does anyone know whether the evals give an indication whether an ineligible will sign or go juco? specifically, here are the (what i believe to be relevant) messages from the evals:

BTW, I sat next to his girlfriend's mother at the game and she really loves him. Couldn't talk enough about how much of a gentleman he was.
 
Somewhat related, seems like your average kid when it comes to playing time, starting, etc.
 
Just FYI, he kept staring up at me - guess he wanted to make sure I was still in the gym. He seems really high [team] from what I can tell.
 
Somewhat related, he still rides the bus to school every day. Normally you don't see a star athlete riding the bus - kind of cool if you ask me.


thoughts?

Hmmm, I don't know.

I would expect that the rides the bus and nice guy type of things would mean the player is more likely to show up, but I have no clue.  I would be most worried about the extremely materialistic ones that read something like 'recruiting is a bidding game and whoever spends more gets me' or the throwback jersey one.

Unless it changed with the last engine update, those positive messages would indicate that a player was more receptive to being redshirted.

I'm not sure if there's a correlation to going JUCO, however

I agree with alblack, those messages mean he would red shirt from my experience.

don't go to far with those messages. They may mean he is more likely to sign than some kids with the messages about the biggest tattoo or whatever they are, but there are other unknown factors and chance plays a role, so no guarantees...
