[QUOTE="PBR549, post: 314749, member: 1991"] Tech has always recruited differently than most schools. Tech not only has to get the athlete in but the athletes have to be able to stay in with difficult academics. We see some who can't make it. It's a tough trick to get the ones who can make it academically and be competitive in football. Most others don't have to worry about that. Some coaches can recruit that way and others can't. That's why having coaches on staff who understand Tech recruiting is so important. A few years ago I was involved with a kid who was a great football player and a Tech football legacy who's father was a good player. Tech couldn't recruit him because of his academics. There wasn't any way he would have made it even if he had been able to get in. He played four years at an SEC school and got drafted and is now in the NFL. This scenario is common in Tech recruiting.
