The full list of recruiting changes is at:

It seems like a fair number of changes could have implications for Stanford:
>> It adds a period for official visits that begins April 1 of the junior year and ends the Sunday before the last Wednesday in June of that year. Official visits cant occur in conjunction with a prospects participation in a schools camp or clinic (effective Aug. 1).
I imagine this is the part that could be a big win for Stanford. I'm biased, but how can anyone take a visit and not come away impressed that Stanford is the most beautiful and exciting campus in the world. If kids can see Stanford earlier in the process and more often, I think this will lead to more prospects making Stanford their dream pick.
>> It prevents Football Bowl Subdivision schools from hiring people close to a prospective student-athlete for a two-year period before and after the students anticipated and actual enrollment at the school. This provision was adopted in mens basketball in 2010 (effective immediately, though schools may honor contracts signed before Jan. 18, 2017).
No big change for Stanford, but I can imagine a certain Great Lakes university won't be able to scoop any more grad transfers while coincidentally hiring his mom as director of player development.
>>Football Bowl Subdivision schools are limited to signing 25 prospective and current student-athletes to a first-time financial aid agreement or a National Letter of Intent. Exceptions exclude current student-athletes who have been enrolled full-time at the school for at least two years and prospective or current student-athletes who suffer an incapacitating injury (effective for recruits who sign after Aug. 1, 2017).
I imagine this would rarely make a difference. I get a little nervous because Stanford has such an uneven number of slots available each year. I see in 2016 Stanford has 23 enrollees and 2 letters of intent -- would that hit the new limit? Also, this count seems like it'd be unfair for Mormon/LDS student-athletes, who might count toward a restrictive limit when they start their mission, not when they start school.
It looks like this rule could have a bigger impact at places like Alabama, which had 26 enrollees in 2013. Huh. Wouldn't their scholar-athletes want to spend 4-5 years there for that Alabama degree? It's not like 26 of them are going to the NFL every year after their junior year...
