How far is the recruit from you? If he's within 360, go for it, if within 200, definitely go for it, if the guy is good. Prestige is somewhat irelevant in D2 battles, but the spots are important for money's sake obviously. You're probably going to have to put a good deal of cash in, but if you can afford it, you're close to the guy, and the guy is good enough, go get him.
