April 21st is the first day of the quiet period in men's basketball recruiting. The quiet period lasts until July 6th when summer evaluation begins. Therefore, you will not be hearing about college coaches visiting high schools anymore. Players can visit college campuses unofficially though, where they might pick up offers.

Here is some more news on the recruiting trail...
