Why is there even a question about golden leaving? He just was on the phone with a recruit and the ad already said he isnt going anywhere whata the point int talking about nothing
No he wasn't on the phone, or that's an NCAA recruiting violation.
It's not a violation. Recruits can contact the staff via phone, Twitter, Fb or whatever. Dead period is mainly no face to face interaction. Also anything done has to be initiated by the recruit
You're right about it not being a violation but wrong about the recruit having to initiate the call.
13.02.5.5
Dead Period.
A dead period is a period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the institution’s campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s campus. The provision of complimentary admissions to a prospective
student-athlete during a dead period is prohibited, except as provided in Bylaw 13.7.2.5 for a prospective student-athlete who visits an institution as part of a group. During a dead period, a coaching staff member may
not serve as a speaker at or attend a meeting or banquet at which prospective student-athletes are in attendance, except as provided in Bylaw 13.1.8.4, and may not visit a prospective student-athlete’s educational institution.
It remains permissible, however, for an institutional staff member to write or telephone a prospective student-athlete during a dead period.
