I have been battling a SIM for a D3 recruit, I didn't think it would be nearly this difficult. 

The word on the street went from him leaning to St. Scholastica to the one below.

The latest word on the street: 'Word on the Street' as of 1/22 2:11 pm EDT: Our sources believe that he's struggling between St. Scholastica and Nebraska Wesleyan.

Will the sim continue to pump effort into him? I have done 10 home visits, and 9 scouting trips and I am not sure if I will be able to pull this off and I don't want to have to offer a guarantee of minutes.


Any insight would be helpful, thanks in advance!

why would use you use scouting trips in a battle? What does the scholarship msg say.

At the 5 p.m. cycle: Coach, thanks for the scholarship offer - I wish I could sign right now!

He was a pull down, that was the reason for all the evaluations.

you're in the lead, but only slightly i'd say. SIM won't put more effort in on a regular basis (I think there's one more moment of effort, but that might only be to go for undecided players-- anyone enlighten me there?)... If I were you I'd continue with a call a cycle or so to make sure you're monitoring his attitude, and wait for him to sign. Maybe one more HV or CV (distance/cash dependent) to tighten things up if you're not worried about using the money elsewhere.
