Soft Commit Question

I am recruiting #1 Player in country, a speedy HB. just my style... I've been his #3 then #2, and about 2 weeks after being #2, he is soft to a school, I spent 60 min w/ 2x and got him to be soft commit with me after my previous game. I want to try to lock him down and hard commit. What is the best way to go about it to make sure he doesn't flip on me like he did the previous week? Thanks!

Spend a lot of time with him and make sure he visits your campus.

Re: Soft Commit Question

When it get's close like that the best thing to do is give him as much time as possible. Try to do a lot of comparison pitches to do some damage to your competitor. Every point counts. But above all else, keep hammering away!

Re: Soft Commit Question

make him a promise you feel comfortable with if you havent already. A hour every phone call too and make sure he is number 1 on your recruting board.

Wow....I did not realize that where a recruit is placed on your recruiting board had an effect. Learned something new.
