I thought we were in the "dead" period. Is there an exception for a new coach?

A dead period is a period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the institution's campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution's campus. The provision of complimentary admissions to a prospective student-athlete during a dead period is prohibited, except as provided in Bylaw 13.7.2.5 for a prospective student-athlete who visits an institution as part of a group. During a dead period, a coaching staff member may not serve as a speaker at or attend a meeting or banquet at which prospective student-athletes are in attendance, except as provided in Bylaw 13.1.8.4, and may not visit a prospective student-athlete's educational institution. It remains permissible, however, for an institutional staff member to write or telephone a prospective student-athlete during a dead period.

Coaches could send unlimited text messages and other forms of electronic communications if a recruiting rule proposed by the Rules Working Group is approved in January by the members who serve on the Division I Legislative Council.

The membership will consider three new recruiting proposals the Rules Working Group constructed during its September meeting from similar measures that were adopted and later suspended by the Board of Directors early in 2013.

The proposed removal of limitations on text messaging between coaches and recruits by the NCAA Rules Working Group does not apply to football.

Text messaging has been banned between coaches and recruits in football since 2007. It is allowed in basketball. Coaches are permitted to communicate with football recruits by other methods of private messaging, including through social media.

The reinstatement of text messaging in football was part of a controversial package of recruiting deregulation passed early this year by the Division I Board of Directors but suspended in May by the same group after it was met with widespread criticism.

A subcommittee of the NCAA's Leadership Council was subsequently formed to examine recruiting issues in football. That group has not taken action on any issues related to electronic communication between football coaches and recruits.

That would not suck. If CS somehow pulls off Brown and holds together the class, that's a resounding success. It may also start a little flood of other guys who wanted to be horns but didn't want to hitch their wagon to a dying program.

Thank you sir, greatly appreciated.

i have my doubts as to whether tony brown ever plays a down of football. he's got the talent to be an elite track guy, and after his recent shoulder injury it wouldnt surprise me to see him go in that direction.

Jkbtjc53 is chiming in also. IT says he signed enrollment papers w/ LSU, Bama, A&M, and...Texas. It's now 4 pages

According to Such, the coach said if he wasn't on the flight yesterday there is definitely smoke and the OP said he was in the car w/ his mom this morning in Beaumont.

He's supposed to enroll at Bama tomorrow I think. IF he's going, he'll have to make a decision pretty quick.
