You talked about using the auto-call, primarily when it comes to learning what the recruit likes. I usually have a different strategy, especially if I'm trying to come from behind - I pitch everything and see how the recruit reacts - the pitches that get 60 - 80 points (depending on how good the pitch it) are usually high - most, and the lower ones arent. Then when it's getting close to his visit is when I try to confirm the pitches I think are high - most by asking the recruit. This way I can get a little bit extra in terms of points, since asking gets you less points I've found. Just my $0.02, good read though
