Some recruiting ideas

[MtnBuff]

Don't want to fill up a recruits thread with more unrelated stuff.

Some ideas though.
1. We all know that a recruit should commit to a school not a coach but we also know that is asking a lot from teenagers. Should kids who have signed with a school be given a free transfer if their head coach they signed with is fired within the first two years after they sign? This would mean ability to transfer to another school without sitting out or giving up a year.

2. On the balance should a school that changes coaches and loses a high number of kids to transfer out be given an allowance above the normal 25 recruits in a year to help compensate for that turnover. Maybe as an example a school that loses more than 5 kids to this type of transfer can get up to 5 extra recruits for that season?

3. Should some kind of allowance be made for kids who have a father or other close relative who is a coach (or assistant) who changes jobs? At this point I'm thinking I'd prefer we didn't recruit more kids who are related to our coaches but I can respect family ties.

I like all three of these ideas. Players need to be able to move around as freely as coaches do-If you're playing for a school like FSU or Arkansas right now, you should be allowed to look elsewhere without having to sitting out a year. Schools who make changes should be allowed to offset transfers as a result of them by taking more incoming freshmen. Three should be up to the school, though-let's say Chev (given his son's a walk on WR) leaves. If his kid wants to follow him, I don't have a problem with that, and RG doesn't seem like the type who would not allow that to happen. Had Chad Morris's son been the starting QB when his dad got fired at Arkansas, that's another issue.
