What is This????? Email on Home Visit....WTF!! Topic

SHHH-BANG! That's what I'm talking about! I was so excited to see you at the house, my momma had to hose down the carpet three times. She said she hadn't seen anybody so excited since the day they delivered grandpappy's Russian mail-order bride. She didn't speak a lick of English, but grandpappy didn't seem to mind. I'm not sure what she saw in him, but she must've seen something 'cuz they would go at it like two gophers at a carrot. Grandpappy died of some heart mischief later and his bride got all his belongings and money to soothe her aching heart. She's living in Beverly Hills now. She seems to be doing fine, but she won't return our calls anymore. Speaking of calls...how come you haven't returned any of my calls. I tried to call every hour to check on my status. I even found your home number, but something must be wrong, because it says its disconnected now. If you're having trouble paying those folks at the phone company, never you mind.

Why, once for about three years we had no phones 'cuz daddy couldn't get off'n his lazy butt to go get a job. He even tried doing one of them Wal-mart jobs of saying 'Hey, welcome to Wal-mart', but he kept messing it up. Momma had enough of that. She went out and got herself a new daddy. I don't see him much, but I think he must work all day, since he only comes by at night to call on momma and they go at it like pappy use to with his Russian gal. Funny though, he always sounds different, but momma doesn't mind only seeing him for a few hours every night. One time someone asked her what she did for a living and she said she was in the oldest profession - so I think she's a secretary or something. Anyways, you stop back, okay? Momma would love to talk to you again. She kept ranting about your pretty eyes, but I told her she must be crazy. I'll talk to ya later - when you get your phone undisconnected - and I can't wait to play for you and Florida Southern.

Love ya, man!

I have NEVER seen such a Long and rambling response!!!  I have no idea what it means.....maybe he is wondering if you want to get "Busy" with his Momma?

Maybe he is "ASKING" for an Illegal gift?  Those are my only thoughts....only one serious though!

I am betting it is the Illegal Gift request!

This is a rare email.  Haven't seen this posted on the forums in awhile.  I don't remember if it actually has any significance whatsoever.

It just means that you've spent way more than necessary, and the recruit is merely expressing his appreciation of your undivided attention.

Or that Mama will give you the 25% homecourt discount off the first 15 minutes.

hehe  Classic recruit response.  Like treyomo said, it basically means you've got this guy locked up, but by no means is it a done deal.  You can completely stop putting money into him unless you hear something else from the recruit.  I have lost 2 players over the years after receiving this message, albeit one was when I was at a DII school and a DI poached him late.

", it basically means you've got this guy locked up"
  • Absolutely false.  It is a fairly common, no longer funny, response to a home visit that you are liable to receive whether you are far ahead, in a close battle, or way behind.  Has zero significance one way or the other.
