Understand that a great majority of 5A and above schools run option concepts out of the gun. So that would make them a Spread Option team. See Mt. Carmel, JCA,ST. Francis Etc... Just saying. Watch the tape.

I was going to say this. Option is probably the most prevalent offense now.
Yeah, no. You'll be hard pressed to find too many people that consider an RPO offense an "option" offense.
I did a search with Ai about the Triple Option in 2027 and it showed that the triple option would work well...
Unfortunately you do not understand what I said. I said option football. If you study football, RPO football is a version of option. It is a read option except with a pass. Every offense starts with option concepts. When a QB pulls and throws it is because of the action of the read key. That I believe is option football. It is just out of Gun. If you look at RPO it is RUN/Pass Option. Hmmm. Time to study.
No disagreement on your point but that’s not what we are talking about out.
Then why aren't kids from the likes of PR and CG recruited to schools that run a spread option? When was the last time either of those schools had a high level WR recruit. They're not remotely the same offense.
I am not a coach or fan of those teams. I will not comment on teams, coaches or players. This is HS football. All I am saying is that every offense has option concepts. Do the research and you will find your answer. BTW ever hear of a choice route in spread. That my friend is an option route pending the read of the LB or DB depending on the offense. Just saying.
*sigh* congrats on knowing basic terminology, are you going to walk me through a route tree next? Just because players have options on a given play doesn't make it the option offense we're talking about and fairly certain you know that.
Why did a player like Samson Evans, quite possibly the best RB the state of IL has ever seen at the HS level, only get offers from colleges like Eastern Michigan? Because he went to PR where they ran the option and larger FBS programs are going to be leary of players that run the option in HS.

Again, the conversation was specifically about the dwindling number of option run teams (PR/CG/RB)....not spread option, not run/pass option, not option routes, not any other option concepts in football.
Just FYI, Samson Evans was recruited, signed and played at Iowa before transferring to Eastern MI. Plus he played QB at PR.*sigh* congrats on knowing basic terminology, are you going to walk me through a route tree next?

All.... Maybe outside in their parking lot.
The concession stand inside the stadium was selling them smoked on a grill without that type of "special" marinate. RatsyMay have redshirted, but never played at Iowa
IDK Donovan McNabb and Jordan Lynch were pretty successful even though they were only option QB's in high school.
YES, that was in the past.
YES, that was in the past.
All.... I mentioned some time ago on this board with the modest enrollment bump by SHG last year which the Ihsa takes and applies in 2026 for classification that the Cyclones have a good chance of going class 5A this season. A bit tricky to figure out because of the added teams with losing records that will make the playoffs. I have it better then 50- 50 at the moment they go 5A.
Recently came across some school information without a specific number though that enrollment will be up once again this year. Ratsy

It’s not a work of art, it’s about reading the linemen. It’s not rocket science. D line can’t get thrown into the linebackers but Wilmo eventually shoots themselves in the foot with their arrogance like running one of their 9 predictable plays on 3rd and 17 from their own 35 yard line in the 4th quarter.
Shoot themselves in the foot? Wilmington has 3 titles in 5 years running those same 9 plays. You are correct that it's not rocket science, but no one can stop it. Also, for a team that may throw 2 passes a game it makes far more sense to run on 3rd and long even in their own territory versus risking chucking up a pass.
All.... The new playoff format with added teams might bring placement surprises for many schools across all classes in the postseason. My attention at the moment is focused on class 5A. Below is an enrollment list for past 5a qualifying teams. Ratsy

I’ve seen a Mike Noll offense at several stops along the way (McHenry/GBS/RB), and it isn’t
option football.
There’s no midline, no IV, no OV.
I do see Delaware (or similar) DW, much like many other teams (JCA of old, Stevenson (Mitz era), Jacobs (Mitz era), and more).
Flexbone is owned by CG and PR, IMO. Rare to see these days.
