12/12/2016 Recruiting Update: The Dead Period Cometh

Let’s get this out of the way: beginning early this morning at 12:01, the Football Bowl Subdivision entered what is called a “Dead Period” through January 11, 2017. Before you freak out, though, know that “Dead Period” is a complete misnomer of a term — though in-person contact is forbidden between coaches/recruiters and recruits or their families, contact is still allowed by phone or other electronic means. That includes texting, emails, snapchats (I assume?), smoke signals (again, I assume?) and the like. So don’t expect for Baylor to hang it up on recruiting for a month. I would expect the opposite, in fact.
