    NCAA outlaws recruiting strategy Only two football coaches per school allowed to visit recruit
    By Marc Weiszer - [email protected]
    Published Friday, April 30, 2010


    Georgia football assistant coaches showed up en masse for recruiting visits this week during the spring evaluation period, employing a tactic that others have used.

    That won't be allowed to anymore.

    The NCAA Division I Board of Directors finalized legislation Thursday effective immediately limiting no more than two football coaches per school from visiting a prospective recruit in the same day during an evaluation period, NCAA spokesman Erik Christanson confirmed by e-mail Thursday night.

    The rule change takes direct aim at recruiters riding to high schools in stretch Hummer limousines, a controversial tactic Auburn coaches began last year.

    Auburn coaches visited Columbus Carver High School in a limousine on Tuesday, prompting teachers there to talk about it, Carver coach Dell McGee said Thursday.

    Florida State sent four recruiters to Carver on Wednesday.

    Six Georgia assistant coaches were at Carver on Monday without the fancy ride, but coach Mark Richt got word by Thursday evening that his staff won't be allowed to do that anymore because of the NCAA's action.

    "We knew if we were going to do it in numbers at a certain place, we better do it right now," Richt said before speaking to the Greater Augusta Bulldog Club, "but next week was kind of a time for everyone to disperse anyway. So it worked out about how we hoped it would."

    The object of many schools' affection at Carver are rising seniors Gabe Wright, a defensive lineman and Isaiah Crowell, a running back, both highly-regarded prospects.

    The rule change in the Football Bowl Subdivision was backed by the Big East Conference.

    The rationale for the rule, according to the draft of the proposal that was approved by the NCAA Legislative Council on April 13 before it became final Thursday, specifically mentioned the use of limos and "extravagant buses."

    It said the rule was needed because "multiple coaches are appearing at the high schools of the prospective student-athletes just as much to be seen as to actually conduct an evaluation. Many institutions are unnecessarily expending resources in order to have multiple assistant coaches attend these evaluations as a result of the perceived recruiting benefit."

    McGee said ultimately the decision of recruits still will come down to things like the recruit's family, the player's interest level and developing a relationship with a position coach.

    "The limo deal and them coming in packs is impressive to a certain extent, but at the same time that's not going to influence all kids," McGee said.

    Auburn signed a recruiting class in February that was ranked No. 4 in the nation by Rivals.com
    Auburn coach Gene Chizik said Thursday that he did not know what impact limo rides had on that class.
    "All of the different recruiting ideas that we came up with last year, people want to ask the question what kind of effect did they have on recruiting?," Chizik said. "I don't know whether that's something that played a huge part in our success with our signing class or not. ... It's all about how hard you work and it's all about relationships."
