I run nothing but spread option attacks and I had a ton of success with it in '12 (I won 2 national championships with ASU in my '12 OD with it). I'm a run first guy who would run it every down if I could and my team always leads the nation in rushing yards even over run heavy pro style Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Michigan State, and Georgia user teams. Because of this I recruit almost exclusively for the run. With my style I spread the ball around a ton (I regularly use 3-4 HBs and my top 5 WRs are usually within 10 receptions of each other by the end of the season). This means that I recruit to be much deeper than most teams and probably deeper than you need to be.
These are the types of numbers I typically put up so you can see how I distribute the ball (these are through the regular season of my current OD season, before the CCG).
Anywho, here's how I recruit.
QB: (1)ACC is unquestionably the #1 priority here. I'll take the 90ACC/80SPD guy over the 80ACC/90SPD guy every day of the week and twice on Saturday. This may not be the case in '13 since the QBs are stuck in quicksand for a second when running like they are in '12, but that's still my initial plan for '13. After that you want (2) SPD and then (3) THA. This following guys is the best recruit I've ever signed so he's not your typical guy, but he's absolutely perfect for the spread option and the sort of guy that should be considered the gold standard (minus the horrific 43 CAR of course.....):
O-line:
This, outside of the QB, is the most important area. My ASU team didn't start dominating until about year 6 when I finally built a dominant O-line. For 2 years I had an O-line full of run blockers where no one was rated below a 93 OVR and I had 2-3 99s on the line. My rushing attack was ridonkulous for those 2 years.
(1) RBS, (2) RBF are the only 2 traits I even look at for O-linemen. If I had 2 equal guys, I'd probably use (3) ACC as a tie breaker.
HB:
I try to have at least 1 speed guy and 1 power guy here. The speed guys are tons of fun (I've had 99 SPD/ACC/AGI guys) but I personally prefer the power guys who run defenders over.
Speed: (1) ACC, (2) SPD, (3) AGI.
Power: (1) TRK, (2) BTK, (3) ACC.
WR:
My WRs carry the ball a lot and I prefer the speedsters that can turn a jet sweep, motion option, or short pass (the vast majority of my passes are short) into something spectacular. (1) SPD, (2) ACC, (3) CTH.
TE:
My TEs and FBs only job is to block for me. I throw to my TEs a fair amount, but if he can't block, he'll never step foot on my field. (1) RBF, (2) RBS, (3) ACC.
FB:
I don't use many FBs, but I have 2 formations, with 2 FBs, and 4 formations with 1 FB where I don't sub him out for another HB (because the 2nd back almost never carries in those formations). (1)RBF, (2) RBS, (3) CAR.
