No rules but professional advice for college recruiters Recruit the family and student athlete even if the player commits and even signs.. maintain that relationship into their current assignment. Maintain contacts, and if they change their mind, it might be a place back here. This is completely different than most fans are trained on....best retainer, great outreach on initial recruiting, maintain that consistent attitude, have a great amazing environment at the school and have a charismatic and exciting coach, and win. and a competitive nil program
