When can college coaches evaluate juniors in football recruiting
For the top recruits throughout the country, college coaches should be making visits to your high school on nearly a daily basis. While I already wrote yesterday about why you shouldn’t expect the head coaches to make the visit, you should be seeing a number of assistant coaches from throughout the country.
From April 15th until May 31st, college coaches can select four weeks (They have to put this in writing beforehand) that they are legally able to be on the road talking to coaches and seeing prospects at school sponsored events (Let me stress that this does not include combines or other independent camps).
Here is what the NCAA specifically says about what the coaches can do during those four weeks:
An authorized off-campus recruiter may use one evaluation to assess the prospective student-athlete’s athletics ability and one evaluation to assess the prospective student-athlete’s academic qualifications during this evaluation period. If an institution’s coaching staff member conducts both an athletics and an academic evaluation of a prospective student-athlete on the same day during this evaluation period, the institution shall be charged with the use of an academics evaluation only and shall be permitted to conduct a second athletics evaluation of the prospective student-athlete on a separate day during this evaluation period: (Adopted: 1/11/94 effective 8/1/94, Revised: 4/27/00 effective 8/1/00, 9/6/00)
Basically if a coach goes into the school, meets with their high school coach, says hello to the prospect, and checks in on their grades, then the coach can come back to the school to see them in action at a track meet or something along those lines.
During that time period mentioned above, the days that are excluded include Sundays and Memorial Day. Those are days that college coaches will be unable to do any sort of evaluations.

Are programs more likely to pick the last 4 weeks of the eval period to schedule visits? Maybe in an effort to get the last impression/word in before summer starts.
Kelly,
I really think there is no rhyme or reason why they go on certain weeks. It really just depends on what works best for them and where they are traveling to. Some coaches travel all over the country so keep that in mind.
ya, I’m this past week has been big for me. I was wondering why so many colleges were deciding to visit right now. I’ve had a bunch of coaches come too visit including Wisconsin, Akron, Bowling Green, Indiana, and Ohio State.
Bryan,
Good to hear about the schools. Did the coaches get a chance to say more than hello?
Well, it depends on the coach. The guy from the Wisconsin basically introduced himself and said he’ll keep an eye on me.Thats about all he said to me. The other coaches talked a little more than he did probaly like 5 minutes or so.
Give Indiana a fair look… We need all the help we can get.
Actually of all the coaches I’ve met. I liked the O-Line coach from Indiana the most. When the time comes for me to choose my college the coaches will be a huge factor in my decision.
Sounds like a wise approach to me. Good luck to you Bryan – Keep us up to date on here.
