Tulane Football: "From Worst to First"

With recruiting, what kind of guys do you recruit for the positions ( i.e. - OL run or pass, DL pass rusher or run blocker)?

On defense I run the default "Multiple D" playbook. Though that may change as I can't stop the pass to save my life. On offense I run a created playbook I call "Killer Option," which I update from time to time.

How I recruit:
QB: scrambler
HB: speed
FB: receiving
WR: speed
TE: blocking
OL: run block
DL: pass rush
LB: balanced
CB/FS/SS: hard hitter
K/P: power

On offense I like my skill positions to have great speed, and my big guys to have great power. Though FB's have BOTH in my offense - they're wildcard players. I like my defense to be aggressive. Also, no excuse for bad special teams.

I tend to stay away from Juco guys unless I really have a need and need to fill a starting spot that next year or in some cases if they have a redshirt, I will do that and have a 2 year starter when they come off because they are typically rated higher then your Avg 2 or 3* guy

Just curious because you have Harper who is a Juco JR who is a 2*, and I couldn't remember what your QB situation was next season.

Next year Devin Powell returns for his fifth & final season, and he'll probably be a 95+ ovr QB. After that, who knows...

Anyway, I recruited Harper more as an athlete than a QB. Didn't wanna cheese recruiting ATH's. Don't know what I'll do with him yet.

**A break in the action...


So in case you guys haven't heard, I'm gonna create a "rugby-style" offense. I'm calling it the "Rugby O." Gonna do another dynasty (with thread) to see how it works out. If it does I'll implement the offense into this dynasty.

Thoughts?


EDIT: gonna do updates for the Cincinnati & New Mexico State games today. Will play #13 Auburn tonight.

Looking forward to seeing how that works out for you KSW.

The playbook's pretty much made. Just doing some "beta testing," haha.

Oh, also finished the Auburn game today. Let's just say that goal I had of 10 wins this season is gonna have to wait. Maybe next year.

What exactly would a rugby offense look like? I'm interested, it would be a ton of fun I'm sure. You've done a nice job with Tulane.

Thanks man. I appreciate the recognition.

The offense I created is basically a combination of HB tosses, HB/WR screens and sweeps. Mostly a Flexbone & Shotgun playbook as I tried to simulate the concept of lateral movement in rugby. Still in the beta test phase but it's kinda working, haha.
