In the year 2020 kids want to play in a up tempo offense. The key to winning is recruiting. You don't carry a jackass to the Kentucky derby.
There is a lot of truth to that. Still, there is always room for success outside of the current cookie cutter patterns. Nobody enjoys playing teams like Wisconsin annually, they have a unique brand that does not rely on top 25 classes or A HUNH offense. Of course they have an identity, and recruit/develop to that identity. SC needs to find its identity.
