[QUOTE="Milwaukee, post: 210041, member: 1428"] Co-sign Pretty much sums it up, Jerry. Gold glasses won't own up to the facts. Most Tech fans are in denial about the recruiting situation, unfortunately. And I get it to a point; you want to spin everything positively on a message board and that makes you feel more optimistic as you casually stroll along through your daily duties. But face facts gentlemen. Some of these excuses are BEYOND absurd. Stating the facts, and not making excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse, does not make one a debbie downer or even a negative person. I personally think the fact that we don't have more straight shooters is one reason we suffer as a fan base. Let's start questioning the concerns about recruiting to the staff and administration. What in the hell does that hurt? And don't accept the cliche "we're getting who we want" answers. I promise, we're not getting the majority of the studs we'd like to have that actually do qualify to get in. We ALL LOVE TECH and want us to recruit better. Just remember that.
