Recruiting dead period has ended
Jan. 17, 2020
After a post-early signing window recruiting dead period that ran through the holidays and into the middle of January, a contact period begins today, affecting both the 2020 class and underclassmen.
* While most of South Carolina's 2020 class is signed and sealed, the Gamecocks' coaches will hit the road to meet in person with their final senior targets as the final sprint to National Signing Day on Feb. 5 begins. This is when the coaches will make their final recruiting pitches.
* A contact period also means that schools can host visitors on their campuses again, giving them this weekend, next weekend and the weekend following that for three weekends of official visits prior to the signing period.
* Coaches aren't allowed to interact with underclassmen at their high schools during this time, but they'll still drop by the schools of top prospects and make their presence known while meeting with the head coaches.
* Rising seniors aka the class of 2021's prospects are allowed to interact with the coaching staff if they visit campus and the Gamecocks will be hosting their first junior day of the new year on Saturday.
“We have a good plan in place as far as the guys we feel like we need to sign in February,” Muschamp said. “I think we have a good plan in place. We’ll be back on the road Friday and we have a big weekend this weekend with some good players coming into town unofficially.”
