Data and limits

  • This is the NCAA Division II men's basketball recruiting calendar (contact, evaluation, quiet, and dead periods). It is not a school's camp schedule and does not promise that any coach is available.
  • Start and end dates include both days when the NCAA lists an inclusive range. Evaluation windows with clock limits still follow the surrounding quiet or dead period outside those hours.
  • Dead periods stop in-person contact, evaluations and campus visits. They do not by themselves stop email or text messages unless NCAA rules say otherwise for a specific period.
  • The NCAA lists dates without a time zone. The Today box uses the date on your device.
  • This page makes no promise about eligibility, admission, playing time, or scholarships.
