Georgia Southern 2017 Recruiting: Three Big Questions

In February 2016, incoming Georgia Southern Eagles coach Tyson Summers did an excellent job of retaining recruits who might have wavered due to former coach Willie Fritz's departure to Tulane.

This year, the team's signing class could be the exact opposite of last season’s.

I will add the caveat that with a new offensive coordinator and scheme, recruiting rankings cannot be completely ignored, but they become less important if the team reverts to a flexbone offense.

If Summers and OC Bryan Cook want a 60-40 split between the spread option and the flexbone or even a half-and-half split between the two styles of offense, this class is not impressive, at least on paper.
