Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 2373622, member: 1251"] Over the past few years, we have lost out on recruiting targets that have actively mentioned on twitter or in interviews that they don't want to play zone. That is a fact. Off the top of my head I know both Nick Richards and Jahvon Quinerly publicly stated that they didn't want to play zone as a primary defense. I also know from talking to a member of the SU coaching staff that an early vetting point in determining how hard they are going to go after a kid is to get a feel for whether the kid is OK with playing zone. After the Harris/Flynn situation where neither wanted to play zone as the primary defense, the staff needs to know that the kids they bring in are committed to the SU system. It's not a good locker room if there is active dissent with respect to the system JB implements. So YES, we recruit for the zone and YES there are kids out there that don't want to play it. [/QUOTE]
