Jon Rothstein has reported that the NCAA has again extended the recruiting dead period, this time all the way out to April 15, 2021.
That means there will be no in-person observation of prospects for any that actually have a high school season this winter, and it also starts to bump up against the start of the spring AAU circuit. Hopefully, this will be the final time the dead period gets extended and we can get back to normal, or something close to it, in the spring and into the summer. For now, this is going to cause at least some disruption for the 2022 and 2023 classes as coaches will be limited to video and word of mouth from people connected with high school programs.
