I think you'd be close if you valued it as about the same as a home visit, but that some players care more about it than others
i dont think players have a preference or whatever that impacts the impact of promises. but the relation of the player to the school, in terms of where the player expects to go, and where the school is prestige and division wise, may have an impact, but i don't think it does. the amounts of effort required for certain players to consider or consider you a strong favorite do vary, however, so that may lead to the perception that promises have different levels of value. i could be wrong though, and it could vary.
regardless, i think the value of a start is higher than 1 home visit. i think its at least as much, and probably slightly more than 1 CV or 2 HV.
