Blueshirts can play immediately. As a practical matter though, you've probably cheated if they do. Coaches are not supposed to have any substantive contact with a blueshirt before the start of fall practice, so he wouldnt be working out with the team, or having his workouts directed by the team, he wouldn't have a copy of the playbook to be studying, he would not have been on any official visits where he would have had everything explained to him.

Now people do bend these rules or course, but if you are playing by the rules then it would be very hard for a player to make up 5-6 months of direction from the strength and conditioning staff and position coaches that a "normal" recruit would have access too.
