SteveMA - They CAN email you and send you letters directly (and initiating contact) after Sept 1 of your junior year. That’s what is meant by “recruiting materials” on your chart - they are allowed to start “general correspondence” to recruits via email or letters - beyond just questionnaires and camp brochures. My DD and every one of her team mates were flooded with emails at 12:01 on Sept 1 of their junior year, and the letters started pouring in within 2 days. They were all related to recruiting but they were specifically to her saying “We’re so excited it’s Sept 1 and we can now officially contact you and begin getting to know you”

“Coaches can begin sending you recruiting materials, such as letters and e-mails, beginning September 1 of your junior year.” Search on this phrase and it comes up on every colleges athletics site as well as advisory sites.
