[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 315161, member: 2451"] As others have noted, we recruit to our scheme. Does anyone really think that Robert Godhigh (Lord bless him) all 5 foot 7 inches of him could have played even a down at your typical football factory? Emery Peeples? Tony Zenon went to a private school here in Albany but was considered too small, Even Roddy Jones was probably not highly recruited despite being a DeKalb County legend. Those shifty little Abacks that no one really wants thrive in this system. Quick, athletic tackles that would be shunned in a pro style offense are perfect for the triple option. Somewhat undersized centers that are smart, quick, and explode off the ball like Jay Finch and Johnson's very first one, the one who was a walk on defensive tackle from Gainesville, Florida (God forgive me but I cannot remember his name) can play here. We recruit to a different type of player especially on offense. Looking for top 25 classes? Better keep looking because in the 20 or so years of the modern recruiting era Tech has had probably no more than one top 25 class. The wonder is that we are not bottom feeding with the Tulane and Rices of the football world. [/QUOTE]
