What does Receiving a Recruiting Letter mean?

If you receive a letter from a coach, are you being recruited?

• Be honored but realize that College Coaches send out thousands of letters to prospects.
  
  
• Receiving a letter means a coach knows your name and that you play his/her sport.
  
  
• Until the coach calls you and tells you he/she is interested or invites you to visit the school, the letter means very little.
  
  
• Respond to the letter or questionnaire and follow-up with the coach.
