Cheapest way to be considered (other than start) Topic

Late in recruiting, will a recruit consider you with just a scholarship and guaranteed minutes, rather than a start?

Also, how many letters/ phone calls does it take late in the game?

The 40-40 thing always work. So it's 1100

Late in the game I have gotten kids to sign for  10 calls, 20 letters and some minutes....I have never had a guy sign with just minutes but some guys say they have.

i've had guys sign late with a scholarship and maybe 5 calls 5 letters. not exactly choice recruits but signed nonetheless.

I haven't paid attention in a while, but I am think you can get a guy with HV, scholarship, and 1 phone call.  that is a reasonable price.

For sure you can get them with 1 HV (~$350), 10 calls ($100) + 10 letters  ($150) +  scholarship ($100) (which could be around $700).

Cheapest I have got was 1 HV 1st and scholly was around 650 but can't remember exact about.

Well you can always spend $110 and get them with a promised start and a scholarship.  One time I offered only a scholarship to a player some time during recruiting and he eventually signed with me.  So, I was able to sign a guy for the absolute bare minimum of $100.  He ended up being a worthwhile recruit, but certainly no superstar.

Currently I'm trying to get a recruit for 40 phone calls, I think 6 letters, and a scholarship but after 2 cycles of effort I'm still not on his radar

I've gotten many many guys to sign with just minutes and a start.  Some will balk at the idea then sign with the guaranteed start, but I have signed many guys with only 10 minutes and a start...and done it very recently also

In D3, I had a guy sign for a call and a start.  First recruiting class I ever had.  Didn't know what I was doing and ran out of money. Turnedout to be a decent player and still on record books at the school.

I just signed a guy for guaranteed (10) minutes and a scholarship. He has a lot of potential, but probably won't turn into a star.

10 calls, 10 letters, 10 calls to the coach and a scholly offer gets him for 470...done it many many times when i bombed in recruiting

I've don a scholarship and a phone call, and the guy was a gem in the dirt (7 high potential areas), turned out to be pretty good.
