Set a High Recruiting Standard Right Off the Bat
The quality of your early contact with a coach sets the standard for your recruiting experience with that college.
To be effective, the tone of your cover letter and follow-up information must demonstrate enthusiasm and determination. Without being in his ear 24/7, show the coach that you are committed to making this happen. If you slack off, it will be perceived as disinterest. So stay with it.
