He is also asked if he believes his player could start as a freshman, as a sopho- more, or whether he would be better off at a smaller school. Once contact is made with a top prospect, one of the Michigan coaches will see him play at least once and meet with him and his parents. Correspondence is main- tained throughout the season and arrangements are made for him to visit Ann Arbor. "We are allowed to offer each potential recruit one paid visit to see us for a weekend," said Dutclher. "He'll meet some ball- players, see a game if we're play- ing, and talk to faculty members in his intended field of work." "We let a recruit talk to guys on the team as much as they want to without being there," he related. "We feel that the best way for a boy to find out about our program is to talk to the people directly involved." ..... Only after a recruit has given a special verbal commitment to come to Michigan is he offered a tender. "We offer them room, board, tuition and books," said Dutcher. "Of course there are schools around the country that will give them additional help in the way of cars, spending money or free flights home for vacations, but the Big Ten conference is pure. ''We tell them they're getting a chance to play at a major college with one of the best academic repu- tations in the world. If after we offer them a full-ride scholarship and they still ask 'What else?' we say 'sorry, that's it'."
