Dead Period Begins Today
Today marks the beginning of the June-July dead period in recruiting. The dead period lasts June 24-July 24.

Coaches are not allowed to make face-to-face contact with recruits or their parents during the dead period. That includes visits to prospects’ high schools. Coaches are also not allowed to watch prospects compete either – to avoid coaches traveling to events, watching players work and then leaving without actually making contact with them.

The purpose of a dead period is to watch for the well-being of the recruits, which is understandable, as these guys typically have coaches and media texting and calling every day. The dead period does not affect the media much, though.

Many recruits will take this time to fall back into their support networks and make the commitment decision that is best for them. Most 2020 prospects typically schedule their official visits before July, but there is some time following the dead period to make visits before their senior football seasons.
