According to a release from the NCAA Friday, the council "reached consensus on some aspects of a new men's basketball recruiting model." The release cites the following as the issues the Leadership Council, which heard presentations from two subcommittees on all manner of men's basketball issues, was able to agree on:
A start date for official visits beginning after the men’s basketball championship in April of the junior year.
Deregulating the type of communication between coaches and prospects (including text messaging and other forms of electronic communication).
Allowing unlimited communication after Aug. 1 before the junior year in high school.
Permitting evaluations at certified nonscholastic events on two weekends in April, with some restrictions.
Permitting some contact at a prospect’s educational institution in conjunction with an evaluation, with some restrictions and requirements.
