Does CPB Type affect recruiting?

[BadAssHskr]

Can someone refresh my memory, does the type of playbook you choose as the base for a custom affect what type of recruits that will have interest in your school?

I used Nebraska's PB as my base, but essentially took everything out of is and started from scratch to build a pro, power run system, but as a base it is the multiple system.

If i want good pocket passing qbs, etc am i better to have a base playbook that is actually a pro system?

Not sure if this is what you mean but your play style depends on...well, how you play. If you put up 300 yards rushing and 100 yards passing a game, your play style will be better for running backs, fullbacks, and rushing QBs, whereas pocket passers and wideouts will have less interest. If you reverse those stats, pocket passers and receivers will have much more of an interest in your school.

This is correct.

I think what he is asking is, if for example, you use Navy's playbook, but still throw the ball for 350 yards a game, will recruits respond more to the 350 yards/passing a game or will they respond more to having Navy's playbook as your own, which is a run-based playbook? It's a valid question because I recall back in the mid 00's, no matter what my offensive numbers were when using Navy, WR's and QB's had almost zero interest in coming to the school, even with QB's and WR's putting up big numbers.
