Some will commit after the first home visit, some will require multiple visits, some won't commit until the L.O.I. signings, and some won't commit until the Spring signing period. Usually, if you're in first place after the Fall contact period, you'll land the recruit eventually (always try to make a follow-up visit in March if they haven't signed).OneNole wrote:So if they don't commit during thr in home visit they wont commit?
...And the really, really great prospect that you thoroughly scouted will turn out to be crap, while the kid that you didn't give a second look to will sign for a rival team and kill you for 4 years. (but I digress)
To add to the ND State discussion: Only one in four recruits will be a good player, one will be a fringe player or sub, one will have great potential but never develop, and one will be a downright bust. Sometimes the lower ranked players will turn out to be the best players, so every scholarship might matter.
