if you look at our roster on offense we are actually setup for a more spread option coach to come in and have success. Its odd since we are a power running team but if we moved to mostly shotgun 3 wide sets we could be a very dangerous team. Our recruiting as been more of a shotgun type spread pattern instead of recruiting a certain type of player for our system we are running.

I think this is a testament to how the game has changed at the high school level. The most talented high school players in the state are playing more and more in some type of spread offense (whether it is primarily running, passing, or a combination). It is going to be difficult to recruit 5* guys that run a pro-style offense. Heck, we can't even find a QB that can regularly take snaps under center.

The offensive game has changed. 10-18 year olds are playing a completely different offense than Les is trying to force them into. He will either change or the offense will continue to flounder.

they still have pro-style QBs out there. they are harder to find and probably wont ever be ranked as high as flashy guys. Now our fan base would flip its shite over recruiting 3 star QBs over a five star but if the kid fits the system better and has the skills that cam can actually mold then go ahead. I could deal with a lower recruiting ranking if we are going to get the most out of the talent.

What we can't do is continue to try and jam the square peg into the round hole. We either shift our offense to fit the new modern qb that is flashy or we find the talented but under the radar guy that fits this offense.
