highheat15 posted:Simple fact of the matter: very few programs recruit to the 35 man limit. It should be a major point of discussion with an HC/RC in the recruiting process as outside of any scholarship money they invest in you it's the biggest barometer for knowing how much they see you as truly part of the team.
I don't see how this discussion would go. If a coach awards a scholarship to a player, why is it relevant if the coach is also recruiting a bunch of other kids, even at the same position? It's the coaches job to play the best players, and the kids job to compete to be one of those best players. If the coach doesn't think the kid can contribute, than he won't give a scholarship offer, and if the kid doesn't think he can compete in that program he shouldn't accept.
What's the point of asking a coach how many other kids he's bringing in or how many at my position? I'd expect the coach to say he wants multiple players competing for time...not sure what's to be learned from this discussion.
