Now, the rest of the schools that did not will copy Bama & Tennessee with the next big recruit. That poor guy will probably get over a thousand letters from just a handful of schools.
Recruiting is a competitive business but it is also a foolish business at times.

But then, I'm not a parent of a recruit and apparently the kids get a kick out of it. Go figure.

In more cases than not, Droner, the egos of the parents of recruits are just as big as those of the recruits. They love the attention.

Good recruiters learn quickly whether the kid and his parents have large egos or whether they don't. Just like in any sales job, the recruiting coaches have to learn what it is going to take to close the sale.

Which is probably a good sign... :dunno: :thumbup:
