This is probably one of the most important things a coach is interested in learning about you. Sure, they want to get to know you, but they also want to know who else is interested. In this situation you want to be honest, but you don’t want to give them every detail about your recruitment. You become a more desirable recruit when other schools, especially rival schools, are recruiting you for a scholarship. A coach will become more interested if they know other schools are in the mix. It shows that you are a solid recruit that is being targeted by the competition. You shouldn’t tell coaches what kind of offers you have from other schools, except that you do or don’t have an offer. Don’t lie about other schools recruiting you either. As competitive as the recruiting game and game days are, college coaches are a tight group. They all hang and run in the same crowds, and even though they might not personally know one another, they know somebody that knows them. So, all they would have to do is make a call to find out whether a certain school is recruiting you. Just be honest from the get go
