LasVegasIrish Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My guess is this will help ND fans settle down around signing day since at least a few guys will be already signed. Should also help high academic universities like ND/Stanford etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This would hurt Stanford because a lot of their targets won't know that they have the grades until January. So a recruit would have to be very confident that they would pass Stanford's admissions. If they don't then a spot might fill up for their other options. then they are stuck with a school that they don't want to go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown_9999 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 "Limiting schools to signing 25 players per year, ending the practice of oversigning" Current limit is 28 Letters of Intent per year. This will slightly hurt SEC and other schools that recruit academically questionable prospects. No longer can a school sign up to three extra recruits expecting that some will not be able to enroll due to missing NCAA academic standards (or running afoul of the law). https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/columnist/george-schroeder/2017/04/14/what-ncaa-recruiting-rules-mean-college-football-signing-day/100479194/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys who don't know yet will simply wait like they usually do until the Feb signing day. I don't think spots will fill up any quicker than usual. Fans and coaches will simply have less stress knowing certain guys won't be leaving the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltssb Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I started a post about two years ago talking about certain rule changes that I heard on the radio that would benefit ND. The only problem is I caught the tale end of the convo. But I remember the hosts were saying how much this would benefit ND if these rules do come into effect. Now, I remember this is what they were talking about. Also to note, from the little I remember, you can't hire a kid's relative until two years into the program. That would be huge price to pay for some of these schools that already practice these rules. Just good news to me all the way around.

ObieKnobbe Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 The SECheating will still be ignored by the NCAA so I don't see this doing much for us. When the NCAA decides to crack down on the rampant cheating going on is when I will get my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big23Head Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 I agree with Sampson on this. ND getting kids to visit early would be huge in building the relationship and could help ND. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Today’s recruiting overhaul could benefit Notre Dame.
