[QUOTE="Techster, post: 519869, member: 360"] I'll repeat it again: Stanford and GT are in the same boat only in the sense that BOTH schools require recruits to have academic credentials greater than about 90% of what other P5 level schools require. IMO, that's about where our similarities end. Stanford's recruiting challenges are on the front end. GT's recruiting challenges are on the back end. After doing research all these years for message board "discussions" (talk about a LOT of wasted time...:whistle:), I've found that Stanford's admissions process is what does them in. They have higher entrance standards. GT doesn't have as high of entrance standards, but we also have the harder road to hoe in keeping our SAs eligible, which means we have to be smart about who we sign. It's not as impossible as some make it seem, but it is a challenge that factory schools and a lot of P5 schools don't have to go through. Keep in mind, we've gotten SAs because Stanford admissions would not accept them...the two examples are Louis Young and Anree Saint Amour...both turned out to be our better players during their time here. Bottom line for BOTH schools: We can sign the elite guys, but the number of elite guys we can sign that qualifies is fewer than the rest of the P5 programs. Same goes for recruiting period. [/QUOTE]
