[QUOTE="Connell62, post: 577335, member: 484"] It's definitely a variable, but as I mentioned, there are many, and this is just one component of our struggles from a recruiting perspective IMO. While I don't think that GT is willing to play dirty or pay players, we have tried to at least play on the fringe (Wendell Carter saga) and it has backfired. We just aren't good at that game. I may be at risk of oversimplifying things here, but in addition to putting together a good product on the court and WINNING, there is one other equally important step. Cast a wider net and offer more players. I've been pretty vocal about # 1 and I think that we are finally in position to have a breakthrough type season. With a couple of breaks and an emergence or two, it could be a really fantastic year. As far as # 2, I think that dtm pointed this out last year. We did a great job of evaluating some underrated players, got them all on campus, but each one saw their stock skyrocket making it more difficult. When we missed, we didn't have enough good options for Plan B's. Someone referenced the recent success of Collins earlier in this thread, and I think that is the one thing that I have noticed about the new football staff is the volume of offers. They've offered so many talented kids and they're recruiting all of them extremely hard, that they're going to land a strong class. When I look for areas of improvement for the staff, I think that is at the top of the list. [/QUOTE]
