had to happen because with an early signing date-official visits were back-ass backwards. Recruits need to be able to take official visits to adequately analyze their options and can't really do that during high school football season. Next years class will likely be able to take their official visits starting this spring--in a few months. Also, they will likely curtail targeted contact with recruits at camps and/or unofficial visits before September 1 of their Junior Year. Ex. SMU had been targeting 2019 No. 1 QB Grant Gunnell from Houston at its camps since he was a freshman. In the future schools would have to treat all camp attendees similarly until their Junior year
