The coronavirus pandemic has altered the college football season and recruiting during the 2020 calendar year.
Zoom meetings, press conferences and virtual recruiting have taken over this year throughout the sport.
The inability of going out on the recruiting trail for home and school visits have allowed for coaches to spend more time with their current team.
Second-year Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze met with media Wednesday in preparation for its Cure Bowl matchup with Coastal Carolina.
Freeze mentioned he would prefer to keep virtual recruiting going forward when the pandemic concludes.
“This probably won’t be real popular with a lot of college coaches, but I enjoy recruiting from here and not going away from home,” Freeze said. “I think it’s real possible that we could really change the recruiting calendar to where you may not have to go out as much, but that is just my preference.
“I like our coaches being here with our current kids. I don’t think we spend enough time with our current teams and our current schedule. We are always running around trying to get the next guys and we could be really investing into the lives of our kids a little more.”
