A D3 question for you folks. My son, a 2017, was recently contacted via email by a D3 in Maryland. He received an email from admissions, an application from admissions and an email (passing on info about their fall and camp - not specifically to my son) from the coaches mentioning an upcoming camp. From what I know, their assistant coach/recruiting coordinator was at a recent and local D1 camp that my son attended.
After all of that background... my question is, am I correct that D3's are permitted to email student/athletes as early as freshman year? Please understand that I am not under the impression that they are "contacting" my son. After all, he should probably get at least one marking period in and play one high school game before that happens.
This is just a procedural question so that we'll have this type of info for down the road.
Thanks,
