Any thoughts on the final line of the scouting report by the coach like:  he'll be a "DII all-american when it done, maybe a decent DI player" vs. "he'll be a decent DII player but i can't see any of the big boys going after him"

 Does the summary line indicate the first player would be better??  I just hate to keep putting in big bucks to for scouting reports so I can see more of what this international player has in other areas (and sometimes getting screwed by getting repeat eval info).  Obviously when FSS is used we can better assess the players but in this case it costs a lot to keep scouting those not covered by FSS.

basically, does that final line mean anything to trust when making a decision like this?

They mean nothing.

I generally just take that in terms of where he is in terms of dropping or getting pulled down

Player 2 sounds ready to drop where as D2 may have to be pulled etc...

In the end yea there is not much to it other  than it is generally part of a multiple sentence part where you just see where the player is since it is usually included in the paragraph with something like by the way I sat next to his dad and he said we have a great shot.

The useless info is from the original dilemas, was used before potentials. They may have left it in figuring taking it out of the code may be difficult or not worth the hassle.

yeah. sometimes the last line is something about NBA, and im not convinced that is totally 100% meaningless, but, it is at least close because so damn many players have it. maybe there is some small usefullness to be found somewhere but you'd really have to look for it, i think.

as stated before, I think these are meaningful only in regards if they drop down or not.  I.e. the message you got indicates he'll never go D3
