[QUOTE="RespectAPA, post: 663245, member: 4748"] Good thing was, the difference of our scheme to most other teams was big enough that the kind of players we recruited for were 3*s whom we were often one of the only, if not the only, offer to come play P5 football, and then those 3*s, if the evaluation was on point, would come in and play like 4*s and occasionally like a 5*, because the scheme asks for something different out of almost every single offensive position. We can take a guy who is getting passed on by the other universities in the south because his pass blocking needs a lot of work, or his passing is only FCS level despite being an incredible athlete, he misses a few too many catches for comfort despite being a physical as hell blocker, or trying to exist at all as a FB in the 2010s, etc. [I]It makes recruiting easier[/I] to scout players that can play to an elite standard in your system but have flaws that limit them in other systems, because you present them with a choice: come here and play ACC football + vs. Georgia every year, or go to a G5 school and get less attention + play fewer exciting matchups. Or with players like Justin Thomas, offer an incredible athlete the chance to run the offense at the QB position rather than whatever the SEC programs that recruited him would have forced him into. Now, to get those elite players, the offense now faces the same obstacle the defense always did: you gotta convince those elite kids to come here instead of taking any of the other very interesting P5 offers. This past decade we were able to take the scraps of the P5 and turn them into an effective and efficient core of players on offense and win games despite an anemic defense, but moving forward recruiting has got to carry of the weight of both sides of the ball. Whether Collins can make [I]that[/I] happen will determine his legacy. [/QUOTE]
