by spartan: colleges are allowed to write to a potential recruit once on or after 9/1 as they enter their Junior year .... the bulk of the recruiting class is still open
congrats on your son's early verbal
just a few lines to clarify -
after Sept 1 of jr yr coaches can write every week if they like ...
and while it may be technicaly correct that 80% + of recruiting classes will be filled after July 1 ... it would be misleading to call those spots
open, implying that they are up for grabs.
coach's "A" lists are basicly set and will be followed until needs are met. players not already on those lists will not likely see much action in the early signing period. there will be exceptions ..
but they are just that - - exceptions
