[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 30189, member: 274"] I dislike posting and reading posts this long, so forgive me this one time... To answer your question I think folks just need to be comfortable not knowing names for two reasons. First, uniforms could be a non-starter for a recruit. I don't think we'll ever know how many kids discount GT off the bat because they don't like Russell or our style. For this scenario described it's nearly impossible to name names or quantify its effect. On the other end of the spectrum are recruits who have a strong interest in GT only to use that as part of their final decision making criteria. It's my opinion that few if any recruits say at the end of the process that uniforms affected their decision from school A to school B because a) it sounds superficial and they don't want to come across that way and b) some recruits probably don't even realize the effect is has on them. I agree, I don't know which is better, "newer" or "traditional". It's likely an important point that I'm incapable of figuring out, but that wasn't my reason for posting the article. The point that the article proves is that at the end of the day uniforms matter. To what degree uniforms matter for GT relative to other criteria (e.g., academics, winning program) is subjective from recruit to recruit. Even if uniforms matter only 3% in total, there's no sense handcuffing yourselves that additional 3% and ignoring this as an opportunity area altogether. [/QUOTE]
