[QUOTE="Techster, post: 713349, member: 360"] It goes back to popularity. How do you become popular from a team and personal standpoint? Win. The reason UGA and 'Bama and Clemson are so popular is because they are winning. I think that's the selling point with GT: Come here, help us win. GT will help you with your brand, when we win, you will have the entirety of Atlanta knock on your doors for opportunities. College football, college sports really, is regional. There are very few players that will become a national presence that affords them the opportunity to capitalize on being a college star in terms of outside their region. Maybe a player like Trevor Lawrence, or Justin Fields...the elite of the elite. For the most part, opportunities will come on the local and regional level. How do you do same day event promotions in Atlanta if you have practice and classes in Athens/Clemson/Tuscaloosa? Is Nick Saban/Kirby Smart going to let his star RB/QB/LB miss a day of classes or practice to travel to Atlanta to do an event promotion that night? If GT is winning, and an exciting player like Ahmarean Brown/Jeff Sims is making a name for themselves (with the help of GT branding machine), it's not much time for them to leave evening practice, do an event promotion in town for 2-3 hours, and be back in his dorm to study by 8-9pm. Think about the opportunities Josh Nesbitt and Demaryius Thomas missed in 2009 when our team a big deal in Atlanta, and they were VERY popular SAs on the Atlanta scene. I think a guy like Jake Fromm could have capitalize with some offseason marketing campaigns (State Farm!!), but for the most part he would have had to capitilize on opportunities in and around Athen during the season...and it's during the season that these athletes are even in anyone's mind. At the end of the day, if CGC builds GT into a top 10 team like he repeated says, then GT SAs will have ample opportunities...and that will help create momentum to recruit for on the field and off the field opportunities.
