RECRUITING TIPS - HOW MUCH DO RECRUITING TIMING RULES EFFECT ME?




HOW MUCH DO RECRUITING TIMING RULES EFFECT ME?

Not much.  There are all kinds of rules that vary in each sport and change almost every year.  They deal with quiet periods, and evaluation periods, and dead periods, and contact rules, and phone calls windows, etc.  The bottom line is that these rules are for the college coaches to follow.  They typically do not pertain to what a student athlete can do in the process.

If the NCAA doesn't allow a coach to contact a prospect until a certain time during Junior or Senior Year then how are scholarships being awarded to 8th graders?  Good question.  There are a number of ways this can legally happen.  It does happen, a lot.  When a recruit commits early it means they called the coach, they visited the campus, and they were involved in the right exposure opportunities to get in front of the coach, so the staff could evaluate them live.  That is how prepared athletes and proactive coaches can connect BEFORE they are even officially able to talk on the phone.  Don't get bogged down in these tedious rules that are for the coaches to follow, instead get bogged down in establishing recruiting relationships with college coaches as EARLY as possible!
