We can add another coach. I’ve been saying this all summer, but I don’t think Harding is here too much longer. I think he jumps to the NFL, especially if he has a couple more guys drafted. Because of this, I’d hire another OL coach for Harding to groom. Have Harding do Tackles and hire a coach to coach Centers/Guards. Find another ace recruiter like Harding.
Second, the early signing day only helps Utah. Remember Stovall, Masina, Tufele? Probably all Utes if there is an early signing day. This takes a lot of power away from the big dogs and their late season poaching. It also gives players some leverage with those schools as well.
Kids can say, “Look I’m signing in December.” And if USC drops them, they can go find another school before Feb. Also, it may force USC to take a kid or two they aren’t sure on, instead of dropping them late and swooping in two weeks before signing day with an offer (Tufele, Stovall).
Finally, the “F-BYUP Rule”. No more hiring coaches/family members of recruits for two years. Lots of teams do this, but FBYU-P has mastered this under Kalani.
Funny, a rule that was considered but not passed was not allowing coaches to offer kids a scholarship until the JR year. That would destoy all of Kalani’s recruiting “prowless”. lol.
