qvt1c, here is the Reader's Digest version for pulldowns:
Understand that some of the players you see as DII players with your C+ prestige may be on the DIII list for higher prestige schools.
Understand that there is always a risk that a DII school or higher prestige DIII school may jump in on you but also understand that pulldowns are the best way to become/stay competitive.
Stay within 350 miles of your campus, otherwise it becomes too expensive. The closer the player is to your campus the less expensive he will be to recruit.
Look at the overall total of the highest 4-year DIII player you can see on your list.
Add 10 points to that total and that should roughly give you an idea of the highest player rating to look for in DII. (Add 25 points if the player is within 70 miles of your campus).
Use the search filters and narrow down the list based on your position needs.
Once you have identified some potential DII players, send them each one (1) phone call.
When you get the feedback, forget about any player who does not respond or who responds negatively. Those who say you are a backup can be pulled down.
Decide which of the players who said you are a backup you want to go after and send them 1 phone call, 1 letter, 1 coach call, 10 scouting trips, and the schollie offer.
This will likely get you on their considering list and then you can just recruit normally. If this doesn't get you on their considering list then send a couple more scouting trips each cycle until they do consider you. There is no need to send Home Visits or Campus Visits to pull down a player. There is no need to offer starts or promise minutes.
Other coaches may use variations of this method but this is what has worked successfully for me even at low prestige levels.
