The words in the VH / H / etc. listing are misleading and meaningless in 3.0. Fun, right?
Yes, the VH and H are quite ambiguous but there is still meaning in them because VH still has greater probability of signing any given recruit than H but probabilities are what they are. Besides, based on our conversation yesterday, it still appears you'd much prefer the terms were even more ambiguous and had less meaning.
And in season's past when the Valpo's of HD were sitting on a solid mid-major recruit for two days of recruiting and the Indiana's of HD needed a reserve bench player to play five to ten minutes a game and swooped in at signing cycle and "strategically" "out-recruited" the Valpo's leaving them with no time to recover because the good players not in battles had all signed, that was fun for them too, right?
This version of the game isn't perfect, it's not how I would have designed it, and likely isn't how any of us other than seble would have designed it. In fact, there are probably very few of us who would agree with each other on how this game could be perfect. But at least now no one is immune from the "fun" you reference, and now most of this happens early enough in recruiting where there is plenty of time to recover and find a second choice.
