Like some of the other readers of this board, I put some stock in who else is recruiting a kid. That list of schools this guy is considering doesn't make him appear to be a top-shelf prospect that we supposedly are going after.

80% of the recruiting info right now is based on questionaire type info about a kid's preferances. You can't tell who is really recruiting a kid until the school offers a visit or a scholarship.

Good point. Should have considered that.
