It is a well known fact that GP recruits not only athletes, but also those that are of good character. In fact, character, is the first of the qualifications that a player "MUST" possess before any offer is extended. GP himself stated that even if he could recruit a 5* player, he would forego that player solely based on talent alone. The player must be of good character above all else. Then, and only then, is athletic prowess evaluated.
Though, Hobbs may have been the mark of good happenstance, where prison overcrowding was a primary determining factor. The moral character is the first variable that is considered by any court of law in this country. Yes, this is truly where CGP excels above his constituents in this matter. This is really the common denominator, as to why TCU has ascended to the heights that it has in the past 12 years.
Life in and of its self is but a game of chance. Make the wrong choice and the penalty could be disastrous. Make the right choice, and you will succeed. Even if that choice initially leads to failure. For it is from failure, which all success is born.
And that may be well and good, but that doesn't mean that the judge give a ( I'm an uneducated idiot that uses profanity) that he went to TCU. The judge would have looked at his character, not the average character of guys TCU recruits like you said.
CGP's constituents? How old are you? I think you mean peers.
And when you recruit as many kids as CGP has in his time at TCU, some are not going to be of good character no matter how hard you try to limit yourself to those. Just the way it is.
