No such thing as drop-down in GD. He's either in your vision or not.
I believe in GD a "drop down" refers to those players who are green to a D1A school, and within the vision of the D1AA school. If not signed by the D1A school, the player will become available again, picking on the school with the next best interest, so sometimes dropping down to a D1AA school who couldn't get him interested in them when competing with any D1A schools.
he was probably referencing that if the player is in your vision then he's not technically a drop down.
that's not exactly a accurate sentiment to have due to the potential issue of the higher the vision the more likely it is for a DI to drop down to recruit the player.
most DI teams are seeking top 50-75 ranked guys, others go top 100 and others still will go top 120 or so.
as you go further up the ladder the greater the risk of running into a DI either for back up purposes or for a lost battle replacement.
heck it could even be that the player is their primary.
