On June 15, men's college basketball coaches will be allowed to make unlimited phone calls and send unlimited text messages to recruits

An NCAA rule change taking effect June 15 will allow men's college basketball coaches to make unlimited phone calls and send unlimited text messages to recruits who have just finished their sophomore years of high school. The change certainly benefits coaches, who now should have an easier time getting in touch with targets, but it could cause unrest among top-ranked recruits. If they thought they were being bombarded already, things are about to get much worse. They haven't experienced anything quite like what they're likely going to encounter.
"There will be hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of text messages and phone calls per day or week for some of these top-rated players," Rutgers head coach Mike Rice said. "That's life changing."
