+1 - No way this should happen. I'd even say that if the D2 was very high and the others were high, though I would not feel as strongly. My main desire is for as much realism as is possible in a sim game.

ONE player proves ... nothing. At. All.

LOL. You've now reached Coach Ward levels of stupidity.

So you agree that oldman shouldn't even be at MSU? And recognize that maybe a dozen or so real life coaches have been at their jobs as long as you've been at GaTech?

Why can't you just discuss the topic at hand instead of trying to deflect to something else?

oldman doesn't want realism. 47th season at MSU. When has that happened?

The other two D1 probably do want realism. They've been at their schools less than 30.

Nothing to do with the problem... argument : invalid. You have seen too much of Rousey's performances.

I thought we were talking about realism.

Keep up.

We're talking about a top end recruit deciding to go to a D2 school that was at 'high' instead of one of the three major D1 schools that were listed as 'very high'.

You know it's a bullshit occurrence so you try to defect to the longevity that a person has been at a school.

Talk about the topic at hand, which is a top end recruit deciding to go to a D2 school that was at 'high' instead of one of the three major D1 schools that were listed as 'very high'..

Don't dive into his deflection vortex.

Still a result that should not happen. But I am sure efforts were minimal from
D1

Realism, right?

I agree that it would never happen in the real world. But, without question, the D2 school dumped tons of resources into the player and the 3 D1s came late to the party. IOW, not one of them contacted the player in RS1. So, is it realistic that a school would ignore a kid for months on end, not even a letter, text or phone call, then jump on him late? Of course it isn't. That would also never happen.

Sure it is realistic if the school had a last minute roster change (ie: a player getting expelled from the school), they would start recruiting someone they previously didn't even have a spot for and therefore showed no initial interest. In the real world once those 3 Big 6 schools came offering scholarships, the kid would be thrilled at how much of a better opportunity he was getting, not go to a lowly D2 school just because they showed him initial interest.

D2 is healthy. No need to beat D1 teams on stars players... plenty to choose from!

Then I'm sure you can find an example of a kid saying "Yeah, Michigan hadn't contacted me at all up until the week before signing day. In fact, not a single D1 school had talked me. Boy, I was thrilled!!!"

I'll wait here.

Honestly, I'd STFU about this is there was some mechanism where a school had to contact a recruit in the first session in order to actually recruit him in the second session. Doesn't even have to be AP(although that's all that's in place). Maybe a "targeting" option, free of charge, with a limit on how many. Let MSU target 50, or a 100, recruits in session 1. But, as long as MSU has made no contact with a player until RS2, I could care less when they lose to a D2 that's been pumping resources into a player.

You love to throw out logical fallacys. How would I know if a kid wasn't recruited up until the week before signing day? Do I know every single person ever recruited for college? LOL. Just because I personally don't know someone that fits that mold doesn't mean that they aren't out there. But your intent is to throw out a question/task that is impossible for that particular individual to complete and then say that it's impossible for anyone to complete it. That's not how it works, that's a logical fallacy.
