If you give three scoutign reports, and on the first two it mentions "YOua re definitely a backup". . . and on the third it doesn't mention you being a backup at all, does that mean he is actually considering you at that point?>

No. If he begins considering you, it will tell you under "considering".

Just to be sure though, what exactly did the 3rd email say?

It was just a normal evaluation. I know he isn;t CONSIDERING me, but I wanted to figure out if that meant he woudl accept inducements other than scoutign trips.

First two included this line at the end:


BTW, I saw the list of other coaches that were at the game, we're not really even in their league. We are pretty securely a backup option with this kid.

THe third one did not include it.

nope means nothing

Ok. DOne pulldowns, just never really paid attention to that on the scouting report before.

When a prospect stops considering you as a back-up and now is willing to talk he will normally send something saying he is now in your league, etc., etc. You'll know. There is a big difference, though, in a prospect that has dropped down and will take visits, etc. from DII or DIII and a player that is considering YOU.
