The list is long, but it includes Notre Dame's Charlie Weis, Pitt's Dave Wannstedt, Ohio State's Jim Tressel, Michigan's Lloyd Carr, Connecticut's Randy Edsall, Wisconsin's Bret Bielema, USC assistant coach Brennan Carroll, Tennessee assistant David Cutcliffe, Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis and Penn State assistants Tom Bradley and Jay Paterno. Reitz said USC coach Pete Carroll, Rutgers coach Greg Schiano and other head coaches are expected to visit soon.
From April 15 to May 31, college coaches are allowed two visits in a month to a recruit's school to check on his academics and evaluate his play during the season and at camps. They cannot speak to the prospect at school, but they are permitted one telephone call. Coaches also can send mail to a prospect and, until a new NCAA rule takes effect Aug. 1, communicate by cell phone text messages. Prospects are permitted to call coaches.
