    Unlimited official visits for recruits will not make college football worse. Unlimited visits changes things. The recruiters and staff will need to adjust to the new environment.

     

    Excellence will require keen pre-visit player evaluations, visit involvement of more staff members, effective time management, and prioritization of tasks. 
     

    Accurate assessments of the character, motivations, goals, influencers, and monitoring changes throughout the recruiting cycle are more important than ever with more visits possible.
     

    Those who will benefit most with the increased visits will be those who understand the character and motivations of the prospect before offering an official visit with high confidence the prospect will be signed. Also, the programs that identify weakness and stop investing time and resources into recruits with low probabilities of adding value to the program.

     

    The number of official visits will vary from year to year depending the needs of the team and the quality of the class. It is important that the coach’s time spent on visitors is reasonable and productive.
     

    Winnowing the wheat from the chaff will be more important than ever in recruiting. In business this process is known as qualifying the prospect.  If doubts cannot be satisfied and too many questions remain, then it is better to bail out and move on rather than committing more time and resources to the relationship.

    Former Oregon women's softball coach, Mike White, now the Head Coach at Texas  was ejected from a game last month in the BIG12 conference tournament during a game against Oklahoma State.

     

    White, before leaving the playing field, raised his arm and roundly saluted the fans and officials giving them an obscene gesture (the bird). White was reprimanded by the league office.

     

    The episode was replayed this afternoon by ESPN during its telecast of the Texas versus OK State game as White was coaching Texas.

    The Ducks are loaded when it comes to President Schill, AD Mullens and staff, boosters, and the football operations and coaching staff. UO Football is commited to winning.

     

    None of us knows how the new era of NIL, the transfer portal and college football alignments and supervision will play out over the coming years. Right now recruiting, especially QB recruiting of 5-star talent, is wide open. NIL money will likely influence the final destination of some top QB's.

     

    I am comfortable now that the UO football leadership will lead the nation as an elite program by making the necessary adjustments to recruit the talent needed to win at the elite level. 

     

    It is not clear exactly what that will take as the environment is dynamic and in flux. Factors external to the team such as conference alignments, media contracts with the resulting income, and the goverance of college football play into the futures of QB recruiting and NIL.

     

    One sure thing is that the Supreme Court's decision opening the compensation of NCAA athletes results in long-term changes resembling the compensation of professional athletes. The direction has been set.

     

    How this plays out is yet to be seen.

    Former Ducks golfer Aaron Wise finished in second place at the PGA's Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village hosted by Jack Nicholas. 

     

    Wise rallied within two on the back nine before Billy Horschel eagled to seal the deal.

     

    Wise collected $1.3M for his finish of (-9).

    Wholesale change is unavoidable in college athletics. The Fighting Irish athletic director thinks a total realignment of Division I is coming with it.

    I made a long drive today while listening to hours of ESPNU on Sirius.

     

    I wish I could credit the speakers, but I cannot remember their names. Some things I remember them saying are:

     

    - All football fans should celebrate today. "I feel like we should all be like The Munchkins - running around today singing Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.

     

    - College football is undoutedly moving to a premier league and new structures for the rest. They talked about how such an arrangement would effect programs and fans at schools like Memphis that will be left out of the top tier. Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick said this week that a break up and restructuring of Division I "is inevitable".

     

    - In another segment it was suggested that two names being tossed around to replace Emmert are Jack Swarbrick or Greg Sankey. I cannot fathom either of them being interested in the position.

     

    Can you imagine Greg Sankey coordinating rules revisions of college football? The PAC12 would fare well under Sankey.
