[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 465519, member: 282"] While Calvin Johnson played for Gailey, it was Fridge’s offense that recruited him. He grew up watching that offense and those players. That’s why I’m not as keen on a Pro-style offense; it’s what Gailey ran, but Fridge didn’t run a traditional pro-style offense. So, there may be systems that kids want to play in, but a traditional pro style offense is going to be boring here and not attract big time athletes. Gailey put a lot of recruiting talent on his staff, and they hit once big with one great class. Otherwise, Johnson is recruiting as well. Gailey started his first year with players who were going to the NFL and did squat with them. Will Heller was in the NFL until 2012. A lot of our great players were on the defense, where we were anything but conventional. Why didn’t they want to play in a conventional defense like the pros played against? Maybe our offense was so bad because we practiced against that unconventional defense all the time. There’s some stuff that CPJ deserves criticism for: he either didn’t master or didn’t put as much emphasis on recruiting as other coaches. I think he probably felt like players would want to come after the first few years after they saw him win. He hasn’t managed press relations well (and that’s been a sore spot for our athletic department in general—that they haven’t been the best with the press doesn’t help with him). Over the years , our offensive line has had issues, but I don’t think it’s that kids don’t want to play in this system. The players we recruit are big enough to play. The average ACC lineman weighs 298 lbs and is 6’4” tall. Aside from some freshmen and walk ons, we’re there. Some of our younger players are huge. I’ve never seen a CPJ practice, so I don’t know if it’s coaching, but we’ve had good lines before. So far this year, there have been a bunch of missed blocks, and injuries have played a part, but I expected the line to be a strength this year, and it hasn’t been. I think Anree St Amour can make the league. I think Lynch might catch on as a slot receiver. Camp looks really good. So does Carpenter. Braun looks good too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
