I don't see any evidence the cycle has moved forward. Certainly these coaches all have their targets for 2017. They determined those last July and into the fall. Most coaches were out last fall in open gyms and prior to their conference seasons attending games. But that process hasn't changed in several years.
Once they have their targets, coaches have been actively texting/calling them and trying to get them to come on unofficial visits througout their seasons. Now that most of the HS seasons have finished the AAU slate starts in April and college coaches can refine their targets and source new ones as they see who has taken a jump in their development.
