Recruited?

The NCAA's definition of "recruited" is satisfied by any of the following:
--If they provide the prospect with an official visit.
--If they have an off-campus contact with the prospect or the prospect’s parents or legal guardians.
--If they offer the prospect a National Letter of Intent or an athletic scholarship agreement.
--If they initiate a telephone conversation with the prospect or his parents or legal guardians more than one time.

The information you've provided so far does not indicate your son is being recruited. How many times have they called?

No phone calls have been made by either party. All communication has been either by e-mail or in person, on campus. An official meeting was mentioned at recent in-person discussion but is hasn;t ocurred as of yet

as per ncaa your son is being recruited

CuChulainn,

You've been given two different answers by Swampboy and TRhit, so I'll add my opinion.

It's great that the HC wants your son in their program! If your son has had multiple e-mail exchanges with the coaching staff, then they are interested in "recruiting" him. However, based on what you've stated, he does not yet fit the definition of a "recruited student-athlete" until one of the four actions in Swampboy's post occur.

The main impact of being a "recruited student-athlete" is that if your son has a possible dream of transferring from Div. II to Div. I, being "recruited" means that he could not be eligible in his first year at a Div. I school. If that's not in his plans, then it really doesn't matter that much whether he is or isn't "recruited".
