***Just a note. Although coaches have contact limits, players can call coaches anytime they want to.***

DEFINITIONS
Contact Period — It's permissible for authorized athletic department staff members to make in-person and off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations. College coaches are allowed to visit recruits off–campus (at their high school or home). Coaches can make only one visit per week to individual recruits and are permitted to make one phone call per week to a recruit during this period.

Quiet Period — Recruits can visit with college coaches but only at those college campuses. Also, during the month of September, October or November coaches are permitted to make one in-person off-campus visit to a recruit (at their high schools or at an athletic event) (colleges are allowed a total of 42 days of evaluation time during this period).

Dead Period — Coaches are not permitted to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off-campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by recruits or to make phone calls to recruits.

Evaluation Period — It's permissible for authorized athletics department staff to be involved in off-campus activities to assess academic qualifications and playing abilities. No in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts with a prospect are permitted during these evaluations: the college coaches are only allowed to attend athletic events and/or the prospect's school and talk to the high school coaches and school administrators but they are not allowed to speak to the recuit during one of thes visits except to say "hello." Colleges are allowed a total of approximatley 168 days each year to conduct evaluations for all of their prospective recruits.

Thanks Payton for the clarifications on the dates.

Thanks also for the current recruiting information you provide and summarize.
 
Nice work Payton, as usual!! I was wondering if any of the recruits' moms are single and or look like Johnny Manziel's mom? If your going to do some scouting why not do some "scouting".

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA released a package of proposals Friday that would change the recruiting calendar, lift restrictions on how and how often coaches can contact recruits and allow athletes to accept more money for participating in non-scholastic events.
All the proposals are expected to be voted on Jan. 19 at the NCAA's annual convention near Dallas. If approved, they could take effect Aug. 1.
It was the first detailed glimpse into how the NCAA intends to rewrite its massive rulebook and Jim Barker, chairman of the NCAA rules committee working on the plan, said the goal is "smarter rules and tougher enforcement."
If the package is approved, the overall result would provide coaches with more leeway in recruiting. The hope is that athletes will build more meaningful relationships with their coaches, and they will get more opportunities to showcase their skills in front of college and pro scouts.
One key recommendation would create a uniform recruiting calendar for all sports and allow coaches to begin contacting potential recruits after July 1 of their sophomore year, though coaches would still have to abide by the no-contact periods.
"The rules group believes that the uniform recruiting date will create significant ease of administration on campus, make the rules more understandable and allow for better recruiting decisions from both the coach and prospective student-athlete," said Barker, the Clemson president.
Those were the goals NCAA president Mark Emmert outlined more than a year ago when he backed the move to shrink the rulebook following a year of major college scandals that included stripping a national champion of its title, a Heisman Trophy winner giving back his trophy, criminal allegations and the accusation that another Heisman winner's father was peddling his son's services.
In the wake of so much turmoil, Emmert held a presidential retreat in August 2011 to acknowledge that the governing body needed to focus more on enforcing the rules that go to heart of college sports -- fair play, ethical behavior and tough penalties that dissuade coaches from considering cost-benefit analyses when making decisions about playing by the rules.
Some rules, Emmert acknowledged are simply unenforceable or so narrow they consume too much time and effort at the institution level and the NCAA level.
That's one reason another proposal would allow coaches to reach out players through any communication mode with no limitation on the number of contacts. College basketball coaches were given that ability in June, and now the working group Barker has led wants to extend those privileges to all sports.
Other proposals would allow:
• Schools to provide normal expenses, including travel expenses, for athletes representing the school at events such as goodwill tours and media appearances;
• Athletes to receive expenses and "reasonable benefits" associated with practices and competition with national teams, including tryouts;
• Amateur teams or event sponsors to award money beyond an athlete's expenses based on the performance of that athlete or team in all sorts, not just tennis;
• Schools, conferences or the NCAA to pay for medical expenses and any related expenses for the athlete.
Barker acknowledged this is only the first phase of recommendations. The working group is expected to focus next on financial aid, playing and practice season rules.
 
This is a poor attempt by the NCAA to appease the people that believe scholarship athletes in Football & Basketball should actually get a piece of the multi-billion dollar pie that many of the the NCAA Presidents & Administrators are gorging themselves on.

Personally, I am in complete agreement with Steve Spurrier, who says he would have no problem sharing a portion of his compensation with the athletes that help him pay his Mortgage, Country Club Memberships & etc!

Bottom Line is that it's ALL about the Bottom Line in College Sports, now...It's nothing personal. It's all about doing good business.

BTW guys - as fans/boosters keep in mind there are rules about contact with these players as well. Something as simple as sending a tweet or writing on a recruits facebook wall telling them "congrats" after they've given a verbal OR written commitment to the Griz is an NCAA violation.

Which doesn't seem to be enforceable. Just one example: Jaleel Hytchye, a highly recruited high school DB, recently tweeted his final three schools. He was immediately innundated with tweet responses from fans of those three schools, begging him to come to their university. I can't imagine the NCAA is going to take action against all three schools because of those fans. But then, who knows what the NCAA will do.

Since he has now committed to Kentucky, according to rivals, some spurned fan from his other potential suitors is going to tweet things to get him in trouble, like:

"Come to Lexington. We have a job specifically for you at the car warsh making $1000 per hour. You only need to show up for 1 hour per week."

If they enforced that, every major college program in the country would be in violation, every single year (they would be in violation every single DAY in reality). The big name recruits are rockstars amoungst fans before they even step on campus. Example, Laquan Treadwell, one of the nations top receivers, is trending on twitter right now after he committed to Ole Miss today. There are hundreds of congratulations tweets sent to his account, just like there always is for every big name recruit when they commit.
 
Payton, thanks for all the hard work and updates. it's got to be a labor of love.

I've been counting it down on my fingers for the last couple of weeks.
