ACDH is against the ban saying.....

"It's a great way to reach out and keep up with the younger kids," Hill said. "It's a great way to let them know how things are going and build the relationship as well.

"It's a lot easier for a kid to tell you that he is interested with a text than it is over the phone, too. If he's not interested, he'll just text you and tell you that he's not interested instead of you calling him and wearing him out for a response. That interrupts his day moreso than getting the text."

Hill said banning today's new wave of communication will hurt the recruiting process.

"Banning it hurts the guys that work," Hill said. "Text-messaging is work. You are keeping up conversations right away and not having to wait until you get that one phone call. If you get rid of text messaging, you are giving an advantage to those upper-level universities."

"It is going to be hard because you might text a kid on one coast if you live on the other and it doesn't fall under the time you can text. Is that a violation? There are a lot of questions," Hill said.
