I recently started an association with a low-prestige school to see if I could build them up. I'm in season 2 of recruiting and I think maybe 5 of the 30 guys I have on my watch/call list have accepted a visit. Even if the recruit is "Warm", I still can't get them to accept the visit -- and these are in-state 1 star recruits!
What is impacting their decline? Is it the prestige of my school? The recruiting skill of my assistant coach?
