Interesting read (linked above) by the Duck-Meister himself, however it does actually mostly compliment the Beavers and it does stimulate some interesting thoughts vis-a-vie Spread vs Pro Set at Oregon State.
I'm on record having acknowledged my belief that Riley understood more of the recruiting dynamic then most are willing to acknowledge. I do enjoy watching a spread style game more so then that of a pro-set....however of late I seem to believe the Palo Alto Smash Mouth is the best matchup with a Big 8/ SEC playoff team.
The references to reorienting OSU to a more Pro-Set would make available more recruiting options then pursuing the same players the other 10 conference members (minus Stanford) are engaged in. The current staff will rightly so continue with the dual-threat offensive scheme.
As of now this staff is looking at:
2015: 2-10
2016: 1-11 (Non-Conference games Minnesota, Idaho State, Boise State)
2017: 4-8 (Non-Conference games Minnesota, Portland State, Nevada)
At C.O.B. 2017 if the record is indeed in the neighborhood of 7 wins out of 36 games played then the HC Seat will get very very warm.
Question: In the average recruiting footprint of OSU, is there actually a significant amount of "Pro-Set" recruits that would legitimize Canzano's hypothesis?
Thank You for your time.
