It really should not be that hard to have a selection checkbox where you can pick 3 or 4 things you want to look at for a scouting trip.  Once used, on the next trip, those are greyed out.  Pretty simple and if I am sending an assistant coach, I would certainly tell him .. look at this guy's rebounding or ATH, etc.  Makes no sense why this is not a top priority.

Yes, especially at the D3 level where money is so crucial anyway.  You want to spend your 10+ STs on guys you are trying to pull down, not a D3 kid you could be interested in if he has high/highs 20 miles up the road...

I like the random feel to the  ST, sure it's frustrating but it adds a human element.....I have scouted 100's of kids and after one trip  not been able to get a good feel for "x" or "y".....in many cases I have been wrong on my initial scout......with that being said, I have never not noticed something major after 20 trips :)

If you mean more realistic by saying human element, I guess that is true.  It is certainly less clear what the player will be.  That is realistic. Its kind of lke Ryan Harrow for John Calipari at Kentucky.  He brought in Harrow to the PG, had him on the team practicing for a year during his "sit out" transfer season and thought he would be a good PG, and he completely fell apart when he started playing.  Ended up that UK missed the NCAA Tournament that season.

So even the best coach, when hand picking their star player, can misjudge and make mistakes.  If the ST fuzzyness is meant to duplicate that, it works.
