[quote=Anonymous]It's amazing to me just how uninformed people are and how many of their impressions are incorrect.

Consider the tiny coaching staffs of most DIII schools versus the ideas on there about DIII recruiting. Most of these schools have a head coach and maybe one or two assistants. The amount of time they can spend on or with a single protect is very limited because there are an ocean of prospects out there because of the growth of the sport.

They depend on casting a broad net and then hoping to find some interested prospects. Schools will send out hundreds letters to just about anyone they can find on any list they have. Those that return the completed questionnaire become possibilities.

They also depend on a few key contacts they have at certain schools. That might be an alum (Coaching or not coaching)  or a head coach they have a history with. The idea here is to find a kid who can play at their level and that would actually consider their school. They may eventually vector in on a few top prospects and call them, send hand-written notes, etc.

Because DIII's don't give scholarships they have no real commitment to a prospect. What they want to do is to get as many kids to apply as they can and then try to sort it out with Admissions.[/quote]
