So its recruiting time. I'm in a "battle" over an international player with a school that I have a 2 step prestige advantage over.  Signings have begun, and the other coach continues to put in effort, although I am still in the lead.  Thing is, I had 6 open scholarships to his 3 up front. Every time he gains even a little, I just throw another HV on the recruit and next time I get the equivalent of the "wish i could sign now" message, although in somewhat racially offensive pidgin.

Is there anything that I could say on the CC like, hey coach X, you know that I had twice as many open slots, or something like that, just to remind him what he should realize - he can't win? Or should I just say nothing and let him dribble away his last dimes?

if you say anything during recruiting be careful that well intentioned words of advice dont sound - or cant be read as - threats - some folks can get real bent out of shape and it can be hard to tell whether words are a smiling warning/advice or a condescending threat

and watch out for collusion or anything that someone could read as proposing agreement

its always better to spend to much on a guy you really want then not enough.
