Anyone know roughly the dollar amount spent to get your recruit report to say he's a "lock" or "high priority" for your team?  I'm experimenting a bit, but can't seem to hit that magic figure that gets him off the "very open to other offers" feeback.  I don't think my guys are in danger of a pre-signing poach, but no one can ever be to confident in that regard around here!  Does it take about 5 figures spent to get them locked up?  Does it matter say if its a 3 star vs. a #80 ranked player, not in top 200?

Somewhere around 10 CV moves the message up a level.

Really depends on prestige and how good the player is. An A+ school can get the player in your example to say tight for 10 HVs, usually. But for a 5* guy you would likely need 20 or more. Whereas a B school would need something like 40 HVs to get the 5* guy to be *tight*. 

I'm more in the one star, around or sub 200 rated recruit right now with a D+ rating.  Thx for the feedback.  I will keep at it.

OK. Just pointing out that it's hard to give an exact amount because it varies based on prestige and the recruit level. 

I think it also depends if another school is putting effort into the player also.
