are draft numbers up? are recruiters meeting quota?

I don't keep numbers of this sort, but I do read the newspaper, daily.  Two days ago, the army indicated that it had surpassed it's last recruiting quota.  All of the other services have had no trouble meeting quota.  The army has always had the biggest challenge because of it's size,  I believe the army may have relaxed some of its criteria for recruitment.  This certainly would have helped it to achieve its numbers.  No, this isn't a guess, unless the newspapers are getting bad info.

Too much hype. That's the way it is for MOST that are  projected to go #1 in the draft.

Hmmm... mind you, this is not a scientific calculation, but since the US population is 298,201,327, even if we assume that 20% of the population is under 20, that leaves 59,640,265. Then, let's assume that 1 percent of those people are even capable of playing ball, you have 596,403 candidates. Then assume 1 percent of that population plays ball well: 5,964. Then, assuming 30 NBA teams with a roster of 15 players per team: 450 players.\n\n450 roster spots for 60 million Americans... you can see that the chances are slim.\n\nBut, if you start in the 6th grade (or earlier), you have a better chance than someone who waits until they're in their teens.\n\nStill, it's better odds than someone has of making it to NASCAR Cup racing...

well, in both wars people joined willingly at first, then the draft was initiated when people stopped joining in large amounts. in both wars conscription was effective, you cant really compare it because each war needed different things, but overall it was highly effective. We gained the troops needed, trained them and won the war.

Check out the recruiting statistics from each school - where do they mostly place, how many students have a job right at graduation, 3 months after 6 months after, and 1 year after.  That should give you an idea of the quality, and also the real prospects for graduation.  I assume starting salary will be very comparable.

There's 60 picks in the draft.  About 40 of them will be college players, maybe 20 of them are in the tournament, with the others coming from teams that didn't make it.  The rest will be foriegn players.  A few may try out as unrestricted free agents as well.

My first thought is that they are jerking you around.  But, having to deal with interviews myself, I realize people don't have time to waste on such things.  They must be interested.  You are right on the brink of getting in, but there could be something on their side that does not allow an immediate hire.  Keep your patience.  Continue to show eagerness.  It should work out.  If nothing else, it is good practice for the next time.

The job market is saturated right now (more applicants than jobs). Keep looking, something will come along.

You have to weed out some applicants when there are too many to enroll...what else would you recommend? Race, gender? NOT!

It may be that the entire league isn't ready.  A similar thing happened to me in a head-to-head league, and it turned out that there were an uneven number of teams in the league, and Yahoo wouldn't begin the draft.\n\nBut other than that I can't help you, sorry.

It means that they have more interviews and you might not be the top choice right now but that you might get a call too.\nDo not worry too much but do not give up your job search just yet.\nGood luck!

Talk to a recruiter they will know.

No, there is no draft, therefore they signed up of their own freewill. It does not exempt them.\n\nBanger, seriously since you asked this under law & ethics and are getting alot of yes's verus my only no- please post under military, perhaps active duty people or vets can help you better.

Sorry.  The draft is great if you know what to look for.  It's how teams work their future.  If you watch college football, you get to respect certain players.  Then you get excited to see that player join your team.  OR you get upset to see that player join another team in your division.
