What's your recruiting strategy?

And if he asks me something I would rather avoid, I change the subject on him by offering him a scholly or promise, or I just change the subject altogether. Use your imagination.

Having coached kids that were being recruited I have seen college coaches leading the conversations. I have held a few calls in my office for players and set in on visits. The coaches ask questions and talk about what their school can do for the kid. They do try to get on a personal level by asking non football related question. As for the pitch side it is all the coach/recruiter.
If the player was leading the way then would they not want to talk about what was high on their list? To me that would be easy. The coach should be in control.

I never said they don't lead conversations.

I am just saying for the sake of the game's difficulty, I look at it in that manner. I think it is fine the way it is; It'll be too easy for users to hammer away on good topics.
