[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will the new rule regarding D-1 recruitment affect D-3 recruiting?[/quote]

Not one bit. This is a rule isolated to D1 coaches. D3 schools don't dispense athletic grant-in-aid scholarship money. In theory that places them in a sanctuary away from the targeted curbing of D1 coaches inducing kids w/ early scholarship 'verbals' which were promises, not commitments. In the morass of this one wonders to what extent coaches really honor these verbal promises. For example, Starsia was notorious for giving 'guidance' on a scholarship number, then later telling an early recruit his deal was a meal plan & not 1/2 tuition. Did he keep his promises? If he didn't dump a recruit that hadn't developed (& many of his early recruits didn't), then taken literally he did. But offering a meal plan or books when the kid is a rising senior is little more than ego preservation for the parents/kids to keep telling anyone who will listen all about a scholarship. To each their own.

Pushing this further out allows for a better evaluation with less delta at the end in terms of the disappointments. It also helps cut down on mistakes. More than 75% of early recruits don't pan out. Those numbers are brutal for coaches trying to stay employed at these programs. The rule does indeed to a lot to save them from themselves. [/quote]
