[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 937575, member: 265"] I think what we have here is decisions about how to spend limited recruiting resources. Paul was always working with a a limited recruiting budget and limited staff. So the algorithm is: find players with the grades to make it into Tech –> determine if players want to come to Tech -> determine if players from that program who come to Tech stick at Tech for the requisite time to figure out what they are doing -> go after players who fit and hope for the best. There's a reason, for instance, why Tech recruited - and probably still does - at parochial schools: the players there were more likely to be successful candidates for a degree to Tech and would be more likely to stick until they were useful on the field. This does not mean that Paul and his assistants wouldn't go after players at programs like you describe and go after them hard. It's that those scare resources could probably be used more efficiently to get players who fit the algorithm. So you give face time to schools - and parents - where you are more likely to have success. And, btw, I don't expect this scheme to change remarkably, even with the greater recruiting resources Key now has. But we'll have to see how that works out. [/QUOTE]
