It’s another week of the Recruiting Roundup.

As the season starts, recruiting did seem to pick up over the past week. This also coincides with high school seasons starting, meaning coaches can watch game film and compare how recruits have improved from last year to this year.

Four offers and one verbal commit isn’t much, but it shows more activity than most of the month of August. As Northern Illinois picked up the new commit, they are featured on the cover photo.

Recruiting Calendar:

From September through November, we are now in an evaluation period. Players can have on-campus visits, and coaches can go recruit players on high school campuses. As always, it is okay for texts, calls, and DMs.

Next College Student Athlete says:

The NCAA Evaluation Period is a specific time of year when college coaches are allowed to watch an athlete compete in person or visit their school. However, coaches are not allowed to communicate with that athlete (or parents) off the college campus. Coaches can sit in the stands during a recruit’s practice or game, as well as visit the recruit’s school. This gives college coaches a chance to talk to the recruit’s coach, teachers, or guidance counselor to get a better understanding of the student-athlete’s character. After the visit, the coach may call or email the recruit and let them know how their experience was at the school or game.

The NCAA Evaluation Period is just that: a time set aside for evaluation. While coaches can’t talk to athletes off the college campus, they can still call, email, text, and direct message recruits.
