[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 541158, member: 2627"] Which part of how I described what Key said made it sound like a crap ton of kids will respond to it? There's plenty of reason for pumping the brakes just a bit so I'm not knocking what you're saying and in fact I think we agree for the most part that it's not going to suddenly be a landslide of NFL ready kids. In point of fact I actually said that I'd be surprised if more than half the room got it and probably only SOME would listen. I think you might be projecting what you think people who are excited are suggesting vs what I really said. And you didn't mention what I said might be even more important than the kids hearing what Brent said which was that those mentors in the room may get it and if some of them get it then perhaps they might not shy away from recommending kids listen to GT. Every little bit helps. Anything that can make a GT education sound a little bit cool help. All the small messages add up and if they help us get 2-3 more 4* kids in a class then it's worth it. One could do a lot of digging on my posts on various message boards and wouldn't find me predicting a massive uptick in recruiting or wins. What one will find is that I think we can move the needle a bit upwards and instead of averaging 7 wins per year maybe push that up to 8-9 wins per year and hopefully be able to beat Georgia once every few years (which we did under CPJ and I will always love him and his coaches for that!!!). I don't predict we will be pulling in top 25 recruiting classes every year nor do I suggest we're going to be awash with 5* kids lining up to bust down the doors for our scholarships. So I feel like I'm pretty realistic in my expectations. But what I think we CAN do better is sell what GT is and why it's good because the kids already know what's bad and gosh knows they hear that all the time. So if we can just change a little bit of the narrative with cool ways of messaging then that's a good thing. [/QUOTE]
