"Private" Electronic Correspondence in D1 Recruiting (Junior year)

Not 100% sure, but maybe they are referring to the fact that the School/Coach cannot state that you are a commit to the school until after your NLI is signed?  In other words, publicly say anything about the particular commit. They speak in generalities and not specifics about particular recruits without naming names...

Ryno is right....a coach can't say anything publicly about a kid until the NLI is signed.  They will often say things like "just got a big committment from a kid that will help make us better"....but can't give specifics until he's actually signed.  Kid can say whatever he wants.  He is free to tweet "Happy to say I've committed to play baseball at Big State U"....no rules against the kid going public....just the coach/school

They could have worded that better, but they're mainly trying to say that under the category of Electronic Correspondence, the coach's correspondence to you must be private. I think they added that last year in an effort to get a handle on Twitter, Instagram, Stapchat, etc. An example of a violation would be a D1 coach tweeting "@prospect We saw you at WWBA and would love to talk to you." Another example would be a public Facebook post to the student by the coach (I know, kids don't use Facebook).

Once you sign the NLI, the school can send you public electronic correspondence.

Agreed. Have a few D1s in Texas that once they get a commit head coach posts on twitter...see below  one is Texas, the other Texas A&M
