Recruiting Article What will the new official visit period mean for Pitt?

[Chris Peak]

Last year, the NCAA made two major changes to the recruiting process when it added two elements to the recruiting calendar.

First, the organization created a new early signing period for football, giving recruits three days in December to sign their Letters of Intent, if they were so inclined; that supplemented the traditional signing period that runs from the first Wednesday in February through the end of March.

In conjunction with that change, the NCAA added a new early official visit period. Meant to give recruits extra opportunities for official visits before the early signing period, the new official visit period runs from April 1-June 24.

While the early signing period had its inaugural run last December, the first early visit period is currently ongoing, and college coaches are just as curious as anyone else about how this spring adjustment will affect the recruiting process.

“I don’t know,” Pitt linebackers coach Rob Harley, who doubles as the team’s recruiting coordinator, said this spring. “I don’t know until we’re done will we really have a good feeling about it.”

Solid focus and article, Chris. It will be interesting to see how the whole landscape changes with an obvious special interest in Pitt and their competition.
