Identified = We know who you are
When does he play? Come to our camp.
Evaluated = We are evaluating you
Show up at your games. Come specifically to see you play.
Interest = We are interested but have yet to make a decision based on many factors.
Contact is made to let you know they are interested. Relationship building takes place in case they decide you are a player they want to recruit. Things are said and done to keep you interested while they buy time on the decision process. Remember, what other players do can have an impact on what they do with you.
Recruited = We know who you are = We have evaluated you = We have moved past the interest phase = We are offering you what we are prepared to offer.
