Blog Entry: Recently the NCAA changed a few of the college basketball recruiting rules in an effort to build more meaningful relationships between high school prospects and college coaches. The NCAA is now allowing unlimited telephone calls and text messages and deregulating private messages on social networks after an athlete’s sophomore year in high school. Jim Haney, executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, says “Part of this package is intended to increase the voice of the college and the value of an education through the coaches.” The NCAA is looking at this move as a way to regulate third parties, like agents and street runners. A lot of college basketball recruiting is done during the summer months where AAU coaches and third parties have more of an influence on young high school athletes. This rule should help the college coaches build a better rapport with their potential recruits. There were a few other changes: Official visits can begin on Jan 1st of a recruit's junior year. Some contact will be allowed at a recruit's school during the prospect's junior year in conjuction with an evaluation. Stage, on-campus evaluations will be permitted on a recruiting visit.
