Basketball recruiting season is officially here, an open period that runs from fall to early spring with few breaks between. Aside from two dead periods from Nov. 6-9 and Dec. 24-26, it will be a free-for-all for college coaches until the first week of April — the close of college basketball season. What does that entail exactly? Coaches are allowed to make in-person off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations while also hosting recruits on campus visits without restriction.
