[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 282899, member: 77"] What I meant by time was staff man-hours. What you suggest would take a lot of hours of digging, searching, film watching, game watching, relationship building with hs coaches, contacting, traveling, etc, etc, etc. Things that are only allowed by GT recruiting staff and coaches. It's also a bigger gamble when you recruit far from home. You make a huge time investment for a low probability yield. The farther away, the less likely they come. I think we need to focus on this profile: 1. [B]Academics first and foremost. [/B] Kids have to want the "40 yr plan" not just pay lip service to it. They don't have to be great students, just good students who see education as the ticket to success in life, not football. The parents' commitment to and value of education is huge if not paramount. 2. [B]Be great athletes (duh)[/B]. They don't have to be "oven ready" or 5 star players. They just have to have a high upside. They can be guys who are under the radar because they don't have the measureables, but the skill is undeniable. Or they can be kids with measureables out the wazzoo, but are raw and undeveloped/lack experience. 3. [B]Work ethic[/B]. They have to want to work hard to get better. So many kids with high ceilings never reach it because of poor work ethic. 4. High character. Coachable. Kids who'll "run through a brick wall" for their teammates and coaches. 5. [B]Blue chips that...[/B] meet the above criteria [I]and[/I] live near by [I]and[/I] have a strong desire to stay close for family reasons. 6. [B]Blue chips with...[/B] a strong family connection to the school and value that connection. (legacies who value that legacy, example: Swilling boys) [/QUOTE]
