How pushy is too much?

My daughter has received several recruiting emails from the team at the school she wants to attend. These included notification (but not an invitation) for upcoming prospective recruiting weekends. She also received an email that invited potential recruits to call an open line discussion each week. She has emailed with the assistant coach, but gets a general “thanks we have your information” type of response - and also tried the open line discussion, which went to voicemail - with no return call back. We are confused, to say the least, that they keep sending the open recruiting emails to her, but then give a very cool response when she tries to connect with them. We really just want to know either way - is she a candidate or not?

So, how much should we push in this space (also to be clear, she is doing the communicating with the team, not us)! Should she keep reaching out until they give her a firm response? Or are we supposed to be “taking the hint” even though she keeps getting these recruiting emails from the team?

Not the time to be shy. She should participate in all the discussion times, ask a few questions that are about the team Where do you see the biggest change in this year’s team? What positions will you be looking for?

I don’t think being pushy will hurt her. Be polite, be interested. Don’t make it ‘State U or bust’, make sure she’s got other schools on her list and that she keeps in contact with them too
