[QUOTE="Essobee, post: 21850, member: 715"] IMHO, the past AD and the Hill are responsible for GT going away from that model. First, Tech needed to recruit student athletes that can and will graduate while competing in the classroom with high IQ regular students, so recruiting was more a matter of finding interested student athletes instead of opening the doors to any athlete that has four and five stars by his name. The strategy seems to be that Tech should work within its constraints by developing good players over five years instead of employing great players for three years (or less if they flunk out). Second, the GTAA needed to cut costs, which impacted the number and quality of our coaching manpower for several years. Hopefully, we are over that hump by now. [/QUOTE]
