The Covid quiet period prevents in-person visits involving recruits. Can’t imagine that it prohibits announcement. I assume coaches want to visit in-person with recruits, and recruits want to visit campus and meet the team.
The quiet period obviously didn’t stop the first recruit announcement.
What I mean is between shutdown periods, dead periods, quiet periods, etc....I wouldn’t expect a lot of action. Holsinger was hired APRIL 13 during a dead period. May 3-9 was a recruiting shutdown (no recruiting at all permitted). So he hasn’t had a lot of opportunities in my opinion to truly recruit anyone yet. I think it was amazing when he landed the German girl so quickly. In his talk with Riley, he said announcements will be coming soon after some of these recruiting periods so I’m guessing some gals are already lined up.
Dead period and recruiting shutdowns: During the dead period, coaches may not have any in-person contact with recruits or their parents. But communication is still allowed to occur via phone, email and social media or other digital communication channels. A recruiting shutdown, on the other hand, means no forms of recruiting are permitted, including contact with college coaches, evaluations, unofficial or official visits, correspondence and making or receiving phone calls.
