June 15th for Division 2 schools

Mizzoubaseball, I was just coming to the website to post info about the new Division II rules effective tomorrow, but you beat me to it!

Division II coaches in all sports will now be allowed - starting tomorrow - to call, text, or e-mail prospects who will be entering their JUNIOR year of high school this Fall. In addition, those calls, texts, and e-mails can be unlimited. The same is true of off-campus contacts. No limit for Div. II coaches on the number of contacts, as long as they take place during a permissible contact period.

This is quite a change for Div. II, as the rules that have been in place allowed coaches to start e-mailing prospects on Sept. 1 of the junior year of high school, and phone calls were not allowed until the June 15 prior to senior year, and then only once per week. (And texting was not permitted at all.) So, a few months earlier on e-mails, and a full year earlier on phone calls and off-campus contacts.

For those who may be interested in receiving the monthly recruiting calendars in all sports for Div. I and II, you can sign up (at no cost) on our website at www.informedathlete.com.

Division 2 baseball is not of lower quality than Division 1. Coming from experience, on many occasions my Division 2 school played Division 1 schools from up north and we slaughtered them.

The difference is not skill, its simply school size.

Come on down south and play some of our D1 schools!

I don't think in college it's just school size. Many private schools with 3000 students are D1 on the West Coast. Those schools compete with D1's of similar size in conference, think WCC but also play large schools of 30k.

Hey, son got a call today. We were not aware of their head start date.
