[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 260027, member: 2957"] I always enjoy the recruiting challenges at Tech. It's only been going on since 1892. Here are some thoughts .. [LIST=1] [*]Recruiting classes aren't everything. Tennessee and UGA both have recruiting classes whose composite score is double ours. Look at their teams. They are in shambles. Coaching and discipline matter too. [*]An impediment is an opportunity. It looks to me like Tech is trying to recruit like everyone else. If the recruiting process isn't working, change the process. Or change the specs on the ideal recruit. Maybe Tech doesn't WANT 5 star recruits. Fine. Then recruit and develop differently. [*]Navy had a run going and they dealt with it. Is it the school, the kids, or the coaching? If we had a defense worth a salt, I doubt we'd spend much time on the forums re recruiting. [/LIST] I've seen similar complaints from other "tech" schools re recruiting. And it's a fact that we can only target 20% of the total pool because our standards are that much higher. My personal take is that we need a HUGE pool to pull from which means we need a truly national recruiting program. (Recruiting nationally is not the same as having a national recruiting program.) Has anyone at GTAA ever benchmarked our recruiting process and made recommendations for improvement? I'm not sure. I don't think so. But don't you feel like a real CHAMPION when you do put it together and win? I do. [/QUOTE]
