Anyone have any idea how this could effect the recruiting? I assume the spring games will be canceled for most schools.

I don’t care about the human toll... BK needs to shake as many hands needed to lock down a top 5 class.

This should help. We can practice 24/7 and nobody could know. I promise other places are.

The March 21st weekend was supposed to be a big recruiting weekend, but in general this is going to impact all schools with recruiting really pushed to the summer IMO.

From what I'm seeing at local high schools, it seems likely that people are looking at a 1 month shutdown as the "optimistic" situation with some places saying prepare to be shut down into June. Though technically they haven't canceled my season (yet), everyone expects that within the next week activities and travel will be restricted nationwide until there is a "peak."

Spring practice is cancelled. I would imagine recruiting will be affected as well

I would guess, just a guess, that this is going to negatively effect us more than most. We are very reliant on getting kids here early to help lock up OVs. I think schools with more local talent will also be effected, but they have proximity and ease to make up for their lost time.

We better get damn good at skypecalling and facetiming kids.

I'm already blaming Alabama for this Virus after reading your post. . GEEZ!

I worry this impacts us a lot more than others, as well. It was seemingly imperative we get some of these guys on campus soon and that won’t be happening. Hopefully we’re extremely active with communication during this period and can get guys to slow down decisions.

Huge disadvantage to ND, you know other schools will keep recruiting

Mike Frank had an update on ISD yesterday that made it seem like our coaches weren’t going to be doing anything in the short term. They’re unsure what they can and can’t do so nothing seemed like the answer.

So with recruiting supposed to be shut down, I see a lot of kids still getting offers from schools and committing

Regarding its expected content, Kelly said: “The Notre Dame minute will be a platform for us to share with you the inside operation of Notre Dame football on a day-to-day basis. We’ll bring you the talented staff members and support staff … exciting topics within our football program from nutrition to academics to the day-to-day operations we have in this building that makes this program run.”

This could be really cool...hope the content is relevant.
