MWCConnection Recruiting Roundup 11-2-26. Mountain West November Team Rankings.

It’s another week of the Recruiting Roundup.

Many teams have secured the bulk of their recruiting classes, but coaches are still putting the finishing touches on things for the 2027 cycle.

Offers continue to be handed out, with 37 coming out this week. Hawaii accounted for around half of them all by themselves, with 17 known ones. While there were three decommitments, there were also three new commitments, with new verbal pledges going to Air Force, New Mexico, and Texas State.

Looking at things a bit closer, the Lobos had both new offers and a new commit, so they are featured on the cover photo.

Recruiting Calendar:

From September through November, we are now in an evaluation period. Players can have on-campus visits, and coaches can go recruit players on high school campuses. As always, it is okay to send texts, calls, and DMs.

Next College Student Athlete says:

The NCAA Evaluation Period is a specific time of year when college coaches are allowed to watch an athlete compete in person or visit their school. However, coaches are not allowed to communicate with that athlete (or parents) off the college campus. Coaches can sit in the stands during a recruit’s practice or game, as well as visit the recruit’s school. This gives college coaches a chance to talk to the recruit’s coach, teachers, or guidance counselor to get a better understanding of the student-athlete’s character. After the visit, the coach may call or email the recruit and let them know how their experience was at the school or game.

The NCAA Evaluation Period is just that: a time set aside for evaluation. While coaches can’t talk to athletes off the college campus, they can still call, email, text, and direct message recruits.
