Short YouTube clip by Trent Lore (former college quarterback) giving recruiting advice: coaches often forget recruits because they juggle many prospects, so recruits should proactively and periodically remind coaches of their interest rather than assuming lack of care after a single unanswered message.

I see this one thing happen in recruiting way too much, and you need to avoid it as much as possible first, if you don't know who I am, I'm Trent Lore. I'm a former college quarterback, and now I help recruits just like you get college football scholarships. So one thing that happens is coaches forget about players in the recruiting process. You may think that it's not possible, or it's just that they don't care. Ultimately, they're recruiting like hundreds and hundreds of kids at the same time. Of course they're going to forget one. The last thing you want is for you to be that one that gets forgotten. I talk to so many recruits and they always tell me, oh, yeah, this coach is ghosting me and this and that. And though, yeah, that, that might be true, most of the time it's just because you sent one text, they didn't respond back, and you got upset at them like your girlfriend would get upset at you. Instead, don't be afraid to remind them every once in a while that you're there. They have busy schedules. They have a lot going on on their plate. Just because you're not one of their top recruits doesn't mean you can't continually text them throughout the recruiting process. And trust me, if they actually like you, they'll like that because they know that you're on top of it, that you are interested in their program. Because if they forget about you after one text message and then you never text them, they.
