[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 314807, member: 990"] As mentioned above, part of our problem in state is the fact that UGA and the swag horde drive the narrative. A 4 or 5 star in state is likely to know or have more day to day contact from a UGA fan. That means that someone that is known and maybe trusted is likely to give them an earful of "Tech Sucks". If the team is bad or mediocre they focus on that. If not then it doesn't matter because Tech is no fun and there are a total of 3 women on campus. Although it is untrue, we have a hard time overcoming that because they are likely not to get an opposing view other than the coach recruiting them. This is magnified because UGA has a vested interest in keeping its red and black thumb on Tech athletics. Their biggest nightmare is waking up one morning to find themselves the second best program in the state, despite all their advantages. While you may hear Dwags bemoaning talent leaving the state, they would rather all those escaping 4 or 5 stars go to Bama or Clemson than to stay home and risk the script being flipped in Georgia.
