[QUOTE="Techster, post: 524841, member: 360"] Honest question: What exactly do you think CPJ was going to do with more money? We already recruit across the country and even to Hawaii (See Lucas Johnson and Michael Minihan). GT is located in the 4th best recruiting state, and the 2nd best recruiting state is just south of us. You think giving him another million dollars would have overcome 4 and 5 stars not wanting to play in his offense or practice against it? Sure we would have found another 2 or 3 star in some far flung state, but we could have found that in the Southeast. A million dollars isn't changing APR, it isn't changing entrance requirements, it isn't changing the variety of our majors, and it isn't changing how many fans show up to watch us play Gardner Webb or MTSU. CPJ was here for 10 years. It became apparent that CPJ was a dang good coach, but there was ceiling on his recruiting that he could never overcome. People who think it was just about $$$ with CPJ are really overlooking the narrative surround his system. Whether GT fans like it our not, it was real, and recruits bought into it. No matter how much money you give CPJ, it wasn't going to overcome the narrative. [/QUOTE]
