I get these questions a lot during the quiet period, and that is, can I talk to college coaches during the quiet period? Can I email them? Can I talk to them on the phone? Can I take a college visit with them? And the answer to all of those questions is yes, yes, and yes. And it's understandable that there's some confusion around the name quiet period because it implies that you can't talk to college coaches. That's not the case, actually, at all. Really. What it means is Division 1 college coaches cannot go off their campus and watch and evaluate you and recruit you in person off of their campus, meaning they have to be on their campus at camps. That's why we're seeing a lot of camps pop up right now and can only evaluate you and recruit you in person on their campus and not off their campus. So that's what the quiet period means. So, hey, make sure you're communicating with college coaches.
