Contact with Coach prior to Sept 1st

Actually, a D1 coach (except service academies) can't have off-campus contact with a player until July 1 following the junior year. (13.1.1.1)  They can also initiate a phone call after July 1.   The rule you're thinking of is: After September 1 of the junior year, the coach/school may send recruiting material and/or have email contact.

3FG, Division I is changing the phone call rule in baseball and most (but not all) other sports. D1 coaches will now be allowed to call recruits beginning September 1 of the junior year of HS.

JLC, 3FG is correct about off-campus contacts, and the Sept. 1 date for e-mails and recruiting correspondence.

Are you sure? I believe there are new rules as of August 1st:

IMO, regardless of the rules...your son should focus on doing his job on the field in Cary and nothing more.  If a coach speaks to him, fine, respond.  Otherwise, stick to his own business.

Questions he may have can be handled by email or him calling them at their office or during an on-campus visit.  An event just isn't the right time, most of the time.

Thanks for the info everyone.  Just baseball, I see your point.  Good advice.

NoVA16, thanks for catching my typo.  I meant to say September 1, but my fingers were typing one thing while my brain was thinking another.  I've gone back and edited my earlier post. 

I referenced this rule change in the monthly newsletter which went out to our subscribers on Aug. 2.  The Division I and II recruiting calendars are sent out at the beginning of each month for the upcoming two months for anybody who may be interested in subscribing.
