Recruiting is a year-round game, with coaches constantly hosting recruits, going to visit recruits and more throughout the year.
With that, the NCAA implements a recruiting calendar for every athletic year, which begins in August and ends in July. In this calendar there are four separate periods: the dead period, quiet period, evaluation period and contact period.
Some of these periods overlap each other because of the transfer portal, and the rules are slightly different for service academies like Air Force, Army, etc.
The NCAA recently released the recruiting calendar for the 2023-2024 athletic year. Here's the easiest way to understand it, and a detailed look at what periods fall on what dates this coming year.
From the NCAA's website:
"A dead period is that period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the member institution's campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution's campus."
A dead period is just that: dead. Essentially what that means is coaches cannot see recruits in person, they can't talk to them in-person (calls and texts are still allowed) and they can't host them on campus either officially or unofficially.
Here's when the NCAA has dead periods implemented through the 2023-2024 athletic year:
- Aug. 1-31, 2023
- Nov. 27-30, 2023
- Dec. 18, 2023, - Jan. 11, 2024*
- Feb. 5 - March 3, 2024
- May 26-29, 2024
- June 24 - July 24, 2024
*The NCAA has allowed a four-day period from Jan. 3 to Jan. 7 — normally a dead period — for two- and four-year transfers to take official visits to prospective schools.
