BREAKING NEWS: New NCAA Rule on commitments
Nov 14, 2012, 12:12 PM
|
|
Let's make it so that a recruit's Verbal commit is just as binding as a signed Letter of Intent and the recruit must be released from his commitment by the school he committS to. This simple rule change will stop the insanity that is now the recruiting process... it will stop the media from hounding kids into reconsideration and it would stop schools from continuing to badger kids who have already committed. What good is a "commit" if it is meaningless??? Put some teeth into it and they will think twice before committing, and once they do, the hoopla is over.
Point me if you feel this is a good idea and we can push this idea forward! The current circus-like process has to be changed, and the sooner the better.

I remember when a verbal commitment was binding.

Now at days it means nothing,which is exactly why Dabo tried to get him to keep looking around before he "committed".

really all a verbal is. There is a reason for signing day - that is the only time anyone actually commits.

the NCAA is a sham and so is recruiting

CFB is a minor league NFL and all of the supposed rules and regulations are just a shell game, in my personal opinion.
I think there should be one simple rule: No football scholarships until year 2. You apply to school, you go to school, you play football, and the coach can give you a scholarship starting year 2.

I like the idea of coaches not being allowed to contact high school players until their senior year. Seems that would eliminate some of the early commitment hassles.

It won't happen exactly like this, but football definitely needs an early signing period. While so many people on here say "he's just 17, give him slack", or "it's a tough decision, blah blah blah." The truth is that we got completely screwed over. It's not difficult, if you think you want to look around don't commit. Dabo even told him not to commit. We lost out on 4 months of recruiting that position because RN kept saying that he was solid for Clemson. Now we have to play catch-up and most top level players have begun to narrow down their lists. We are trying to throw a hail mary and snag Lawson who has been committed since March, but do we have any other options if that falls through?

We could just keep the current concept that only the Letter constitutes a binding commitment and people shouldn't but much faith in something said by a 17/18 year old after just having a great weekend where he was treated like royalty.

Problem with that is that it's a double edge sword... if Dabo and staff disregard the commitment's they get and continue recruiting, then kids get screwed when the commit does sign up (we run out of schollies). If we take the kids commit to heart and stop recruiting then we get screwed when he backs out. They just need to make the commit binding and it simplifies it all. Probably wont happen any time soon (recruiting new$ is a huge $$$$$ busine$$ now), but it should.

So what happens....

when a kids signs early before his Sr year of football, then blows up his knee or has another career ending injury before he enrolls in school? Things could get really messy really quickly.

not too realistic. How about we make verbal commitments on getting loans from banks the same as signing for it. Let's just do that. It'll fix everything.
TD.
