This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

these statements are so true and IMO will impact recruiting by jt

for at least the next 18 months:

"After Notre Dame offered Johnson, the pandemic hardly deterred him from reaching a decision. But missing out on exposure opportunities made garnering offers and improving his spot in the recruiting rankings more difficult.

There were no in-person evaluations. There were no recruiting camps. There were no track meets to help verify speed."

Class of 21 and class of 22 kids are going to have a much, much harder time getting noticed. Camps might not even start back up this summer. Lots of kids will be signing LOI's without even being on an official visit. The NCAA has provided absolutely no guidance here whatsoever, only extending a dead period and hoping that this whole thing works itself out.
