Can a college coach talk to a player if they come to their HS practice? If so, is it stil limited to 2011 players until the July 1 date?

Eric,
You should go to the NCAA site and download the recruiting guide, it will help you with the many questions you come here to ask, which can be found, but you need to take some responsibility to do your own homework.
Or do you just need to let us know that a coach is coming to see your player?

TPM, IMO you seem to come off quite hostile whenever there is a question on this site to which the answer may be available elsewhere. It's a pretty snobbish attitude to tell someone to "do your own homework", IMO, or question the motive for the post, implying the OP is trying to brag. Seemingly this type of "don't bother us with your silly questions" approach is practiced by quite a few "old timers" (by no means all of them). I just think it is belittling to tell someone who simply seeks advice as to a topic he or she is unsure of. After all, isn't that what this Board is for???

Respectfully disagree and I support TPM on this one. The board is not for veiled announcements or manipulation by ego-driven parents.
I agree CD. But TPM is simply making an assumption without any facts to support it. That's the problem. Perhaps Eric simply feels more comfortable getting feedback from experienced people. To just assume Eric is bragging is unfair and uncalled for.
No bragging guys for cryin out loud dont ya think I would annouce the college if so.
Just about fed up with asking a single thing.

Why is it that some parents can manage to find many multiple bb sites, but can't find the site (which has been repeatedly posted here over the years) for these type of questions? You may not understand that but I don't expect that you or others may.
Let me tell you something 2013 Dad, I have spent years helping people here, offering advice and support. After a while one can pretty much tell what's going on with certain parents, how they don't want to come off as bragging so they use other methods.
Eric G has been around for a long time, he is not a new webster.
I may be wrong but I doubt it very much.
Not everyone has the luxury of such great recruiting experiences, sometimes it's just better to fly under the radar, then let me know when he accepts the offer.
I mean seriously guys, there are times while at work I may not have time to "research" and have a random question that I want to throw out there and I get ripped for it.
I would just as soon you not even open the thread up then to react the way some of you do.
I could care less if it gets 1000 hits and no comments, no sweat.
But to assume I am bragging is ludicrous(sp?)

Eric,
Do you have the answer to every question your kids ask, or do you encourage them to look up the answer and educate themselves on the subject?
You as well as others have been directed to the NCAA site on many occassions, however, you could use google and do a search, sometimes you just have to type in the question.
Can a college coach talk to a player if he comes to visit him at a game. Depends on what division, what time of year, etc. Coach May made a great post in another topic, sometimes this process is about personal responsibility.
However, I really don't beleive you come here for answers, you just come here to give updates on your sons recruiting process.
I simply typed in the question you asked, I found the answer (though I knew it), you might want to try to do some research on your own, perhaps not at work if you are busy. I am sure that you didn't need to have that answer ASAP!?!
It's just gotten to be old.

One of the folks we all respect when it comes to the NCAA rule book is 3FG.
One 3/2/11, he seems to have addressed nearly an identical question and provided the Rule:
http://hsbaseballweb.com/eve/f...6003481/m/7217065995
If this was a question which arose at work, it certainly seems like the answer was not urgent. The answer was available within a 30 to 60 second search.
Seems like the answer could have been found as fast or faster than the time it took to post.

My opinion sides with TPM on this. When it comes to my son, I need to take the time to research the issue. The NCAA site has plenty of good information.

I forgot about that infielddad.
You make a good point, sometimes yo can post a question and wait HOURS for the answer. It only takes a few seconds to search.
Just a good example of those that really come to learn (by taking time to read posts by others) and those that come for an agenda.
JMO.

Use the search function. It is your friend.
TPM, go ahead and put in quotes my attempts to give updates on my sons recruiting process, I would appreciate the mud in my face maybe it will wisen me up.
I apologize for not looking up guys.....not apologizing for any agenda laden tirade that I'm accused of though.

I wouldn't apologize either. If people don't want to help, they shouldn't post anything and let those who are willing to do so. The search function isn't always that friendly and sometimes I don't know the best words to use to search by to get the results I'm seeking.
BTW, my 2012 son hit 87mph on the gun at his tryouts, a new personal best! Woot!

That's fair, just come out and say it, instead of setting up a smoke screen.
Dont quite get ya TPM, smoke screen? Are you alluding to me or Strike3?
My 2013 son hit 85mph and is pitching Var's line up.
Now thats smoke!
TPM has jumped me before, But has also type things that helped me Hope she keeps it up, when she feels like helping help when she feels like we are wasting space tell us its all good..
One time my topic said UGA bla bla bla, and I put a link to a great site not just about UGA ,
We win some we lose some.
now Can't we all just get along!

Great news, however if everyone posted the schedule of their fav D1 team we'd be in trouble.

I think for the most part, everyone gets along here. I can disagree with folks and have no hard feelings. Opinions are like (insert body orifice here), and they all stink.
