I could be wrong, but I thought that it was still ok as long as the player initiated the contact either by visiting or calling. Since this wasn't an official visit and the player traveled to the facility on his own accord, I think thats permitted.HomeFieldAdvantage wrote:Fair question and definitely something that Matt or Justin can find out for us. Perhaps the coaches aren't allowed to go to the athlete but the athlete can come to them? I am just guessing of course but there has to be some sort grey area.

Re: COLT News
That sounds logical to me. I would also be suprised, considering the large number of visits he has made to Eugene, if he didn't commit to the Ducks whenever he decides to announce.PDXShogun wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought that it was still ok as long as the player initiated the contact either by visiting or calling.

Remember when Rick Neuheisel parked outside a recruits house and called him on the cell phone because they couldn't have face to face contact?woundedknees wrote:So, if Colt was at practice, how is that not a violation?
"Dead period is a time when the college coach may not have any in-person contact with the prospective student-athlete or the prospect’s parents at any time. The coach may write and telephone during this time."
"Hello... I just dropped by to let you know I am going to USC, and wanted to screw your season and reputation at the same time", doesn't seem a likely scenario.
So. I can see it now... A group of Oregon coaches, as well as Colt Lyerla and his family, cell phones in hand, wandering around, silently texting each other as they wander around the facilities, in order to avoid any improprieties.
Hey! I think I just discovered a new LOOPHOLE!
