[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 864864, member: 1191"] IMO, this argument is a cop-out. For you to say that any kid can come to GT and have a gateway to any career ignores the fact that many kids truly are looking for the best fit for them and that fit may be elsewhere. Saying that any kid can come here and we have a degree that can get him anywhere he wants to go is just another way of saying anyone who believes otherwise is wrong, and ignores the vast amount of nuance that goes into the bulk of student athletes decisions. Sure, we lose some recruits because we don't pitch something the best way, but to assume that people who do this for a living are somehow serially inept at GT, but can and have been proven successful elsewhere seems improbable. Everything I have ever seen here leads me to believe that it is indeed vastly more difficult to recruit top tier SAs to GT, but it is not impossible. Where is our recruiting ceiling? Top 30? Top 25? Top 20? Who knows for sure because we haven't seen consistency there yet. (Caveat that with the pandemic, NIL, and transfer portal changes we might not know for certain just yet as the recruiting landscape has changed drastically) Fortunately, this is one area (recruiting) where I really trust Collins instincts, so hopefully we see vast improvement this year.
