[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 749456, member: 4110"] That started change in the second half of the Cremins era. it started with Dennis Scott and then Kenny Anderson leaving early. And culminated with Al Harrington (who is a big Tech fan) skipped college entirely. That was the end of the Cremins model of team building. What has emerged that has fundamentally changed the landscape since the 1980s is that elite high school talent developed a tangible market value. A market value creates a potential that pulls toward equilibrium (thus all the under the table shenanigans involving AAU, college, Apparel representatives and agents forming networks to get player's and their families perks; and now the G-League with lega compensation). But the GT community holds the steadfast expectation that her programs do not indulge the Black Market for talent, clinging instead to nostalgic notions of amateurism and integrity. Yet, some fans still expect to land elite talent which has a market value without affording the Institute the freedom to engage the market. I wonder if those fans are aware of the internal contradiction of their thinking. [/QUOTE]
