I had two schollies, three recruits I liked, and I signed two with minimal effort in the first cycle.
The only 'effort' I put into the third recruit was I made a phone call (which he accepted) and got the "do you believe in miracles, coach?" response.
Nobody else wanted the third recruit and I was hoping that he would go juco so I could go ahead and sign him next season (I have 3 departing senior guards and the recruit is a good guard).
My question is this: What would have happened if I had dumped the rest of my recruiting budget into the guard on the last day of recruiting, anticipating that no one else was going to sign him and he'd go juco?
When I looked at the (now a juco) recruit, he is rated in the low 100s for his position, a D1 prospect (I'm D2), and CURIOUSLY, my phone call has gone from an 'accepted' phone call to a 'rejected' phone call in his history.
Would I have received any credit for recruiting efforts made, or would my accepted HVs and CVs have turned into rejected HVs and CVs? Did I make the right move by just taking the carryover money?
Just curious.
