[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 228174, member: 77"] Imo, the ideal player for us to go after is the "Will Bryan" type: top performance on both the field of play and in the classroom and highly values education. I think this is our primary focus these days, not the exception types that barely qualify. The problem is there are way fewer of the former than the latter and they are spread far apart and not concentrated in the state of Georgia. This problem is huge but not insurmountable. The real challenge is how do you establish relationships on such a large geographic scale with a limited staff and not the automatic draw and name recognition of a Stanford or ND. A bigger recruiting staff would help, but how much? Most recruiting is done by the assistant coaches, a finite subset, and much of the recruiting is done well before their senior year. These are the guys that establish the crucial relationships not the support staff. Also, where do you get the funds to hire a larger support staff? Fund raising or cuts to other expenditures? It sure would be nice to have Calvin Johnson on staff. [/QUOTE]
