New NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules

We wanted to post the new NCAA rules and how they will apply to summer basketball for this upcoming April and July:

Instituted a new summer basketball recruiting model. Instead of having 20 evaluation days in July and none in April, coaches will have four evaluation days in April and 12 in July. The change also means coaches can make unlimited calls or send unlimited text messages to prep recruits after June 15 at the end of their sophomore year.
