Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1427891, member: 527"] I hope that isn't true. I mean it would be a great philosophy if SU was an Ivy league school competing against the Harvard's and Yale's of the world. In a Power 5 conference take the best athletes you can get. The character and work ethic matters to a point no doubt but at the end of the day you gotta have guys who can hold their own on the field and compete vs the other ACC teams and their talent level. If someone is a better athlete but they have a "C" in History and they show up in the weight room at 10am not 5am, I'm not gonna turn him away cause a lesser athlete is more of a gym rat who is up and at it at 6am every day and has a 4.0 GPA. Athleticism is the most important thing in a recruit, you start there and then look at everything else after that. [/QUOTE]
