Title: Lane Kiffin's first call as OC: 5-star Alabama quarterback commit Ricky Town Post by: Jamos on January 13, 2014, 08:18:53 AM When Alabama hired new offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, many expected the former USC head coach to make a major impact on the recruiting trail. Kiffin's first call as the Tide's new offensive coordinator, however, wasn't to a top uncommitted target but rather to the Tide's top commitment for the Class of 2015, Ventura, California quarterback Ricky Town.

Was this a violation? Or is there some loophole?

Was this a violation? Or is there some loophole? The way I read the rule, it's a dead period for a face-to-face visit, not phone contact. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/10/30/5048350/college-football-recruiting-dead-period Quote The rules will be made effective immediately and mean that no in-person recruiting can take place from Dec. 16 through Jan. 15 -- a month-long period that occurs during bowl season.

The rules for quiet periods and dead periods are listed below:
Quote Quiet Period A quiet period restricts in-person contact with prospective student-athletes. During this period, in-person contact is only permissible within the confines of the institution's campus. Telephone calls made during the quiet period are restricted to one per week, per prospective student-athlete. Dead Period The dead period is often the most misunderstood recruiting period by fans and recruits. A dead period prohibits in-person contact at any location between a coach and a prospective student-athlete. However, telephone calls are still permitted at a rate of one per week, per prospective student-athlete. In addition to telephone calls, coaches are also allowed to write recruits using e-mail or printed letters. At no time is a coach allowed to text message a prospective student-athlete, regardless of whether the prospective student-athlete sends a text message to a coach. http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ycn-7753211 Title: Re: Lane Kiffin's first call as OC: 5-star Alabama quarterback commit Ricky Town Post by: Jamos on January 13, 2014, 10:15:16 AM I'm guessing that Kiffen has met Marie Robbins already and has her phone number in a very handy place.
