Why not just have WIS mark the players who will leave and when? Then I can buy your argument and access the risk properly if I want to recruit someone or not. But as long as it is random and this is how EEs are treated, then I guess we might as well just get rid of prestige and hey we can all start every season on an even playing field like you want.
It's not random. As I said earlier, of the 60 EE candidates on the board in Allen, all but 4 were in the top 15 at their position when they were recruited. I know this isn't exactly the assessment you're looking for, because we can't view HS ratings post-draft, but it's not going to be a big discrepancy. Top 10 in class is a pretty decent risk he'll consider. Top 11-20 much smaller, but still a risk. We're not flying blind here.
It is *
random* in that who goes and who doesn't is not within my control (nor can I find out which recruit will leave and who won't). While I can possible anticipate who might have a higher chance of leaving, there are no guarantees that Player A is going to leave nor is there any guarantee that Player B is going to stay all 4 years (I've had what you would call "role" players leave in their JR season while they were sitting on the bench).
While you can say that almost every EE is in the top 10 of their positions, not *ALL* players in the top of their positions will go EE (some will participate all 4 eligible years). And I've had an EE that was NOT in the top 10 of their positions while at a D- D1 school in my *first* recruiting season.
And the punishment for one school who recruits role player A who goes EE versus an identical school who recruits role player B through no fault of their own other than the coach for player A actually is a better coach, goes onto a deep run and is rewarded with his player leaving is laughable.
If this is how you would want us to handle EEs, then I would petition seble to code in that post season success has ZERO effect on whether a player leaves or not or even player development. Why should the successful coach be punished by making a deep run (if two teams have identical players)? Why would even being better at player development be a factor then? Why not just decide when you recruit that 5 star, that he's going in SO/JR season, regardless of how the team performs or how his rating develop?
