What has more value when recruiting a guy: a HV or an eval+10 min promise

I would go with the HV

What is the distance

does it matter? It's 180 miles, but I don't know why it matters A HV is an HV, no matter how far away you are right? I was just thinking that if I gave him some HVs, I would have enough money to give 1 more HV or an eval, 10 promised minutes, plus probably another couple phone calls or promise minutes again if he didn't accept.

See, here's where it'd be nice to know exactly what each form of recruiting means, and on top of that, HVs, CVs, EVALS, etc all seem to mean something different for each player, and I don't like that one bit either. As I've always contended...recruiting is too complex for its own good.

HV definitely. With some kids, you don't get any value for the promised minutes. A HV is worth 5-10 times an eval, according to some past forums.

im pretty sure that last bit is wrong. i think the sentiment comes from how much effort it takes to pull a guy down, and i feel that way of thinking is based on incorrect assumptions.

hell yes it matters a hv at 2000 miles cost how much? If he is on your screen why would anyone use a eval?

brian you are doing great but i totally disagree on that last note. evals are the ****.

also tkimble you are right it doesnt matter how far in the base question. none of those things are impacted by distance in terms of considering credit, at least to my knowledge. cost is, but that isn't the question.

Cost is everything imo. If a player is on your screen I dont see any advantage to using evals as way to get consideration. Now if he is pulling the guy down then evals are the only way to go. Evals offer alot of info but as far as cost vrs a visit the vists offer more weight. And why a HV a Cv or 2 may be more effective so distance is a huge factor along with what screen the guy is on.

I should have wordered my answers differently but Im not that articulate

he was just asking which is worth more. not which is more efficient for the money. and that has nothing to do with distance :)

yeah visits are definitely better for the $$ for considering credit. but i spend probably about 20 times as much on evals as home/campus visits in d2. if not more. so i would be reluctant to call them useless or anything similar (why would anyone use an eval?)

I agree with this and do the same. Evals are not worthless but I meant I would never consider them the over a visit for someone on the d2 screen
