Sample Player Call:

1)

Thanks for the call coach. I'm a little busy right now, but I am interested in Florida Int. and would like to talk to you again before I make my final decision.

2)
I called Burt Patton 10 times, 4 messages, before he finally called me back. He's pretty sure that he's going to get an offer from a 'big time program' but we are an option for him if that falls through.

In message 1 you can see this player is again recruitable (is this a word? MS Word doesn’t think so), but I’m not winning. In message 2 you see that I’m a ‘back-up’ option if this player doesn’t get the ‘love’ from the bigger programs. If he ever becomes recruitable for me he will send me a message saying so.



So with #2 if I get a hold of a player and he tells me this he will send me a letter late.If the big schools dont come calling,So does this mean that I should not call him any more.As he will do the calling if the time comes???

You are correct.

Personally, if I get the "back upP response and am really interested in the player, I'll continue to recruit and not wait for him to get back to me.

Same. I use scouting trips in this situation.
