My son (2007)has received a fair number of letters requesting that he fill out questionnaire or attend a specific camp, etc. He did however receive a letter the other day informing him that he is being "strongly considered as a second signing period prospect" and that he apply to that college. The letter went on to ask for video and recommendations. It seems odd that a college would characterize him as a signing prospect and ask him to apply before looking at recommendations, etc. Any thoughts? Is this a typical letter?

started sending him the standard form letters that they send to about 5000 kids and all the form letters were tossed. For about a year after he was already in college the form letters from this school would still arrive every once in a while, as I guess they had not spit his name out of their computer yet. The funny thing was that all the form letters were sent to "BILLY McMILLON", instead of Brett McMillan. Billy was playing in the big leagues at the time they were sending the form letters. We got a good laugh out of that for a long time.
Another good example to take the letters with a grain of salt! I've shared before about my son receiving an invite to a big showcase this past fall saying that "one or more of these colleges has interest....." and here son was already in college!
