Ahh, loop holes.

good question

how about IM'ing over any of the instant messengers??

From what I've read, it prohibits recruitment from coaches via use of video phones, video conferencing, and message boards. Faxes and e-mails are still allowed, but with some restrictions.

The IM angle is pretty interesting, since I pondered that thought privately too, but never heard/read anything about it. Its not as convenient as texting, since you pretty much need a computer at your side to IM, but I could see coaches that have time on their hands, maybe overnight in a hotel or something on the recruiting trail, bust out a laptop and check in on some recruits... I just don't see it being the phenomenon that texting is/was, so who knows. Good question.

You can IM on most cell phones.........issue is more that the recruit would need to be connected to have any live discussion...

You'll start seeing myspace and Facebook messages explode.

In two years, people will be writing articles about how Ron Zook posts 4,000 messages on different recruits' walls when he's coaching the University of Southwest Missouri State Technical College.

The buzz continues that eman is correct about Blanton, and that RJ is all but official as an ND commit. I have not seen any confirmation, but multiple sources are reporting that Blanton is visiting ND in June just to be certain that he is comfortable with his choice.

I would not call this one a lock by any means, but if Blanton publicly states that he is coming to ND next month, it would look pretty good. Let's hope that his visit is very comfortable.
