More than two-thirds of coaches believe recruiting calendar changes will make recruiting ‘worse’

The fellas over at CBS Sports are in the midst of their annual Candid Coaches series, and today’s question involves the new recruiting calendar that was implemented earlier this month.

You can read all about the changes here.

What I want to touch on are the results of the survey conducted by CBS.

Because it’s striking.

Roughly two-thirds of the coaches that were polled believe that the changes will make the recruiting process worse for both coaches and prospects. Right around 30 percent said that they think the process will more or less be the same. And those that believe it will be better? Just 3 percent believe that the changes will make the recruiting process better for coaches, and only 2 percent believe it will be better for the prospects themselves.

I really don’t have all that much more to add.

When your polling numbers are this hideous, there really isn’t much more to say.
