That rule doesn't matter if the prospect places the call.

Glad you put that to rest. Also not a violation to call the hs coach and be put on the phone with the kid or tell the coach to get the kid to call. LSU does it as does everyone. There are loopholes to every rule and that's the point. NCAA sets the basic,bland rule and leave it to the coaches to work around it how they see fit. The reason for so many secondary violations in college football.

This rule is also the foundation of how the Bama/Diarse talk about Bama being in contact more and longer is overplayed by media and LSU fans who take it as our coaches being lazy or screwing up. If Bama is in more contact it's because of Diarse initiating it and quite frankly our staff can't do anything about that. If he chooses to call Bama more than LSU then really nothing can be done outside of normal recruiting and convincing him to be in contact with LSU more. This goes for all kids. Our staff can't control who the kids choose to call.

according to the rules...

quote:

An athletics representative of a member institution may speak to a prospective student-athlete via the telephone only if the prospective student-athlete initiates the telephone conversation and the call is not for recruiting purposes. Under such circumstances, the representative must refer questions about the institution's athletics program to the athletics department staff.


I'm sure Smart is refusing to answer any questions about the football team and transferring the call to the assistant A.D.'s secretary.

in addition...I don't get from this quote that the dude is dialing up Smart 2-3 times a week to chit-chat

quote:

Alabama is just the most persistent.

"Coach [Kirby] Smart at Alabama - we talk two or three times a week," he said.
