Want to figure out if a recruit is really interested in you? In this week's #ThursdayThread, I want to give you four signs to look for. 1) The parents reveal what is going on behind the scenes with the process. Specifically, they will share details about who else they are...
...talking to or anything else related to the process of making the decision as to whether or not your college is right for them. Why is it so important to be hearing from the parents, rather than just hearing the same thing from the recruit themselves? Because...
...we find that in most family recruiting decisions, the parents take an overly-active role at the end of the process with the coaches that they are serious about. 2) They ask a lot of questions about money. Or, about details of the scholarship offer you’ve given them.
Why would you want them to ask or argue about money? Because it’s a sign of interest. If they aren’t taking you seriously, they won’t spend time and energy debating you, right? It’s the kids/parents who aren’t asking questions about money that you have to be concerned about.
3) They ask if they can come back to campus one more time. Why? Because they want to make sure they didn’t miss any detail on their original visit(s). It’s an especially strong sign if they ask to see specific things, or talk to specific people, on campus.
4) Their HS or club coach goes out of their way to keep you updated on what the family is thinking. The skeptical side of me will tell you that most coaches just try to keep all the possible fires burning on as many potential college campuses as possible. They are hoping to...
...keep all options open for their athlete. So why should you hold out hope for this sign? Because sometimes, they're doing it to keep you interested in the athlete who they know is going to choose you, but has to wait until they go through the emotional decision making process.
