Would hurt coaches that move to new teams, especially those that move up to d1.

if they move to a decent  team then maybe for the first season they might take a hit in recruting but it wont last forever.

WIS needs a lot of other things before it even thinks about in-season recruiting.

i agree however one day of "real recruiting" doesnt do this game justice.

I'd say that in season recruiting should be used only to find out if players are interested in your school (ie: searching for pulldowns).  Possible even to scout players but maybe with only a 5-10% recruiting effect that it normally has.  That way players wont be able to really jump ahead on recruiting but they'll be able to understand the field more appropriately.

WIS really needs to change recruiting. Besides the fact it is unrealistic, it would make the season that much more enjoyable with in season recruting.  I dont have any new suggestions that havent already been mention on the forums in the past. I just hope that if enough coaches want it to change from the way it is now that you will post a comment.
Maybe since we PAY to play, "they" might actualy listen to our suggestions instead of turning a blind eye to our wants for once.
what does eveyone think about changing recruting? Leave out the "its not fair" factor because everyone starts out with some form of disadvantage

What are the suggestions that have come before?  WIS does listen to us - there was a big push for impact freshman, so we have the current system where there are 20-30 superstars and a whole bunch of players who are pretty much interchangable.  While it was a popular idea, I think the way it was implemented has been a detriment to recruiting as a whole.  You have to be careful listening to the mob.

Maybe you should try pulldowns a little more. The wait for dropdown strat isn't that good w/o A+ prestige. Going for pulldowns also make recruiting more interesting.

This has been brought up before.  Those in favor if in-season recruiting like the idea of breathing more life into the season and dreaming of their next batch of recruits, and those opposed to it see no value in making such a change.

Here are just a couple of posts on the subject:
