We say that the triple option makes recruiting more difficult. I've said it, but I really don't know if it does or not. The data is observational--we didn't get this quarterback or this running back for some reason so it must have been the scheme driving those multi-star players elsewhere. We recently ramped up the recruiting effort with additional resources, but Paul is leaving before the effectiveness of added staff can be evaluated. There is always the chance that this coaching staff was just not good at recruiting. Not good at selling the school and the program. There is always the chance that the new coach and the new staff are "great recruiters" that move the needle significantly, regardless of the scheme that is brought in. We see it all over the country--some coaches recruit much better than others. Maybe that will happen here.

Defensive Recruiting for a T-Option Team - Defensive players still want to play for a team that can make a good bowl or playoffs. The defensive players also want to be attached to a great team where they get confirmation for bringing their team to the point of notoriety. The team itself and its culture has a lot to do with offensive and defensive recruiting. The defensive coordinator and his staff have to make the Players believe in his scheme and prove it on the field. Still they want the offense to put points on the board so that all the games dont fall on the defense’s shoulders. *(Most teams run a 4-3 defense some 3-4 but mast is the same. You have a great Defensive Coordinator; staff and the players will come and shine!
Offensive Recruiting for the PJ Spread Triple Option. - There are some problems here. The Line, QB and wide receivers have the biggest problems being looked at by the NFL (IF) those players are looking for that after they graduate GT. With as many FBS & FCS schools that there are and as few NFL teams that there are there are many players that want a scholarship, a degree, & play their last years with passion & adrenalin highs. With the linemen Cut Blocking is great for the T-Option, but the NFL want pancakes, passing and zone blocking. The wide receivers are used mainly for taking the defensive wide out down the field, blocking or streak routs. The QB is a half back that should be able to throw & hit ant offensive back 55% of the time when needed or when the defense lets them.
In 1985 & 86 PJ was at GSC, under ERK' s OC. We had a QB, Tracy Ham, backs wide outs & line that could do anything the wanted in 1aa.
In the 3rd quarter PJs assistant said - We have to open it up and let Tracy do his thing" Please watch the 3.4-minute video of the 2nd half of the 85 NC when GSC used a
wide-open Run & Shoot passing attack to win the game.
PJ installed a limited but very powerful
Run & Shoot passing package that both Tracy and his backs. could understand. In 1985 Furman had stopped our Triple Option attack in the first half and took about a 21-point lead. We opend up the Run & shoot and beat them!
Tracy wanted to be QB at Florida but they wanted him at running back. ERK took him as a QB. There is still a chance with as many Highschool QBs running some sort of option to get a QB for GT.
