Pretty much everybody is open zoned. If it was just about talent, Oakland wouldn't have made it past the Quarters last year and Brentwood Academy would have won D-II AAA the last few years. It matters how you build your program, if you build it from youth ball on up, it's gonna have staying power. It's not a fluke that Maryville has played at an elite level for 30 years
Everybody loves to crap on Wing-T, Flexbone and Wishbone but all those fancy schemes you see at the college or pro level have roots in those offenses.
