We sent out e-mails during the summer. Figured a lot of the coaches were on the recruiting trail during the summer. Not always in the office but usually able to read their e-mail.
It's been three years since my son's experience, but he found that letters were read and e-mail responses were rare. May have to do with the relative age of the coaches.
