The University of Connecticut Huskies will adjust to meet new challenges of men's basketball recruiting in the middle of a global pandemic, here's their plan.
Division I programs are thinking to the future of prospective student athletes and what this all means as peak recruiting season approaches.

So you just have to be really good at working [through] the only means possible,” Moore said.
The press release also said the D-I men’s and women’s Basketball Oversight Committees would “consider whether to establish alternative evaluation periods for NCAA-certified events later this year.” Normally, during this time of year, Doherty takes part in planning how to get head coach Dan Hurley and his three assistant coaches “on the road” for live evaluation periods at the Amateur Athletic Union circuits, which are club and travel leagues where coaches can get a glimpse of potential 2021 recruits.
“I feel we have done a good job connecting with prospects and their families through virtual calls and have really presented the best aspects of our program,” Moore said. “Like every program, it has forced us to be creative and Coach Hurley has done a great job leading the way for us in these different times.”

Gampel Pavilion, Storrs, Conn.“I think that [coaches] like to have the Zoom calls. But I think, at this point, kids are kind of sick of it,” he said. “It was good the first few weeks, but now they might not even want to get on.
However, with high school gyms temporarily closed and the possibility that AAU tournaments won’t happen this year, decisive opportunities for the athletes to get noticed could fall through the cracks. “Every state’s a little bit different. We’re kind of waiting on the word when we’re gonna be able to take the next step. We’re thinking we may be able to start in July,” he added, noting that Pennsylvania had planned to host tournaments this summer.

However, Doherty said that while a lot of videos of potential recruits may be available, the recruiting process is still not the same as seeing players in real life on the court.
