I would be really wary if a recruiter told me that.. NO amount of heresay means jack. Your recruiter, nor any of the board members even know what will happen later on down the road. This is all due to spring management and the economy. I would NOT go in with the attitude of being confident you will get selected. Timing and numbers wanabee, they will either be on your side, or they won't.
That kinda cracks me up "He say's that from what he has heard I will most likely get a slot." You have much to learn, young padaone.
