Dead Period Extended to April

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I think it’s a bit ridiculous

 

[Pimpdaddycane]

I think this helps us. Who wants to move away from family with this crap lingering.

It's looking like cases of the Rona will be bad through flu season, even if it is getting less deadly. As long as they apply it across the board, i guess it's okay, but campus visits should be allowed if they're able to do it on their own who cares if the college pays.

Coaches are going to really have to earn it in recruiting. Not just to get some highly rated guy, but to evaluate the guys. Lots of Friday nights at HS games instead of entertaining at Prime 112.

That's the way it should be in my opinion. Old school.

Wow, over one year with no in-person recruiting.

I guess people can no longer blame "facilities" or "Rumph" for bad outcomes.

Helps us, right? Keeps SEC from flying their helicopters down here lol

 

[Invalid Username]

Man oh man we better hit on our evaluations...

SEC is still paying for visits lol. LSU and UGA have had big visit weekends “organized by the recruits”

 

[BoxingRobes]

If you're not pulling top classes when your local recruits can't visit these schools or have in-person recruiting, you're doing something wrong.

The bigger question should be the Initial Counters cap of 85. If the NCAA does nothing, Miami is likely the biggest winner as some top 500 kids will get dropped by schools as they won't have room. Miami has room, likely 15-20 as of today. Even if the NCAA grants a single season with 10 additional spots (95), the 2022 season class will push more kids to programs that have space that Miami likely will have.

Miami has gotten to play 7 games (and counting), recruit local kids, local kids have been able to play some ball, could return every starter (not likely), AND add a full class of elite kids. The only thing that would make this better: Rumph getting replaced by an Elite recruiter.

This is obviously a plus for Miami. Don't complain.

I don’t know heard Rumph’s Zoom recruiting rating in NCAA isn’t great. Let’s hope EA got it wrong.

They’re just waiting on everyone to die.

Spoiler

again

 

[Damiencane86]

If the masks really work the recruits should be able to visit within the scope of limited numbers

Ohio State, too. Oklahoma laid out the blueprint

Hopefully we can still have Opening/UA/Rivals camps in spring. Don't see why we wouldn't.

It wouldn't shock me to see them moved to the summer. Even 2-3 months will mean large percentages of the population have been given the vaccine.

I think Blake James mentioned on the OBB podcast that seniors (this season) who stay will not count towards the 85 for next season.

That would create some really unbalanced teams in ‘21. For example, a team with 20 seniors could play 2021 with 105 players then ‘22 hits and they won’t have space for anyone because they lose the extra 20 spots, likely return a bunch of current juniors who have two more year to play now...

The best option IMO is to tier it:
15 for 2021
10 for 2022
5 for 2023

Teams will all have 25yos on the roster for the next 4-5 years. Lol
