You won't be able to knock them off completely. When the recruit is ready to sign (based on preference and RNG) he will sign with a team that is either high or very high at that point (and have offered a scholarship). If you're the only one who meets that criterium, he signs with you. If other teams also meet it, there is a roll of the dice based on percentages. You will see those percentages after the signing if you were in the running.
