2022 Recruiting Thread- Pinned at top of board?

I've never enjoyed the single recruiting thread pinned at the top of the board on other sites. There's so much information during a recruiting cycle and after a point those threads balloon up to be hundreds of pages long. I liked the monthly swim lanes diary post that used to appear a couple years back which gave a nice summary of who Michigan is pursuing and how our prospects are. But that seems to be only relevant near the end of the cycle

I'm not a fan of this idea as I think it will make it harder to catch the news. This would end up being a 5000 page thread in a week. You'd have to be following it constantly to have a hope of catching the real info in between all of the snark and jokes etc. If you kept the page open all day and updated every 5 minutes, it would work well, but for those of us who check in once or twice a day, it is much easier to scan the message board headlines on the right banner to see if there is any news worth reading and then dive into the snark, jokes etc. if we so choose. Scrolling through pages of posts hoping to to find one post with actual information does not sound like fun to me.

No thanks. A lot of us will occasionally check the side tab to see, briefly, if there is any news. A sticky thread makes less room for actual news while simultaneously forcing people who are interested in the news to click and scroll to find out if there is any actual news.

In other words, it will be bad both for people who don't want to know about every offer (it's not like it's that difficult to let the threads scroll their way down as they become outdated) and those who *do* want to know about every offer. 

No permathread, please. 

A recruiting sub-board would probably be more helpful than a sticky post. Still get individual threads but they're all organized together. 

Single threads are terrible because you have to continuously check the end of the comments for news. I'd prefer if people posted a new recruiting thread when we get multiple high confidence crystal balls for targets or there's a substantial piece of news.

Your post is also confusing because you seem uneducated on recruiting, but also seemingly want to make it harder to follow recruiting news?

Eleven Warriors does this and it makes the site even more unbearable. I think a sub section just for recruiting topics would be good though.  

That would be a little redundant. What would go in such a thread? Daily crystal ball updates? Offers? Commits? Things are fine the way they are. If anything major happens Brian or Seth puts it on the main page. 

I wouldn't mind latest posted topics jumping to the top of the page so important threads don't get buried. 

There's no such thing as a bad idea except this one.

The real answer is that this site doesn't really follow the day to day of recruiting. Maize N Brew is another free site that covers recruiting in much more detail, with twice weekly recap posts and extra posts as required. If you are interested in the horse race, I suggest going there, getting on Twitter, or subscribing to 247 or Rivals. This site is better for bigger recruiting updates, larger picture views of Michigan's recruiting approach, and detailed looks at prospects through live evaluations and film watch for commits and signees. 

The layout/design of how replies show in these threads aren’t ideal, especially for a single thread. 

I’d like to see a weekly South Park episode. That had me giggling out loud. 

No thanks. I'd just rather see new recruiting threads posted on the message board. Long threads with a bunch old info in it would not be useful for me.

Not a fan, for people who come often having to scroll through a huge thread to find new comments can be a pain.
