SEC Recruitniks
I'm sure many, if not all, of you have seen that the B1G is doing tons of these satellite camps now to try and sway a couple of fish to swim north to play football.
My solution is to allow kids to go on official visits during their junior year, and maybe up the # from 5 to 10 or so. This way, if a kid is interested in checking out USCw, or Stanford, or Ohio State, or a kid from Jersey wants to check out the SEC/ACC they have many more opportunities, and can do it from an earlier time period. Recruiting is done so early now, with kids developing relationships during their junior year much more often now, that I think this could help alleviate some of the issues coming up now, and effectively get rid of these satellite camps as well.
Agree/Disagree?
Updated OP: Commissioner of the B1G Jim Delany took a not so subtle shot at the SEC in regards to oversigning, greyshirting and other recruiting manners when he spoke about satellite camps:

I think a good power play by Delany. Obviously the camps are not "completely equal" so he is trying to get the NCAA to change the entire recruiting process

Officials should definitely be allowed earlier. I don't think 10 is the number, but maybe 7.
If you allow for earlier officials, it naturally follows that there should be an early signing period.
The early signing period is not going to end all of the foolishness, but it allows kids to opt out of the foolishness early if they want to. And takes a little of the stress off the assistant coaches that are seemingly just being run into the ground by this whole process.

Just let everyone do satellite camps. I would love to see our coaches in Cali or Ohio.

I was thinking 10 because if you're going to allow visits from Junior year on, just double the number since you are doubling the years.
I think that now, if a kid really wants to "explore the west coast" or "get down south" and he isn't located there, he doesn't want to use 3 of his visits on one school to really see if that is the place for him. He wants to use 1 visit on 5 different schools. If you have more visits, you have the potential for more visits per school, like go see 7 schools total, then the ones you like you can give a 2nd or 3rd visit to

If the SEC could do this, the NCAA would have shut it down with the quickness. Guaranteed.

Fun fact: tOSU has signed four more players than Alabama since 2012 (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). Why does the B1G allow tOSU to oversign so much?

OSU was dealing with scholarship restrictions too
Edit: If you look at OSU's personnel losses, like 9 of them were LBers, with a lot of injuries. If OSU was really going to oversign and prcoess, they wouldn't do it at LB, since that position was extremely weak in 2012 and 2013. And OSU signs more with Meyer than they ever did with Tressel for sure

I have no problem with oversigning. It is just being realistic. Not every freshman in outside of the football program will graduate, and it is the same with football players. Some won't qualify from the get go, others may find themselves buried on the depth chart and want to transfer, while others may get in trouble off the field. You also have to take into account JUCOs and three-and-dones.
I highly doubt Saban is kicking off players who want to stay and are doing what they are supposed to do. We've had several guys go through the program without contributing much on the field.

The oversigning shite gave other schools a change
