I keep reading about sports programs being eliminated and budgets being slashed. Covid clearly will impact how recruiting will be going forward. What are your thoughts about how things will change?
My thoughts:
I think you’ll see more regional recruiting and less attendance at national showcases that require coaches to travel coast to coast.
Elimination of coaching staff. You’re going to see hiring freezes on support staff and multiple asst. coaches making it harder for smaller programs to recruit.
I expect colleges to run a lot lore ID camps to fundraise. I think ADs will require programs to do a lot more fundraising to keep low performing programs from being eliminated.
More emphasis on recruiting players with strong academics to offset lower athletic scholarship offers.
