Isn’t it dead only for in person visits.

Coaches can zoom with players and make offers. That’s what uva has been doing a lot this week. Using the dead period to make large, probably over market value offers, to the players they really want and use it as a take it now or it disappears. That’s how they got 4 this week that have never visited. It’s an interesting strategy, and I guess you have to have the financial ability to overspend but if you do, it’s a great way to get in there without other schools being able to get them on campus

Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/10/25 11:26 AM ET
16 PPG and almost six assists/game. I'll take him. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/10/25 02:20 PM ET
That would be a great pickup no doubt
catdaddy • 04/10/25 12:51 PM ET

Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/10/25 09:25 AM ET
Yea to me the biggest risk is how they all interact with each other.
RCush13 • 04/10/25 09:35 PM ET
Is it dead for agents? Feel like that is a new loop hole. **
GBOHokie • 04/09/25 05:44 PM ET
It's dead for coaches...

Agents are talking to the GMs. But, oh, VT doesn't have one.**

Point guards are more plentiful than post players. **
