One of our players received a letter that formally invited him to a Jr. Day. Good kid and good student but not at that level IMO. Is this a form letter? I have never seen one before that formally invited and talked about being a top recruit in 2016.

It depends on the school. If it is a d3 school it probably is. A d1 there would be some interest. Heres the thing. These big schools commit kids so early ALOT of kids fall through the cracks. Some of these kids will develop into players but since school xx is full at that position they can't take him. Iweighed 205 in hs walked on to a d1aa program and had a nice career

Not exactly a form letter. Send the kid over and let him enjoy the experience. Schools around here tend to invite a lot of kids they're never going to actively recruit or offer, but they're covering their bases. These things are usually good experiences for the kids.

I always say, let em go... if they can compete, then great for the kid... if not, let it be an eye opener.

Usually, there are about 200 kids at these junior days......they are primarily looking for preferred walk on's.

It's like the difference between dredging and trawling. They're probably not inviting every kid they can find, but they're also not parsing through every film out there to hand-write invitations.

honestly i am not sure a top 20 program would invite 200 kids..it would be a mess. i worked at a d1 place 2 seasons ago we jhad 95 up there and it was a mess. it is my opinion we lost a guy to norhwesytern because of it
