There is a HUGE difference in contacting a kid and recruiting a kid. Lots of kids get letters from lots of schools...............until a Coach comes to watch a kid play, invites him for an official visit, then offers his a scholarship...........he isn't being recruited. No Head Coach at any level......D-1, NAIA will offer a kid a scholarship until someone he trust, someone from his staff or him personally have watched the kid play. Heck.......I bet half the kids on Paintsville team could take an unofficial visit to a D-1 school. All that means is you pay your way, and maybe you get a couple of comp tickets. It cost the school nothing!

Trust me when I say I know how recruiting at the D-1 level works.
