there is nothing 'perpetuating' about declaring b4 recruiting starts, and letting every team fill openings and get recruiting resources in an equal system. It is the most simple and straightforward fix to this problem.
That is perpetuating, because it is removing the recruiting consequence of an early entry. If they declare early, I get the prestige bump and the ultra-valuable scholarship for both sessions.
If there is a problem, it is a problem of expectation. The most simple and straightforward "fix" is for the coach to plan ahead and tailor his/her recruiting strategy to taste for risk.
we simply do not agree on this, I could make the same case that you have some expectation that excellence should carry some punitive consequences, which seems misguided, vs those who simply want all openings to be treated the same. A ?, do you feel the game should be real life? I mean, we agree that Kentucky is able to recruit into EE's pretty well, Duke too, most schools can, without having to fear Mt St Mary might be 'courtting' the top ranked PG since he was in 8th grade. Right?
Again, it is completely straightforward, let the EE's declare b4 recruiting starts, and place everyone on an even playing field, for the level of achievement the particular team has attained.
Anyhow, I am amazed that the game has come to this, it almost is funny, if not actually taking place, in an the inmates are running the asylum sort of way:
