I must say I am very impressed by the accuracy of many of the guesses here. It was:

Team A: 43%
Team B: 57%

The recruit signed with Team B.

The reason I started the thread was that I was surprised it wasn't an even bigger gap in favor of Team B, given the huge actual and relative disparity in AP, and the big distance preference advantage. What I learned from this is that prestige is worth far more than I realized. My guess is that Team A was a high enough A+ that it was the equivalent of almost a full letter grade over Team B's A.
I did my calculations as team a having a 30% prestige advantage.

AP has a lot of value.
Not as much as I thought it did is my point--with 65% more AP and a preference advantage Team A was still able to stay at very high. I thought Team A would have been knocked down to high at minimum with that kind of AP disparity, but the prestige was worth much more.
