Yes, can we be like that Hawaii offense back when they had that quarterback that was supposed to come here but didn't come here (cant remember why)?

You know why Calipari gets so many NBA level recruits?  Because they know if they go there, he will put them in a position via playing time and style to help their stats and overall performance look as if they are oozing with talent.

Imagine if we had an offense that averaged over 350yds/game in the air every single year.  Do you think our QBs/Receivers would be drafted higher than they would be if we stuck with a 225/225 approach?  NFL scouts are not morons but make no mistake, they start with numbers and when you have more yards and more touchdowns than most of your peers in the draft, that is sure to help your cause.

You know what happens after that?  High school players start seeing all of our QBs and WR getting drafted favorably and that makes us more appealing to an even more talented group of players.  Those players go on to score more TDs and get more yards and wins and thus be drafted even more favorably.  This happens over and over again until you're a destination school, at least for the WR/QB, arguably two of the most important positions to recruit elite talent.  (remember that the super talented WR that you recruited that don't crack your offense 2 deep, end up giving you depth in the secondary (tebucky jones and richard sherman I am looking at you)

We have a dome, its unique, leverage it.  It will work.
