TAR,

Sometimes I think "recruiting" gets interpreted as "begging". I'm not saying that you have.

There are schools that you probably are not interested. The coaches don't know if you are or not.

The letter means what it says. They would like to recruit you, please come to a game at our campus, or stop by to visit to see if you like our school.

It gets said on this site that it has to be the right fit. The coaches know that, too.

It has also been noted on this site that many times colleges are selected within 30 seconds after arriving on campus or, in other words, it is an impulse decision. The coaches know that, too.

It's good to visit. You may find out that you don't like the school or you may decide that its the perfect place for you.

Recruiting is just a process like shopping. (The ladies are gonna love that!) The coaches are shopping and so are the families.

Sometimes a deal is struck.
