If the NCAA ever punishes anyone for recruiting photos it'll be a complete joke

seriously. I know its a total cliche to say but the NCAA is just the biggest joke.

I was at the practice this weekend and someone asked Pike about Dylan - now, Pike of course did the right thing and didnt answer the question saying something like "we cant talk about those things" - but the thought occured to me at the time how silly it is that Pike cant comment on a recruit. just a silly requirement just like this no photo thing.

in the mean time - the NCAA is a complete free agency now with the transfer rules and then you have NIL with no (or virtually no) rules. total wild west.

yet the NCAA has put the hammer down on photographs
. LOL

total joke

He's a LI native who went to Cushing Academy in Boston (NEPSAC) and played for Expressions Elite AAU - same program as Gavin. Assuming he'll switch AAU programs

The coaches not being able to comment on recruits makes things worse for recruits

A coach can tell 5 different high school kids they are his #1, top recruit and nobody knows. He can tell kids they'll play right away, positions they'll play, how many shots they'll get etc - and it can all be lies. Make all that stuff transparent and it helps the players.

I actually think this hurts Pike because I doubt he does this, but I'm sure many others do
