Westbrook

[stamfordhusky]

We are in a recruiting shutdown "dead period". Geno can not contact Westbrook until 5/13 at the earliest.

Actually this week is much more restrictive than a "dead period". In a dead period, coaches can still call, email, and text players. What we have this week is a week-long "recruiting shutdown" - when no contact of any kind is permitted. Gives coaches a week to take a vacation without worrying about who is chasing their recruits.

We are in a recruiting blackout until 12 May. Geno cannot have contact with Evina until 13 May.

She can contact him or even go visit him. He just can't initiate contact

Does anyone truly believe EW will enroll at UConn?

How does anyone ever verify who contacts who first? Seems unenforceable.

Why wouldn’t she enrolll at UConn? Where do you think she’ll enroll?

Yes, and a lot of the folks that do believe Westbrook will end up as a Husky are over on VolNation.

The official cell phone used by Geno and all the staff is subject to monitoring by the NCAA.

Oregon or Oregon St. Maybe the land of the transfer S Carolina

As of now the only known visit by Westbrook was to UConn and with not much time to make a decision and get to school for summer classes, yes, I would say she will be at UConn. Now things can always change if she takes a visit.

I know it’s hard to keep up with everything on the BY. Last week I related that Westbrook was done with classes last week, was planning to spend a few days with a friend and was then heading back to OR, according to someone who appeared to know her and was posting on VolNation.

You’re right, it is hard to keep up. I try to do my best. Sorry I missed the classes are ending note. Thanks for posting.

I'm not sure that's correct.
The NCAA definition states:
A recruiting shutdown is a period of time when no form of recruiting (e.g., contacts, evaluations, official or unofficial visits, correspondence or making or receiving telephone calls) is permissible.

Why would any coach take a chance? the NCAA is so unpredictable. I imagine UCONN has already indicated interest or lack of interest, now Just wait until the recruit makes contact.

That would be true in a dead period, but it is not true in the twice-a-year recruiting shutdown, which we are in currently. Coaches can have no contact of any kind with recruits this week.

In cases involving the recruiting calendar, the NCAA is very predictable and the rules are very clear. No contact of ANY kind this week.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Not a scant of evidence she's visited any of those schools at this point.

 

[DEpup]

I would say it doesn't matter because I would bet the decision has already been made and all parties know it. It's now just about telling the other suitors and organizing the announcement.

The last refuge of scoundrels is enforcing bogus rules.

That's kind of silly. These recruiting rules were all proposed by the schools/coaches and were all approved by the schools in a vote. Not sure why it is bad to enforce clear-cut rules that the schools and coaches wanted.

Really ? A week of no contact? What does that do?
On second thought, if the kids wanted it I’m ok with it.

I was wrong about the visit but a recruit can call at any time

While the BY is waiting for Evina to announce her decision, here is something to pass the time.

The correct answer is, "Who are the UConn Huskies?"

Maybe, this can challenge the Yule Log ratings.
