. . I saw a list of how to translate the "Low high and high high scouting trip messages.  Can anyone tell me where it is?

And which is this one?

- Defensive fundamentals need work - if he's willing to listen, we could really see some major improvement.

Athleticism
 - "I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he could improve substantially if he really works at it." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "unless I'm an idiot and/or this is the laziest kid ever, we can *dramatically* improve his athleticism." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Speed
 - "with the right diet and conditioning he could be MUCH quicker than he is today" (LOW-HIGH)
 - "if he works hard at it, we could see *massive* improvement here" (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Rebounding
 - "based on my experience, he can still improve substantially if we work with him and he's willing." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "there's no reason to NOT expect HUGE improvement here." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Defense
 - "if he's willing to listen, we could really see some major improvement." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "I really think we could see massive improvement by his Senior year." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Shot Blocking
 - "has a LOT of room for growth with the right drills and coaching." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "he's shown glimpses of raw ability which make me think he just has *tremendous* room for improvement." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Low-post
 - "has a LOT of room for growth with the right drills and coaching." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "sky's the limit." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Perimeter
 - "I know this may sound crazy, but I think he has the potential to really improve his shot." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "I see such solid fundamentals that with enough practice I don't see why he can't be a *significantly* better shooter than he is today." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Ball Handling
 - "with the right drills and assuming he's willing to put in the time, I see big upside." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "he has the raw skills to make me think he has *tremendous* upside." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Passing
 - "I'd like to see him play more, but still, I really think we could see fairly significant improvement." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "with more experience I expect to see TREMENDOUS improvement." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Stamina
 - "even with that, I think we can really improve upon his conditioning." (LOW-HIGH)
 - "with the right diet and drills, I think we can see a *dramatic* change in his conditioning." (HIGH-HIGH)
 
Durability - none
 
Free Throws
 - "the fundamentals look solid, with time and coaching, he could really show some improvement." (only one)

I was sort of aiming to up my overall athleticism for next season, I'm hoping all the high potential in ATH and DEF will help me get a decent defensive team.

I like that you focused on ath and defense. My only gripe is that I'm not sure I would have signed Camargo

I actually didn't mean to.  I apparently failed to remove his scholarship and he signed. . I was wanting to get this guy instead. . .

  Current
Rating		 Potential     Current
Rating		 Potential
Athleticism 46 High   Perimeter 1 Low
Speed 15 Low   Ball Handling 10 Average
Rebounding 49 High   Passing 1 Low
Defense 38 High   Stamina 79 Low
Shot Blocking 32 Average   Durability 66 High
Low-post 53 Low   FT Shooting   High

 . . and had enough money left for pursuing him.  Annoyed me that I made that mistake.

I'm just hoping that, since I didn't get scouting reports on Carmago's defense, LP or PER that one or two of them are high highs. . . .  If I have to, I'll cut Carmago;  I actually have enough money left over that I was saving to pursue the other player that I could still recruit even having no supplemental scholarship money.
