[QUOTE="CEB, post: 896488, member: 4905"] The other disingenuous points on recruiting: Because we didn’t recruit as well as some think we should’ve... “you can’t recruit to the option... you’re always at disadvantage” Recruiting rankings are the only thing you can point to in evaluating recruiting success, but no recruiting services are ranking guys (particularly QBs and OL) based on how well they fit an option scheme. Recruiting rankings get revisited years later based upon actual performance, and we typically trended up. That could be because they don’t rank option fits very well or because we develop talent. In either case, it makes the freshman year ranking of the class irrelevant (if it ever had relevance to start). That said, I would’ve loved to recruit better. That was part of the allure of the experiment; power 5 recruiting to the option... I don’t think anything was proven conclusively (big leap, right?) Finally, I’ve seen many people here claim that offensive and defensive efficiency rankings really aren’t that difference between 30 and 60 rankings. But people are losing their minds if we’re ranked 60 in recruiting vs 30. For what it’s worth, I want to be recruiting in the 30s or even the 20s. For us, unfortunately, it will be a lagging indicator because we’re going to have to win first to approach that. [/QUOTE]
