Goosegg, how does the hierarchy of interest breakdown for scouts? Just this Spring I've seen among my son's friends (four different players in these examples):

Scouts talking to each other about a player [that is, they're following him, but it's not overt]
A scout introducing himself to a parent, handing a business card, having a conversation about pro ball [overt interest]
Home visit
Cross-checkers showing up at games

1200 kids will get drafted, but the numbers being followed must be 5X that, right?
