There was no way for Spud to know St Johns was +6, unless he saw the inside math. Or, he's wrong and just made up +6.
I think he got +6 from the OP; 1 very bad (-2), 3 very goods (+6), 2 goods (+2).
Looking at it again it appears that OP was referring to the recruit's preferences with his own team. At first glance, it looked to be the other way around.
Exactly. He was talking about St. John's earlier in the paragraph and I took it as the recruit's preferences with St. John's. My bad.
Now the conspiracy theorists can resume clucking.
I made an edit to make it more clear, but this gets back to my point. I was +6 and St Johns was +4 (by this basic, tally). I had much more AP, maxed out everything (visists, promises) all done from the get go. I have a higher prestige. How did St Johns come in and go from not on the list to signed in 2 cycles? I should have been so far ahead that a coin flip should have been mitigated. If it were A+ Virginia or Syracuse I could understand it, but not B St Johns with less effort. If the RNG is that powerful then why the hell do we bother recruiting? Should there just be a lottery for each and every player?
No, not lottery .. well, at least not a straight lottery with even odds.
It is a weighted lottery though, yes. If there are 100 balls (100% chance) .. If you have a 70% chance, you have 70 Balls .. every other team that is high or above gets SOME balls as well. Maybe 3 other teams share the other balls (or in your case 1 other team). But, it is possible that someone with 1 ball CAN win.
That's just how it is.
But, only teams with High or Very High get any balls .. and the balls given are weighted based on the teams percentage of total effort.
