>>The name is a bit of a misnomer. Contrary to what many believe, it does not mean that there is no contact allowed between coaches and prospects. It simply means that there are no campus visits - official or unofficial - allowed by players. It also means that college coaches cannot make off-campus visits to practices or the like. Neither official visits, where a school can host a prospect for up to 48 hours and pay for his and his family's expenses, as well as unofficial visits, where a prospect pays his own way to campus to simply visit with the coaches, are allowed. Basically, there can be no in-person contact betwen players and coaches. Even if a recruit happens to show up at a school, he cannot meet with any of the staff.


What is still allowed during a dead period is the same amount of phone calls, texts and social media messages that were allowed prior to it. Coaches may still initiate contact via those mediums, up to the allowed limit, and players are free to initiate as much contact as they like. So, if a recruit says he talked to a coach from your rival school during this dead period, it does not mean that any rules were broken.<<

Thanks. Guess you're not just a "casual fan".
