I find it very hard to reconcile so few openings with so many offers, and potential recruits being "extremely patient" in claiming an open spot (like cats being herded). I remember ez e saying something like "they said they were only going to take one, so I signed up".

I can only speculate that there are a lot of uncomittable offers out there.

I think it's just the way the game is played today in high level recruiting and as long as the recruit understands what is going I don't see a problem.

I think that is the front half of it and the back half, as previously mentioned by others, involves a conscious effort to turn over the "under performing" portion of the roster.

Both are hard truths that have to be accepted if you are going to compete at the highest levels in the scholarship limit era.

new rules of note:
  • 2-1, which will establish the commitments that guide the underlying operating bylaws. This includes a commitment to fair competition, which ?acknowledges that variability will exist among members in advantages, including facilities, geographic location and resources and that such variability should not be justification for future legislation.? It also includes a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
  • 11-3-B, which will prohibit the live scouting of future opponents except in limited circumstances.
  • 11-4, which will remove limits on the number of coaches who can recruit off-campus at any one time, the so-called ?baton rule.?
  • 12-3, which will allow a student-athlete to receive $300 more than actual and necessary expenses, provided the expenses come from an otherwise permissible source.
  • 12-4, which will permit individuals to receive actual and necessary competition-related expenses from outside sponsors, so long as the person is not an agent, booster or representative of a professional sports organization.
  • 13-8, which will deregulate camps and clinics employment rules related to both recruits and current student-athletes. Senior football prospects will be allowed to participate in camps and clinics.

The legislation eliminates some rules (such as prohibitions on texting recruits and regulations of printed recruiting materials) and adds others (schools can pay for medical expenses and can’t scout opponents in person). All the proposals are effective Aug. 1, 2013.
