Can't see how recruits see that as a positive thing.

"I LOVE THE WAY YOU BALL": This N.C. State Recruiting Letter Is Insane (UPDATE: It's A Form Letter)

This photo of a batshit insane recruiting letter comes to us from the Instagram account Dexter Wright, a high school football player who has struck the fancy of N.C. States director of player personnel, Drew Hughes.

Why would a school ever allow that to go out? And it looks like the same letter was sent to multiple people

That's exactly the point. It probably isn't even hand-written but a computer program used to make it appear to be hand-written. Problem is that if you send the same letter to a few recruits and they compare notes, you have been found out to be a fraud.
Very time consuming to personalize every letter to every recruit but this may explain the state of NC State's football program. I certainly hope Nebraska doesn't do this. It is simply lazy.

Yeah it just looks handwritten and then copied. Most recruiting letters are just templates, but trying to make it look handwritten like that is basically saying that recruits are too dumb to think otherwise.
