This - since he hasn't taken an OV, this wouldn't impact the scholly numbers, correct?
The NCAA takes a broader view. Yes, an OV or financial aid offer makes you recruited. But the NCAA also says this:
Recruited: If a college coach contacts you off campus, pays your
expenses to visit the campus, or (in Divisions I and II) issues you a
NLI or a written offer of financial aid, you are considered recruited.
Prospective student-athletes will also be considered as recruited
if a Division I or II school initiates or arranges a telephone contact
on more than one occasion for the purposes of recruitment.
There are a couple of other guys without OVs in the class of 24 who are being scheduled for January OVs. I would guess they will do the same for Ruggeroli.
