There's often discussion here about recruits that may be thinking about coming to UMass. Before you post info here about recruits, please familiarize yourself with the rules.

Got game in 7th grade? NCAA says you’re a prospect

It's really pretty disgraceful what is happening in recruiting

Thats absolutely ridiculous. How do they know a 7th grader would even pan out? The kids are 12-13, when I was that young I sure as hell wasn't thinking about what college I was going to go to, nevermind whether or not I would be playing DI basketball...

I guess now we have to say "don't buy that 7th grader a Happy Meal and pitch going to UMass while doing it".

yeah i think it's a good ruling though. before, they weren't considered prospects, so coaches could basically do whatever they wanted with the kids. now they can't.

that is quite the set of rules considering who is identified as a representative of UMass athletics.

for those of us who are season ticket holders there is a lot of room to get involved in controversy.

thanks for posting that information. It makes you think about the issues that could arise in speaking to a player/parent in the neighborhood.

Changes for coaches. No change to the policy regarding fans/boosters, and that's what we need to know.

Would you have rather I started a new thread for this, Mike? I figured this is a good place for this stuff as well.
