Does the sim operate blind?

Player owned teams cannot see how much AP other schools have put onto a recruit. Theoretically, neither can sim teams. However, since the sim teams are a part of the game, do they "cheat" and "look" at the AP and visits of other schools to help their decision making process? Or are they operating on the same information as us, which is just monitoring interest levels and taking educated guesses of the other teams' efforts?

Example :
Let's say a user is targeting two 'identical' recruits, the user is the only team on either recruit. Both have been offered scholarships, and both have had the same amount of AP to this point. Now lets say the user starts putting 99% of his AP on Player A, and 1% on Player B for multiple cycles. Are the sims "smart" enough to pick up on this? Is it now more likely that a sim team will jump on Player A vs Player B?

Additionally, I'm looking for any information regarding sim recruiting logic. I'm not very familiar with how they make decisions.

PS I know sim teams aren't really a threat, I would just like to understand more about how they think.

Thanks!
