All eyes are on the remaining targets now as All-American games approach and National Signing Day gets even closer.
Dead Period Begins
Coaches will no longer be able to make in-person contact with recruits starting Monday, December 12th until January 12th. Recruits can still communicate over the phone or text message, but in-person visits, both on and off campus, are prohibited. Many targets are scheduled to announce their commitments over the next month, but coaches will have to rely on electronic communication to make the final push in their recruiting efforts.
