[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 44887, member: 198"] I wasn't pointing these aspects as why kids don't come to GT, I was giving reasons other coaches may not want to implement this type of offense. I agree to a large extent with what DCS just posted. It's human nature to gravitate towards what others view as valuable. I read a study once were it was demonstrably shown that 80% of people, when given a choice of A or B will choose the one that the majority of others chose. It's the safe bet. Why wouldn't you want to play at the school that has the best chance to win? Why wouldn't you want to be part of a team that perennially plays at the highest level? Why wouldn't you want to be part of the elite crowd? It's the same reason we all went to and stayed at Tech (academically). It's why my choices were GT, Stanford, AF Academy and UCONN (can you tell which was my safety school?). We all want to be part of the best if we can. Most of the kids that choose to play football (or any sport other than basketball), choose GT for reasons other than strictly that sport. There are exceptions, but most realize that the education they get at Tech is part of a 40-year decision, at least on some level. There are many other reasons too: exposure, PT, program, fit, comfort, proximity, etc.; but, the driving point is generally "future success". Until GT has the reputation of UGa, Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, USCw, etc., we'll struggle to be competitive with them in recruiting. FACT OF LIFE, There are many reasons why us getting to that point in today's game is near impossible. I've heard most of these reasons 100 times in various recruiting threads. They may seem like excuses, but there's truth to each of them. They conspire to keep us where we are, and will continue to do so as long as they're in place. All this being said, we can be successful. We have been successful in the recent past. I predict we'll be successful again in the near future. I doubt we'll ever return to the Heisman/Alexander/Dodd era of success, but we can see the Ross/O'Leary level success again. Now I'm babbling. [/QUOTE]
