I don't know.
HS star, who's been BMOC for 3-4 years, is getting all kinds of love from D3 U. D1 and D2 have completely ignored him. Then, when Kentucky loses a guy they thought they'd get, they call the kid on the last day and say "Yeah, you can be our 12th." Would said kid really go to Kentucky?
This would never happen in real life.
KY would never offer a d3 caliber player.
They would do this to a mid level school in a big 6 D1 conference and get him.
I think you misunderstood.
He's a low level D1 projection. D1/D2 are chasing bigger fish. Kentucky has a kid de-commit at the last minute and calls this kid immediately.
Nonetheless, I agree it wouldn't happen in real-life. Some D1 school would have at least made a call, sent a letter, tossed him a text. But, in this game, that doesn't happen. The D1 coaches chase their guys and, if they lose out, they feel they should get priority on any available player on the last cycle. "I'm Kentucky and you're East Rhode Island State. I get everyone I want even if I never contacted the player." Doesn't seem right.
