per the AP:
The personal touch that helps coaches sell their programs to blue-chip prospects is missing this year.
Restrictions brought about by the pandemic prevent face-to-face communication between players and coaches. Staffs can't visit high schools. Plenty of states didn't even play high school football.
"It's just weird," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said.
It all creates uncertainty as high school seniors finalize their college selections during the early signing period, which begins Wednesday. Many signings will bond a player and coach who haven't yet spent time in the same room.
"Almost half of our players that are going to sign, we haven't met face to face or shook hands," Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said.
