With the advent of the ill-conceived Early Signing Period in December, June has transformed into the biggest recruiting month of the year. U.S. high school spring terms come to a close and rising seniors and juniors with hopes of playing college football begin camping at various colleges across the country. June 1 is also a beginning of an NCAA Quiet Period in which coaching staffs are not allowed to have off-campus contact or scouting. Thus, getting prospects on campus in that stretch is vital. The time is crunched further since this span is then followed - for absolutely NO good reason - by a Dead Period from June 27 to July 24.
