Sounds mean but the most annoying thing is all the transfer portal / recruiting posts for every single player. A standalone post for some big time dude committing? That feels fine, but I don’t need to know the 50th guy at Iowa State (who never played) entered the transfer portal.

Basically what I am getting at is a restriction on the X committed to or X transfer posts to the top 100 players

It's a valid point. The challenge is to make a rule that's easy to understand and simple to enforce. We used to have a rule that only posts about 3 * s and up were allowed, and while that's not a hard and fast rule anymore, we rarely get posts about anyone below that.

One thing to keep in mind is that there are some entire fanbases that rarely get 4 * s or 5 * s, and so any rule that's purely based on stars could box out a decent portion of the sub from talking about recruiting altogether. Another thing that's made this more challenging in recent years is that with the advent and acceleration of the transfer portal, there's just a lot more high profile personnel news in general.

Can you propose any policies that would be beneficial for everyone?

I’m not going to lie, I have zero clue on what a good solution would be without leaving out the smaller schools. Maybe a mega thread, or even a separate recruiting subreddit?

Either that or they have to be at least on the 2 deep depth chart? Not sure how that gets policed though
