December Recruiting Tips

December Education

Have you ever been confused on the actual difference between recruiting periods? Below you can find the definitions for each period and see how they vary:

Contact period: a college coach may have in-person contact with you and/or your parents on or off the college’s campus. The coach may also watch you play or visit your high school. You and your parents may visit a college campus and the coach may write or call you during this period.

Dead period: a college coach may not have any in-person contact with you or your parents on or off campus at any time during a dead period. The coach may write and call your or your parents during this time.

Evaluation period: a college coach may watch you play or visit your high school, but can’t have any in-person conversations with your or your parents off the college’s campus. You and your parents can visit a college campus during this period. A coach may write and call your or your parents during this time.

Quiet period: a college coach may not have any in-person contact with you or your parents off the college’s campus. The coach may not watch you play or visit your high school during this period. You and your parents may visit a college campus during this time. A coach may write or call your or your parents during this time.

NLI Frequently Asked Questions

What is “Grayshirting?”
·       “Grayshirting” is a term used in the recruiting process to describe situations in which a student-athlete delays initial enrollment in a collegiate institution to the winter or spring term after the traditional academic year begins. Student-athletes who “grayshirt” often use the fall to take classes part time or choose not to enroll in college at all. “Grayshirting” is not a formal designation by the NCAA or the NLI program. If you decide to delay your initial enrollment, your NLI remains binding; however, if a coach or the institution’s admission office delays your enrollment, the NLI may be declared null and void.

Am I subject to the NLI penalty if I attend a school that does not participate in the NLI program?
·       No. If you sign an NLI you may attend any institution that does not subscribe to the NLI program without incurring any NLI penalties while at the non-participating school. Please note, though, if you would later transfer to an institution participating in the NLI program, the NLI penalties would be applied at your next NLI institution.

Is an NLI binding if the coach of my sport leaves the institution?
·       Yes. The NLI you signed with an institution remains binding if the coach who recruited you leaves the institution with which you signed. When you sign an NLI, you sign with an institution and not with a coach or a specific team.
