Recruiting and the College Football Playoff

[Ldlane]

With the mindset of kids these days, how will the CFP affect recruiting for teams that aren't in the Playoff?

I don’t know about the kids, but the coaches probably have a little easier.
Instead of prepping for SECCG CNS and staff can focus this week on recruiting. When the early signing period rolls around, they’re prepping for the NotsoPremier Bowl instead of a CFP game. CNS has said before how the playoff puts you at a disadvantage.
Lose the semi, immediately go into full time finish up the class mode. Win the semi, split your time again.

Hey, my first new post! I would imagine that CNS and the staff are taking advantage of every angle they can since we have unwanted and unexpected free time. They don't have to worry about anything but recruiting.

With the early signing period in home visits by CNS and key recruiters would seem to be ultra important to ensure a commit signs the line on the 18th....I would think playing in the conference championship and prepping for an all important playoff game would make it much more difficult.

LSU and Ga are surely going to exploit it to the fullest.

LOL - What would they say? Alabama missed the CFP for the first time in its history because they lost 2 games by a total of 8 points? No recruit considering Alabama is going to give a statement like that any credence. Any who do - well, frankly, they probably were not going to pick Alabama anyway.

IMO, negative recruiting only works if a player is looking for a reason not to pick a school. It doesn't sway guys who are seriously considering a school.

Well, if Jawja gets beat bad by LSWho and they are NOT in the CFP, maybe some of their RECRUITS will THINK about going elsewhere LIKE Bama.

I actually thought my DEAD period would start with a heart attack after the Barn game.

Just missing one season will probably not matter but if we miss again next season it could become an issue.

Spin it as hey we need you to come in and help. Look how many of our young guys are playing and go to the league in 3 years AND graduate.

This is the angle I would take with their mother. Recruit the mother and you'll get the kid.

How many times have they made the CFP?

If UGA loses to the #2 team in the nation I cannot see a recruit flipping his commitment just because UGA lost
