[QUOTE="Animal02, post: 525068, member: 347"] There are about 8 regions that most of the D1 players come from IIRC. Having on recruiter and one support staff per region would not be unreasonable. Obviously other schools are doing something right since they have caught up to / passed Tech by. We are now going to copy their offenses....seems logical to copy their recruiting ;) It is not just the spending on recruiting, but on the overall program as well. Kids are looking for the shiny new objects. Schools that have them will be able in a better position to compete for them. The bigger point is the blame placed on CPJ and the "scheme" as the reason for less than average recruiting. I say it is a structural issue. All the hype about Collins and recruiting is like putting high octane gas is a Ford Focus.....it will run a bit better.....but it still will be a Focus and not a Porsche, Vette, or even Navigator. So if the plan is to aim for 3* players as you say, and develop them.....why all the complaints about CPJ's recruiting, (not by you) which is essentially what he did. Just a whole lot of hypocrisy by a bunch of posters...... The structural issues at Tech remain.....nothing changes by switching coaches. IMO, that means to overcome that, the proverbial needles in the the haystack must be found (not just hype and saying we are now like all the cool kids) and that will take far more resources than Tech has been spending.
