[QUOTE="Techster, post: 510357, member: 360"] We already recruit nationwide. Hell, we even go to Hawaii. IMO, CPJ's last plan is probably the best plan: Focus on target rich areas (high football talent + good schools). The theory is kids who go to good schools appreciate what GT means, and you have kids that play in a talented football region. Easier to recruit. I actually agree with that. So instead of hitting all 50 states, you hit the big Metro Areas with good schools. That was Al Groh's model as well as we got a number of very good kids out of the DC/Baltimore area (Louis Young, Jeremiah Attaouchou, etc.) Surprisingly, you want to know where GT has had success? IMG Academy. They are the 'Bama of HS football. IMG is literally a football/sports factory. The one thing IMG does do is emphasize academics with athletics. Kids who go there are around highly talented kids from various backgrounds...usually affluent backgrounds as it cost "normal" kids a LOT of money to train there. That rubs off on kids who grew up that didn't understand the meaning of an elite education. WE've now gotten 2 4 star kids in successive years out of there...the last one committed when we didn't even have a coach because he wanted the GT education.
