[QUOTE="year_of_the_swarm, post: 646473, member: 3149"] I have a different take on this recruiting stuff, especially as it relates to the old regime. [B][U]Recruiting - Current[/U][/B] [LIST=1] [*]When you run the same system that everyone else runs, you have to have equal players to be as good, or better players to be better. Not that complicated. [*]How many players equal to the players in the area can Georgia Tech? That would be against Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Central Florida, Miami, South Florida, North Carolina, NC State, etc. Those are the main competition in the region for top recruits. [*]How many elite players in the area can Georgia Tech get? That would be against Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida, Florida State, Central Florida, Miami, South Florida, North Carolina, NC State, etc. Those are the main competition in the region for top recruits. [/LIST] [B][U]Recruiting - Option Regime[/U][/B] [LIST=1] [*]When you run a system that is designed to make up for size and talent disparities... you don't have to have equal players to be as good. You don't have to have better players to be better than the competition. You just have to run the scheme efficiently and it is proven to work. That is why Army, without a single player who could play for Oklahoma or Michigan, took those schools to overtime in the past year. [*]How many great athletes are out there that Georgia Tech can get that Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Florida State, etc want to convert to safety or wide receiver, but want to play quarterback? [*]How many power backs are out there that want to play BB? [*]How many great athletes are out there that don't fit in traditional offenses, but would make excellent AB's?
