I got the backup option from a D2 kid, I am obviously D3.  He is considering a C SIM AI D2 school.  I am a B- prestige.  The WOTS was that the D2 school was the early front runner but the family said he isn't sold.  Do I have a chance to steal here?

Yes. Once it gets to the next level up of "definitely leaning towards" it becomes extremely difficult, but you can still take guys like that with a basic message.

Do it's at least worth a shot if I have money in the bank? Lol

That message is for when two teams are battling for a recruit and one is ahead. The next level would be say something like "is very tight with" or something similar.

There is a message "He's definitely leaning towards XYZ, but sources tell us he's not 100% sold," that is not for battles. This one is a step up from your basic WOTS messages, but not quite "tight" or "very solid."

agreed. there are 9 messages split into 3 levels. there are 4 low messages like "... but is very open to other offers" etc.. then there are 2 in the middle, this one and other other that sounds similar. then there are 3 tight levels, that all say like definitely leaning towards XYZ (without the 100% sold), maybe definitely in *s or he is *very* solid on XYZ. 

at least, im pretty sure thats how it works.
