I agree w/Roadkings take that this is a ONE TIME windfall for programs 60 - 298quote:by O44: Where I previously would have brough in "my guys" and developed them...I suddenly have become a great deal selective when choosing/recruting freshmen. The only freshman I am likley to recruit are those who are very likley to perform in class and absolutey certain to have an immediate/now impact on the field (I no longer have the luxury to allow players to develop, academically, or athletically)...I make any mistakes recruiting frosh either on the field or in the clasroom and I pay an exaggerated price. He stays I have likley locked up 4 years worth of baseball $, he leaves I get a ding on my graduation rates. Why take the risk
O44 makes valid points ONLY regarding the minority of DI programs who traditionaly DID stockpile/over-recruit ...
but .. the majority DID NOT cattle call recruit,
and they will continue "business as usual" developing players the same way they have for yrs
