From Iowa Site.
We have a new starting date for the recruiting season. The starting date is when things get very interesting in the recruiting world as college wrestling coaches make their pitch to recruits to lock down a verbal commitment. This will be just a verbal commitment for soon to be high school juniors in the Class of 2021 as a National Letter of Intent will not be signed until November of 2020.
However make no mistake about it. A verbal commitment is huge. With recruiting being the life of any and all college wrestling programs, it is easy to see why us fans take such an interest.
New rules were passed on May 1, 2019 to move the start date of recruiting for Juniors in the Recruiting Class of 2021 to August 1, 2019. This is a change from September 1 of the past several years for the recruitment of high school Juniors.
There is a twist to the new start date. Due to the NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) Convention, there will be a dead period from July 29-August 4. From my understanding during the dead period college coaches cannot contact recruits. With that in mind, the new and improved starting date of recruiting for Juniors in the Class of 2021 will be Monday, August 5.
