NCAA implements new rules restricting June access to recruits

Some of the best high school basketball players from the most prominent schools in the country are no longer able to be seen by college coaches in June, according to ESPN Staff Writer Jeff Borzello.

The NCAA implemented a plethora of new recruiting rules back in August due to the influx of corruption surrounding college basketball recruiting. Part of these changes involved moving the July evaluation periods, as well as adding two weekends in June for college coaches to watch recruits.

The purpose of these new rules was to allow coaches more opportunities to see recruits than in the past, and in different settings than the usual AAU events.
