Recruiting

Something needs to change. Press in this new era has basically been crippled with so many D1 owners. Either add more players in the recruit pool, give extra funds to press teams or give less to teams that run man or zone. Another option would be to have reserve players that are way better than walk-ons. I understand the rolls are coin flips but you have many disgruntled owners that can field a team with the processes in place now. Other options by conference mates have been I've always felt that some additional "good" recruits should be released into the pool for the second recruiting phase to allow for folks who lost rolls to have a crack at decent talent. They maybe shouldn't be rated above a certain level (as to not devalue the earlier process and maintain the consequences of missing on earlier targets). Maybe walk-ons that coaches developed but didn't sign could fit that bill? Also, getting some recruiting cash back if you were supposed to win a roll by the odds and lost, would be a nice consolation to help coaches recover from a tough loss. Again, not the full amount you spent but a percentage to give you something to compete in the late window. Like everyone, I've been on the losing side of rolls that crippled my entire recruiting season and set my team back years. Some reasonable safety nets would be welcome to prevent a program from completely unraveling.
