Tech has to be a brutal place to recruit BB players to. 1) As big state schools go, it is fifth best behind Texas, TAMU, OU, and OSU in terms of academics. 2) It is literally in the middle of nowhere. For an inner city kid, it actually makes Waco look like a better place to hang out. 3) It may have the worst weather in Texas. 4) In the Big 12, most of the other teams had better basketball history.
Among the former SWC schools, it would be my last choice to send my child to.
Didn't seem to be the last choice for Craig James to send HIS child to

It is my understanding that Tech was the only scholarship offer Adam James received. Thus, he ended up at Tech b/c it was his only choice. Pretty much how everyone ends up at Tech.
He was your age once. BTW, he won his first national title when he was 35 -- that's the 1976 undefeated Indiana team. Not bad. No other team has gone undefeated since then.
