NCAA Reportedly Changes Summer Basketball Recruiting Calendar

The report from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports goes into great detail about the nuances in play. The ultimate goal is to slowly step back from “non-scholastic events,” a.k.a. AAU tournaments sponsored by shoe companies, like the Nike’s Peach Jam.

If this legislation is passed, coaches will be limited from three non-scholastic events to only one in the month of the July. They will have five days to attend the Nike, adidas and Under Armour Championships.

Coaches will receive a second weekend to scout players in a live recruiting period, but this will take place at a sanctioned camp, coordinated by the NCAA, USA Basketball, the NBA and the NBA Players Association.
