[QUOTE="bravejason, post: 41960, member: 1069"] I think it is irrelevant what offenses teams run in high school. If you only recruited players that came from schools running the same offense then you would be recruiting from a much smaller pool players than the competition which would put you at a severe disadvantage in recruiting. If we had a coach who base offense was an I-formation, would you want him to avoid recruiting all the 4* & 5* rated players that played in spread offenses since it would take more time to train those guys to play in from an I-formation? You recruit talent and then train it to fit the offense. Most players take a redshirt their first year anyway so they have a lot of practice in the offense before they play their first down. A player good enough to play as a true freshman is good enough to adapt to the offense regardless of the offense his high school team ran. As to your comment about trying something different, GT ran a completely different offense under Gailey and didn't have as much success as CPJ has had. Changing the offense can be done, though it will take a new coach to do that. While I can appreciate the desire to try something different, I would caution you to not make the mistake of thinking that changing the offense automatically brings more success. [/QUOTE]
