D1 coaches usually narrow down their choices ABC. A is the guy they want. You know if you are an A guy. YOU KNOW. B is their choice if A goes somewhere else. C is the guy they offer when A and B say no. C more than likely may get 25% at a D1or a walk on opportunity and maybe nothing at a D2. He may all of a sudden get that call when he thought the coach moved on. But he can easily be replaced the next year by the freshman who was the A recruit who accepted.
As far as job opportunities most employers will let you know where you stand for the position. Recently son was hired for a coaching position over 3 potential applicants, which he was told during the interview process. That was from a list of 122 total resumes emailed to the HC.
So during the recruitng process, think about how many guys the coach saw before he narrowed the choice down to 3, or 4! If this is some place that you want to go play and attend school, go for it, but remember if you are that C guy work know your role and work your butt off!
FWIW, good recruiters will never tell you where you fall on their board, except if you are their #1 guy.
