Ever seen this with recruiting?

I'm going to go ahead and post my guess before some real answers get posted.

I'm guessing the questionnaires were for the HC to fill out to the best of his ability.  I imagine a kid's HC could probably complete 75%+ of the standard questionnaire content.

I'm not entirely sure he was supposed to see the HC's form. It asked a lot of character detail as well as detailed questions concerning his statistics, which surprised me.

I would say it is good news but not to read too much into it.  My son did see questionnairres that were different/more detailed from schools/coaches who had seen him and had him on their board....vs. the generic one that is on the website.  In some cases, he was closely followed by those schools and in others he never heard from them other than email traffic.  Son's Catcher on HS team is also D1 commit.  He did not play on a high profile travel program regularly like my son did, so several schools interested in him went via the HS coach (same, sent form, asked for transcript) vs. via travel coach.  Think of the RC's job like that of a sales man pursuing prospective new clients (recruits).  It is a numbers game.  They get leads, some are warmer and more qualifide than others (seen him play, have heard he is a stud, saw video, read PG write up, etc.).  Think of a coach reaching out to HS coach as another "channel".  Again, it certainly isn't bad news, and your son should follow up directly with the coach if he has interest in the school, but I would not read too much into it.

I just found it interesting. A few schools have called the HC at our school to ask questions and, we've received the generic camp invites. I just hadn't heard much about these. Honestly, the questionnaire reminded more of the one the Nationals scout asked him to fill out. I hadn't seen a college questionnaire that wanted some of the info they wanted.

Side note: The MLB questionnaire he was given actually asked for his My Space account info. They might want to update those.

agree it is interesting, out of norm.  curious to know what school did...not curious enough to ask you to post, but curious.  good luck.

My son received several of those.  Some mailed to the school and some were mailed to our home, but had forms that it specified to be filled out by the HC and were heavily slanted toward coach's input on attitude, leadership, stats, etc., etc.  More like the "essay" portion of an exam.  Those were also schools that followed up with the HC and/or travel coach to have my son contact them to talk.

We received offers from all of the schools that were providing that level of questionnaire.  I'd assume those are the schools seriously interested in courting your son and not just looking for a date on match.com.

2018 received a letter similar to these mentioned.  It said that they had seen him play, would like for him to fill out questionnaire and give the coach his questionnaire to fill out and return. Also, mentioned the no contact rule, but gave  numbers for RC and HC... I felt it was at least a very good feeler letter.

On the other hand 2018 has been told on a couple of occasions that "if" he was to call said coach right now, there's a great chance they would answer. 

2014 was getting hand written letters and phone calls as soon as they could call.  that's when you kinda know.  When they make an offer that's when you really know.

That's the difference for me....
