Here's one we can agree on.

RE: OT: UT Recruiting Coup!
ok - that fooled me. I went to the article and looked at the picture and was trying to figure out which sport each of them were recruited to play. Had no idea, although I guess basketball for one of the girls and swimming for the other. The guys - I assumed one was golf and the other - nothing came to mind.

Great to hear 4 of the brightest in the city will be going to UT. That is fantastic.

Also glad that UT is not one of the schools in the news with the ultra liberal campuses that are preoccupied with protesting and shutting down free speech while not preparing their students for life after college. I guess from that standpoint, we may benefit from parents that have no desire to pay $40K/year, then have to have their kids go out and get a secondary degree so they can get a job.

Good for the future. The best and brightest need to know they are VERY welcome to grow at home. Shocked that the SJJ vali chose UT. They historically look down on their noses at UT as an insult for their grads.

Eh,... huh? Lots of SJJ grads at UT. A couple on this board. Now of course, Valedictorian doesn't necessarily mean top SAT in the school but it probably means really, really good, as well a competitive person.


But even if you're correct, then maybe there's been a purposeful change. People on the board have said, this Admin is hitting the streets. I suspect these are not the only Validictoreans from the area, headed towards UT.

In these threads my common theme is, for a mid-sized lower exposure University like UT to compete, they have to find a way they can provided something top students and young researchers won't get at an Ivy or B10 type and that's the opportunity to skip right into the dynamic stuff, the research. That's what UT offered and the kids took it.

Goes with my "rant" on how they're using land. Re-done athletic fields are nice but those do not raise a University's exposure. Use them for young research to market space. But now I've been told a facility they have, which has high potential in that area, is sitting practically unused. If correct, then I'd be turning that space over to exactly those types I'm trying to attract, particularly domestic. Kids, you're good at programming. Come to UT and for the next four years, this virtual reality environment is yours to play with. Researchers you want to get your research to market, these kids are yours.

These excellent students had no shortage of options on where to spend their next four years. Maybe Dr Gaber made them an offer they could not refuse. I’m not opposed to paying for the brightest and best

Also, I suspect the overall academic quality of the incoming freshmen class is likely higher than ever. Now, it’s up to faculty and staff to up their game to provide a quality education and supportive learning environment.

Welcome Rockets Class of 2022!

The best catholic grade school in the city of Toledo. UT made a great catch by landing all 4 of these great students.
