[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fascinating and (unlike so many other DCUM threads) looks legitimately useful to potential recruit families. Worthy of being pegged up at FAQ if it doesn't go south.[/quote]

lol. Its full of wild speculation and individual anecdotes. I'd take it with a giant grain of salt. Real stars get recruited and they already know. There are very, very few kids that meet this standard.

Most of the rest of you are quality filler the coach is trying to attract to ensure he or she has options in the future. You aren't getting money, you might get some admissions help but honestly there are so many good athletes that are also good students, its often unnecessary.  They're hoping that by showing interest, that your going to apply and attend because then you are in that pool of talent and *importantly* NOT in the other school's pool of talent.

Its zero investment on the coach/school to sweet talk a MS kid and a lot of those kids will be smitten and think they are some kind of star. [/quote]
