Has anyone ever looked into whether the distribution of high school recruits is evenly divided between the four offenses and three defenses or whether they favor one over the others? Particularly at the D1 level.

I'm thinking about changing my offense and wonder whether a wider pool of players is available (and therefore quicker to get up to speed) in one particular offense.

Unfortunately, WIS EEs too many of my guys after two years, three years at the most, so its necessary.

Yet, the tumor is still hanging around.

I don't think anyone has.

i believe the offenses are evenly divided between the four offenses while the defenses are evenly divided between the five (zone, man, press, zone/press, man/press), which gives press teams a slight advantage on the defensive IQ front.

I charted this a few years back out of morbid curiosity. Obviously I can't claim a comprehensive study as there are way more high schools than I sent out coach calls to in assembling a data set. The offense breakdown was trending toward balanced distribution of the types. Defensively, it was easier to find press defenders because of the presence of hybrid zone/press and man/press teams, making press a component of three of the five unique defensive types to the game.
