Re: new rules for recruiting. Grade-based will remain because the college coaches still need to go shopping even if the official commitment and contact happens later. The club coach (and private HS coach) will have all the power as the unofficial communicators. Read between the lines - what is still allowed?

Do you think that if your 2021 goes to a clinic at a college, they will ignore his superior talent or make note/let it be known through unofficial channels that they are interested? It's just creating a log jam in the junior year plus postponing facing the inevitable for some players. Now by the end of the sophomore year, players have to accept that they are D2 or D3 level players. There is going to be more anxiety for the kids who are on the bubble - waiting for the Grade A talent pool to be depleted.

There should be far less de-commitment since kids will have to prove themselves both athletically and academically before they can officially commit.

What will happen to the industry built on evaluating and ranking talent? Or do they become more important to save the college staff time for that very short market window for the top talent?
