Thinking about it, there should be some consistency in Dynasty games but that's for another day.
But, beyond that, it seems like the solution would be for the recruit to remove schools from his "considering" list. You don't see kids with 14 hats in front of them on signing day. Maybe 3. Perhaps, as he gets closer to signing(and has a VH), he cuts loose the VL and L. Tells them "Tough ****. You didn't love me enough." Then, the next cycle, drops the moderates. That way, a cycle or two before signing, he only has VH and H.
Would certainly prevent pouching.
That said, I'm sure some D1 user will tell me I'm a moron, that's a stupid idea and I should keep my n00b *** out of their D1 problems because I didn't take the Advanced HD classes in college.
