How much does probation hurt recruiting?
I'm currently a D3 school with "A" prestige and there is a D2 school with "C-" prestige who is on Probation (10/8). He's a little bit closer geographically, but it's close. The last scholarship message I got from the recruit was - "Coach, if this was a race, you'd be leading! Looking forward to the signing period."
Would the D2 school have to significantly outspend me moving forward in order to steal him away?
