[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 754472, member: 2957"] [B]You said: Plus he can say all of our graduates are set for life. Plus, based CPJs record, he can claim you will actually graduate, and btw you should check out the grad rate of da factories, like ugag.[/B] Sure he can. But I'm talking Five Stars. And the percentage of those athletes that get drafted in the first. You deflected by talking about grad rates for all players which is a totally different population. Do you really think a 5* SA about to sign for multi-millions cares what the grad rate is? [B]You said: EVERYBODY, including us if we ever get one again like CJ, can claim their 5* get drafted at a high %.[/B] Claiming is one thing. It is a fact that 5* who play at Alabama have a 55% likelihood of being drafted in the first round. BTW, I'm not talking about getting drafted. I'm talking about getting drafted in the first round where the compensation is likely to be far higher. [B]You said: He can also say--check out what our current players, many of whom you know, say about what it's like to be here vs Tuscaloosa and Athens. Plus, be sure kid and walk around Bama, CU, and ugag campuses and look at what the pick-up truck stickers say (have your parents do the same thing, ok). And finally, ask the recruit to check out what ugag's recent stars are saying about how they were treated on campus,I don and compare that to going to school in Atlanta and all that this means.[/B] He can say that. But if the main argument is earnings potential, none of that matters. A 5* with aspirations to play in the NFL has the highest likelihood of getting drafted in the first round by attending Alabama.
