"Coach, you've sold me, but another school is doing a great job of selling their program too. I just can't decide yet."

I think I'm winning, right?

Is he considering any other schools? When does the signing period start in your world?

Signing started last night. He is considering another school. This was my backup player and another coach decided to jump on him after I lost my D2 pulldown.

what does the FSS 'word on the street' say? I've never actually been in a recruiting battle before, I go to great lengths to avoid them.

Ok got it, I am winning it looks like. It was saying he was struggling between me and the other school before the 2:30 update.

You should only use the scholarship emails to gauge your position in a battle. They are the only messages that are100% accurate.

I think it is the scholarship email.

Here is the first:

Coach, I really appreciate you having enough faith in me to extend me a scholarship offer. I hope that you have enough faith to wait for me to visit some other schools - they really have made their programs sound great and to be honest, I'm not sure where I'll be next year.

"'Word on the Street' as of 8/31 2:13 pm EDT: Our sources are saying that he's definitely leaning towards playing at Transylvania."

I'm pretty sure I'm winning.

Usually when I get that message, I think that I'm trailing, but not by much.    You might be winning or losing, but either way, my guess is that it's close.
