[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 117839, member: 639"] It just goes to show how daunting a task recruiting a full roster of players really is. It is hard to know how many injuries, transfers, or academic / disciplinary casualties you will face as a program. Suffice it to say, you can't just recruit directly to the number that should result in a full position group. The long term history shows that we, like any program, will lose people. In today's culture, being a role player on a team is less palatable to players than ever. Kids are more likely to transfer than delay gratification. They are also more likely to run from an academic challenge than face it. Such is life. Obviously, every decision you make to bring a kid in to a place like GT is crucial. You really have to have a good knowledge of the strike zone and take the close pitches. Swings and misses will kill you too. It is a tough position to be in. Superior recuiting is as much about finding great players as it is finding kids who can make the cut in terms of academics, unselfishness, character, self-discipline, and patience. Then you have to sprinkle in a little luck too. [/QUOTE]
