Last Wednesday, Barlow and his staff signed a class that reflected those new philosophies. And in terms of filling needs, it was a successful signing day. ASU welcomed in 28 players, almost all of which addressed a hole created by a graduating senior or a change in philosophy. Offensively, for example, Barlow's game plan is to create a hybrid-style offense that uses elements of the spread offense's short passes and the pro formation's power rushing attack.
As the Hornets learned last season, when they employed the spread, quick, agile receivers are a must. Without them, the short passes in the spread are just short passes. In one game, ASU completed 23 pass attempts for only 136 yards. To address that issue, the Hornets signed six receivers in this year's class. All of them have good speed and four of the six were signed specifically because of their ability to run after the catch.
