With the dead period starting on Sunday and prospects prevented from taking visits until September, how long can we expect most D-I prospects to hold out after this weekend?
I think in most cases, July 4 is a safe bet. There is currently too much money tied to the Power Four spots through revenue sharing, and the number of spots is limited. Schools will likely narrow down prospect lists and inform them about the limited spots and funding available, which will likely wrap up nearly all of recruiting by July 4. Only the high-end prospects will have the leverage to extend things, but even then, many schools can’t hold revenue-sharing money and wait on players.

This weekend, he's at Nebraska and early returns have the Huskers now making a move as he spends time with other commits including 2027 quarterback commit Trae Taylor, an Illinois native.
