The NCAA has started to change the rules of engagment for recruiting. Among the changes is the following:
“Coaches will be allowed to send unlimited phone calls and text messages to men’s basketball recruits. The deregulation extends to social media, starting June 15 after a recruit’s sophomore year. Private messages on social networks also will be deregulated. Public messages through social networks will continue to be prohibited because of the rule preventing institutions from publicizing their recruiting efforts.” (Coach Cal is somewhere smiling right now)
