Grace Batcheller slayed today as she delivered a masterpiece none other than Picasso could’ve painted! Gifford with three runs scored and Lukes with a triple. Not a bad way to celebrate a birthday for them both.

We started talking...

It felt like we clicked...

Then I even went out to visit...

But then I got ghosted and never heard back...

I'm talking about recruiting...

Not dating.

It's comical how similar they are.

It's a Numbers Game

People say, "Dating is a numbers game" and that "You have to get used to rejection".

It's the exact same for recruiting.

Send out that post.

Send that DM.

Send that text.

If you get no response, send another one.

Send out as many DMs as possible to give yourself the best shot.

Don't Fall In Love Too Early

You get a reply back from a Power 5 school!

You're hyped up about it.

You're doing research on dorms, the facilities, what classes you would take.

You already see yourself there.

Then they never respond to any of your follow-up messages...

You're heartbroken.

This has happened to me plenty of times.

It goes back to the 1st Law of Recruiting:

It's normal for things to not work.

So expect them to not.

Do everything you can to make it work, but if it doesn't don't get discouraged just keep looking for the right school.

So don't forget, recruiting is just like dating.

I'm restarting my recruiting

0 interest. 0 offers.

I am going to take you all on a journey to building it back up (as if you never knew who I was)

In a 365-day time frame, I will have interest from over 100+ coaches and have received 25+ scholarship offers.

All through a single roadmap

If this was really happening, here's how I'd build myself back up:

I am going to break this down into 3 main stage

1. No interest or offers
2. Some interest and have 0-2 offers
3. 5+ offers

The strategy is different based on the interest level

Stage 1:
When I have no interest at all (First 90 days).

My goal is simple: Get as much interest as possible and build relationships with them.

How can I do this?

To get interest here's the strategy:

• Post 2X/week on Twitter
• DM 20 coaches everyday
• Email 20 coaches everyday
• Fill out 5 questionnaires
• Follow up with those DMs and emails every week

To build relationships:

• Constantly check in with the coach
• Do your research on the school and the coach to show your interest
• Ask great questions

Stage 2:
When I have some interest and 0-2 offers (Day 90-180):

The strategy is now more focused on NURTURING AND GROWING.

What do I mean by this?

You have interest from coaches but it doesn't mean that they are ready to offer.

I need to be focused on building relationships and figuring out who is actually interested:

• Continue to build interest elsewhere to show demand
• Become more aggressive in your recruiting
• Ask questions that either get you closer to an offer or closer to the truth

Stage 3:
When I have 5+ offers (Day 180-365):

When you hit the point of 5+ offers, your goal is to get more opportunities and find the best for you.

This happens through:

• Going on visits
• Finding the best school for you
• Continuing to DM coaches from the next level up
• Following up with offered schools
• Building relationships with the offers you have
• Being more aggressive with schools who haven't offered
• Negotiating on scholarships (if needed)

This is the roadmap I'd follow.

If you have any questions, drop them below.
