When Can Coaches Contact my 2017

You're in a good spot. It will be next August 1. However, you can call/email/text them all you want right now. Just know that if they aren't there to answer the phone, they can't return your call and they can't email back much more than a camp invite.

I thought coaches could email and DM over Twitter as of September 1 of the junior year but could not call or text until July 1 following the junior year. This is just for D1. D2 and D3 have different and less complicated rules.

Am I mistaken?

you can definitely receive direct mail, email and messages as of Septmeber 1, the beginning of your junior year.  This changed last year.  I do not know about direct phone calls.  There used to be limits on numbers of texts allowed and now they are back to unlimited texting since most text plans do not charge per text anymore.  For all details check online through ncaa.org,, each sport and divisions may have certain tweaks to the calendar.

As of September 1 for a junior (2017), they can receive unlimited phone calls from D1 coaches.

sept 1 this year. I have a 2017 also

Thanks for the replies. These are exciting times. Lots of showcases this fall and I'm really happy for my son. Lots of D1 interest. I hope he gets some offers this fall. He is now 83-86 with a good curveball from the left side. 6'1" and still growing. Love having such a great resource that we have in this forum. Thanks guys.

Sorry about that. For some reason I was still thinking a 2017 was an incoming Soph. And Aug? Could I have hurried that any more trying to leave work?
