If I break it down and roughly assign AP for each recruiting action:

Team A
1223: AP
150: scholarship
150: 20 min
1000: 20 HV
125: CV
2648

Team B
578: AP
150: scholarship
200: 25 min
200: Start
1000: 20 HV
125: CV
2253

About an 18% edge for team A.

When factoring in preferences, and how they equate to additional Prestige, the bump for team B is around 400. Give or take ~100 or so. Very Good for one team may not be equal to Very Good for another

Making it dead even at 2648 vs 2653.

What would you say is the primary factor here that caused my AP to not mean much?

It's possible St. John's has Very Good for success and Good for Perimeter Offense, but he hasn't answered me about those, so I can't be sure.

It seems like the extra minutes and the start are potentially massive.

I convert all effort into HV equivalents.

I count the starts and 25 minutes equal to a CV (~3 HV).

I make 60 AP's a HV.

I put the difference in preferences at about 6%.

My back of the napkin math but the final at 45-43.

But OW's math is probably more accurate than mine.

Very interesting. I guess I'll be handing out promises like candy from now on!
