[QUOTE="Techster, post: 511894, member: 360"] I touched on this earlier. This is where CPJ being slow to embrace social media hurt us in recruiting. Especially since we had multiple skill guys drafted early in CPJ's tenure (though they weren't recruited by him...but, that's where a savvy social media presence comes in handy). CPJ and GT could have gotten ahead of the narrative, instead we let the narrative get dictated to us by other coaches and ignorant media members. Our inaction REALLY hurt the perception of the system. That's why CGC is breath of fresh air. He's taking the negative connotations of GT and turning them on their heads. GT is tough academically? You know what's really tough? Life...specifically, the rest of your life without a degree that's worth a dang. The NFL career is about 3.5 years...then what?! GT is what! Elite kids don't go to GT...the heck they don't. When I was at GT, we had the elite of the elite, and we were ranked every year. Why not GT? The guy is a master at using social media, and the media itself as a tool for advancing GT and our program. Guess what? That stuff is FREE! Why not leverage a free tool that's as powerful as anything else we could do for recruiting. Love it. [/QUOTE]
