[QUOTE="Leonard Larramore, post: 18380, member: 588"] Wow did not know the details of the student tickets. Here is how one school gets kids interested in their program. Current players reserve tickets for a prospect and their guest. The players develop a relationship with the prospect and continues the relationship through social media. Sure the kids can attend a game as an unofficial visit, the player inviting them seems more personal. This method has proven to be very effective . Another school recruits students with the sole purpose is to follow players on social medial and constantly interact with them about their program. Many at GT may feel that this is overboard but again it is effective. I was one that hated the fact that kids required so much attention when being recruited. I changed my mind when a young recruit who is now at Alabama shared his view on the recruiting process. He shared his past with me. Situations at home that pushed him to live with another teammate. He stated that all his life he struggled with having the reputation of being that poor black kid whose family has nothing and for the first time in his life he felt important because someone actually wanted him for his gift. He also stated that he wanted to take this opportunity to see different states outside of his own. I found this answer interesting . This is not the case with all of the kids but I am starting to see that it is the reason behind several student athletes making a decision to attend college. [/QUOTE]
