The biggest changes you will see with the new Division 1 recruiting model is no more commitments in eighth grade, freshman year and even sophomore year. Why is that the case? Because college coaches cannot offer players in.
High school until.
August 1st of their junior year. So going into your junior year, the summer after Your sophomore year, August 1, college coaches cannot communicate and or offer employees. Until then they can communicate with you at camps. That's going to be a big deal.
Camps are going to.
Be really important going forward. But again, there's no more commitments before August 1st of your junior year, which I think is a really good thing. It's going to level out this playing field, especially guys that need time to develop and not forcing guys to commit in eighth grade or freshman year, which is just crazy. Got out of hands. The biggest changes you will see with the new Division 1 recruiting model is no more commitments in eighth grade, freshman year and even sophomore year.
