Interesting. I am positive the answer is no but that doesn't seem to be supported by others observations.

I have read several posts here on the forums about coaches losing in a battle to a SIM, only to later pull ahead with no additional effort.  It's never happened to me, but I've seen enough posts to trust this does occur.  Think that should give us the answer right there.

im not sure it does - we've also seen the reverse, where humans were winning, and then sims ended up signing. sims are not supposed to put additional effort into a recruit, after their first set of effort, so this makes no sense.

i think its certainly possible they have the same considering credit and there is just a bug or two with respect to how battles shake out between sims and humans.

I have never seen any accounts of the reverse you described, where a SIM jumps ahead of a human.  Would you say this is less common than a human jumping a SIM?

I just had this happen to me... I had an A+ prestige DIII team I took over, had a DII recruit "excited" to be joining my team and couldn't wait for signing day. On signing day, he starts getting luke warm, even with a HV. I was unable to make it to the next recruiting cycle, due to work, and he ended up signing with the SIM team. The next morning. 

The more I play, I wonder if it's just playing percentages with recruiting... If a Sim is putting in consistent effort, it may give them just enough % to pull a recruit sometimes, idk... Just seems that way. 

I think it's much more common for a human to jump a sim, because there are numerous guys here who know the ins and outs enough to know what it takes to guarantee a sim doesnt have a chance.
