[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 40497, member: 77"] There's many factors the go into a prospect's decision to attend college and where to play football, academics and coach likeability is just two. The academic hurdle is multi-faceted, imo. It's much more than just academic rigor or limited majors. More importantly, academics what defines the entire school experience. Most blue chip prospects, yes - even the smart ones, want to play in front of 80,000+ rabid fans every Saturday and be splashed across Sports Center daily. They want an active social life at school that involves having time to relax off the field and actually interact with good looking girls. You don't get that at GT or not nearly as much as at a typical factory - and most of these things will not change, even if we get real good at football. There's also the lack of having a realistic shot at a national title. Several factory schools in the area offer that, we do not. There's very few coaches out there that can overcome these built in recruiting hurdles and convince blue chip prospects to forego the multitude of surrounding factories. We need a coach and staff that know who to target, first of all, and then how to sell those unique individuals. Propects must value education above, or at the very least, equal to football. [/QUOTE]
