one thing i'd like to see, would be in really tight recruiting battles, where the kid is a soft verbal to one school, but has several others listed at -1, the leading school should have to do something special in order to get him to commit. whether this is building a 100 point lead, getting him to visit, finally getting the scholarship offer, or have a monster phone call, idk.....but simply having a 250 point phone call should not be enough to separate that school and get the kid to pull the trigger.

maybe they should tweak it so that patient recruits (ones that dont immediately commit), will only commit once they have both a scholarship offer and campus visit. they could still get to the soft commit stage, but they wont pull the trigger and hard commit without having both the scholly and the visit (maybe even just a scholly offer)?
