yes

The no contact rule has been around for quite awhile.

Okay: I hope we get Russell Shepard

Not Okay: I hope we get you, Russell.

And the NCAA consideres the former not an undue influence? hehehe

Houston, we have contact. The latter being categorized as "contact" on a message board


So when RS tells a recruit he should come to LSU, is he, in fact, a "booster" and violating the rules?

It would seem so...

Please be aware that NO written, telephonic or in-person communication is permitted between a recruit and a booster of an NCAA institution regardless of the medium. Please note that anyone who encourages a recruit to attend LSU is automatically considered a booster.
