It depends, if you really want the guy then yes call every week so he wont lose interest and so he doesnt jus take up a offer

Remember it's a video game so you can't ever really "harass" someone into signing jus make sure when u hang up his football is grinning.
I did this in 08 and i got 23 5* in my 2nd season with michigan

I've often wondered - is this a double edged sword? If you schedule visits for your biggest game, which is often the last game of the season (rivalry), aren't you running the risk of another school coming in and snatching a commitment away in the weeks leading up to the visit?

You sure are. For my top 5 I get them in for my first conference home game. If your rivalry is late in the season, they will have most likely signed by then. A rule of thumb I use is position versus week with your later guys. But that #10 guy should be up to number 1 by week 10 with the guys above him already committing. If you don't think a guy you have at 15 will last until week 8, you probably won't get him.
