This is a sitemail from Trentonjoe:
OK, here's the situation.
I recently "pulled down" a local recruit with 8 ST on the 2nd day (first full day) of recruiting.
I send 8 ST's and all the notes on the bottom were positive (His uncle loves us, we have a great chance, etc).
After 8 ST's he wasn't considering me but I had a good feeling so I sent a HV, he accepted it and started to consider me.
I tried again on Day 3 with another guy with 6 ST's. The messages were all positive after the first 2 but he rejected my HV after the first 6. I sent two more ST and a HV. He rejected the HV again BUT he started to consider me.
Guy 1 is 40 miles away and an international.
Guy 2 is 20 miles away, an ineligible and most definitively on my upper fringe of recruiting (483 for a C+ D3 school).
