Recruit Picking High over Very High Topic

There's no reason for this to happen. When there are multiple schools at Very High it's fine to be random but it's complete crap for a recruit to pick a school that is high instead of Very High.

If something has a high chance of happening , why are you surprised when it happens . High chance means high chance. There is a higher chance of the other two getting the guy . . But a high chance for the high team.

Logically speaking when picking a college no one would pick somewhere that they had a high level of interest in over something that they had a very high level of interest in. There is a reason for the 'very' distinction, it's preferred more than they one than the other.

He had the most interest in the place he went . . The sports writers THOUGHT his interest was higher to the other places. This happens all the time . He was giving indications one way. . He chose another .

No he didn't go to the place he had the most interest in. He had the most interest in the one that was listed as VERY high. That's why it was listed above high. There's no reason for it.

There's a reason for it when more than one school is listed at very high. There's no reason for it when one is very high, and the other is high. It's unrealistic.

What the hell? Hughes, that logic makes no sense.

This happened to me as well. I was Very High, the school the player signed with was high.

This wasn't a sportswriter's take on it. From what I understand, it's the kid's actual stance, not some random guess at who he's considering. If you are very high, and you are the only one in very high, then you are the school that is leading. And it's that simple. So yeah, it seems strange that they'd sign out of the blue with a team they were not as high on.

No, he didn't go the the place that had the most interest in him. His interest in the teams is not what is shown. What is shown is who showed the most interest (effort) to recruit him. There is a difference.

It's to show his interest, not who has the most effort. If it was to show the most effort, it would say that. It shows his interest, and he picked a school he was less interested in. It's illogical.

It is how much effort each team has put in . . It is probability. It is math. Nothing more.

It is odds. . Like Vegas odds . . On where he might go.

When someone is picking something, it's not a random chance. They pick the thing that they are more interested in. He was more interested in the very high school. The sim should have put him with the very high school. To have them pick to go to a school they are less interested in is unrealistic.
