[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 326169, member: 322"] I don't think GT recruits that well overall. But let me explain why: 1) If we recruit a top 100 player, yes they go to the MLB >70% of the time. But that happens for most everyone not named Vanderbilt or Virginia or Florida (and maybe a few others). I wouldn't be surprised if those players aren't compensated with compatible jobs / bonuses some how. 2) The rankings are updated after the draft. We have highly ranked recruiting classes that consistently haven't panned out based on our on field performance or performance after GT. Mostly injuries or the kids just don't keep progressing. It seems we have more than our share of that. 2a) While you really can't separate talent and program and coaching and luck, our highly ranked classes don't do much while at GT or going on to the MLB after GT. We only have 4 players currently in the MLB ([SIZE=1][URL]http://www.thebaseballcube.com/teams/teampage.asp?T=20124&Page=Alumni[/URL][/SIZE] ) and I don't think that many knocking around the minors. (Full list in the link.) 2b) My opinion is that the players from major metropolitan areas (So Cal, Florida cities, Atlanta) area get much better coverage and are over rated relative to kids that aren't as exposed. But hey, if anyone can convince a top 100 player to commit and stay at GT by whatever means, there are 100 or so GT baseball fans who would really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
