Are coaches allowed to leave their campus?

this is true. And i beleive it is for 2 weeks. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

The dead period is during the November and April signing periods. I think it runs for a week. They cannot see any recruited players on or off campus.

I am sorry do not have this year's date check the NCAA website.

Check out
NCAA BYLAW, ARTICLE 13 Recruiting

Does anyone know why the NCAA instituted quiet periods and dead periods? What is their purpose?

Basically it was done to give the coaches/recruiters a break. The dates reflect the time periods when student athlete arrive on campus, the start of fall practice, the early signing period, holidays and the national convention. Keep in mind that coaches are invited to hundreds of showcases, tournaments and camps. Their schedule can be overwhelming at times.

I noticed this is permissible during the Dead Period, but how about the Quiet Period?

Coaches may write or call during the quiet period. (Confirmed via another thread I started and checking the brochure NCAA Guidelines for the College Bound Student Athlete).

Everyone should download a copy of the NCAA Guidelines for the College Bound Student Athlete. It will clarify many of your questions about the recruiting process. You can find it here:

The Quiet Period this year runs from 11-16-07 to 2-28-08.
The significance is that D1 coaches cannot be off camopus doing scouting/evaluation or recruiting.

However college coaches seem to be allowed to participate as “instructors” in camps that are off campus during the quiet period. I'm sure there is no scouting/evaluation or recruiting happening during those camps

One of the best things my son did as a sophomore and junior was to attend a camp series that a local baseball academy puts on at their indoor facility. Over 30 D1 schools attended over a 4 week period. No official recruiting was going on however I do think quite a few names were jotted down to be contacted after the dead period was over.

I agree about having a copy available about the student's guide to recruiting.

Jerseydad,
Dead period means dead, D1 coaches can't have any face to face contact with recruits. Do coaches have camps during that period?

TPM,

My reply to rbianz post was meant to be regarding the Quiet period, not the Dead period. Sorry about that. I'll go back and edit it.

So am I to understand that any showcases that occur during the quiet period cannot be attended by D1 coaches. Two of PG's National Underclass showcases are during that time! I can't imagine they would put on such high level showcases if coaches couldn't attend. Can someone clarify? Jerry?
