Here’s the scenario:
I have 12 scholarships and seemed like I was in pretty good shape to fill them all at the right position. I was looking to get 1 TE, which I got lucky and have a pretty darn good TE,
James Gardner, that’s 18 miles from me. He was considering
Albion (~730 miles away), coached by ‘
uti94' after the first update, so I made some efforts and eventually got onto his considering list. The recruit messages seemed to indicate that I was in front. I followed up a few times after and everything indicates that I am in the lead.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The following update after my phone call, James Gardner is now considering
Huntingdon (550 miles), coached by ‘
ealliance’. AND not only is James Gardner considering Huntingdon, two of the other recruits considering me (and had never been considering anyone else through the process), were now considering Huntingdon. Those recruits are
Daniel Bell (730 miles from him), and
Joshua Rushing (357 miles from him).
Now that struck me as odd by itself, especially because Huntingdon (I’ve heard) is one of the best places to recruit from, due to how many recruits supposedly are generated within 360 miles. So why target 2 guys that are that far away, especially with one (James Gardner) who is already being fought over by 2 other schools? I saw that Huntingdon is one of the best schools in the recruit distribution thread from yatzr.
So I’m already thinking that something shady may be happening with Albion and Huntingdon, then I check the team history. Nothing pops out as odd with Albion. Huntingdon, though, was very interesting. Since ‘ealliance’ has taken over at Huntingdon, Huntingdon has won ONE game. One. The total record is 1-64 under ‘ealliance’. And this is supposed to be one of the best schools to recruit from in GD. It's an odd contrast between his teams, as his profile shows that his team in Dobie world, Maranatha Baptist, is currently 13-0, and his other team, Marist, in Yost world, is currently 14-2. Why are two of his teams constantly really good, but his Huntingdon team seems to be intentionally losing every game?
Does anyone else think this is questionable? And if so, does anybody know how to get WIS to look into this?
