New guidelines are giving college coaches more leeway in recruiting, with Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin already taking advantage of one new rule.
As the NCAA attempts to modernize Division I rules, coaches are now allowed to mention high school teams publicly or geotag the schools while recruiting off campus. Kiffin tweeted Friday morning that he would attend an Isidore Newman football game later in the day to watch the No. 1 quarterback in the 2023 class, Arch Manning.
Feels like a great night to go watch 2 great high school programs @EHSBRAthletics vs @NewmanAthletes #GoKnights #GoGreenies

In the past, college coaches were not permitted to endorse any noninstitutional athletic events or a prospect's team, coach or athletic facility.
