Basically, as long as they are on your 40 man roster the day prior to the rule 5 draft you are okay. I would say wait as long as possible because player's stats change overtime as they develop and someone that you may of though you didn't want in May might turn out to be a good player in September.

Thanks for your help, that’s what I had hoped to hear as I planned to leave it as long as possible because the prospects aren’t ready for mlb yet but too good to risk losing.
