Some interesting changes here. Now non-coach personnel can recruit, and coaches are allowed unlimited texts and social media messages to recruits.

I think this just helps us because of the staffs work ethic. From what i hear the old staff wasn't really out there recruiting as much as this staff seems to be. I think this staff will strive under these rules.

I like the changes.... But the high profile players are going to get stalked to death.... Unlimited texting.... days of the burn phone are long gone....

I've read that football coaches everywhere are against this because of the time they are already putting in.
I wonder how this will play out for recruits, now.

Yeah, this could be a big drag on coaches' time. This pretty much will require coaches to do a bit more work in recruiting.
