[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 899656, member: 282"] I have seen athletes here crash and burn well before midterms, including some I went to high school with ages ago. It's not just brainpower or intelligence--the workload here is different. Just because you're a 5* doesn't mean that you're not an ace student--FSU had a pre-med Rhodes Scholar for Pete's sake--but the pool of 5* players that are ready for our environment is smaller than the pool of 5* players. Even if 50% of the 5* players are ready to also hit the books as much as they do here, it's the 50% of the 5*'s that every school is fighting the hardest for. Could Trevor Lawrence have made it through Tech? Sure. But there are several categories of prospective student athletes--those that can't make it through at Tech, those that can but aren't disciplined enough to actually do it, those who could but aren't willing to entertain the idea, and those that are interested enough and capable enough and disciplined enough. We need to recruit in the last category, and it's a smaller group. Top-flight recruiting isn't impossible here, but it is more challenging. [/QUOTE]
