[QUOTE="BeeRBee, post: 205126, member: 1466"] It is hard to argue with, but I'm not sure that Bilas' citing "admissions" is really part of the solution. With the APR rules, you really have to make sure that the student-athletes are capable of doing the work. Now, maybe given the academic problems at the end of the Hewitt era, Gregory has been under a shorter leash to provide a margin of safety. If so, I would agree that there could be some loosening. However, with only 13 scholarships you really can't take too many academic risks. Given the caliber of athletes that Gregory has recruited but not landed, I think GT could be successful recruiting the same pool if they could close on the prospects. The question in my mind is how much of the failure to close is Gregory, the current status of the program, the academic load, etc. I'll admit to being wired as somewhat of a pessimist, and at times I worry that too many of the current top level players simply don't see the benefit in managing the GT academic load and collegiate basketball at the same time. It's not only a different world than when Cremins was here, but it's different than in Hewitt's time as well. [/QUOTE]
