I was looking over some real-life recruiting information for WSU and it just struck me that this is the type of thorough feedback I'd love to see in a college football sim. I realize it's hard to piece this kind of verbiage into a workable AI format, but look at all the information this quote gives!
If Washington State did offer, they would leap to the top of my list. So for now, I'm waiting on them and I'm waiting to see who else calls after the bowl games. I like that Washington State is in the Pac-10 and it's always been my dream to play in the Pac-10.

"But for now I like Idaho because of the nice facilities and the coaching staff," he said. "I really liked my visit there. They told me they want me to decide by mid-January. That's when they've got a big recruiting weekend and they need to know what I'm gonna do.

I'd like it too. TCY did a little of this ("I hate your coach", "I don't like the fact that you have a freshman at my position", etc.). BBCF does a little of this too, but it's more indirect. When one of my recruit's interest jumps from 6 to 10 after a visit, I assume he saw something he liked there (we used some of the "local talent" at Troy, but don't tell the pseudo-NCAA I did that :)). If it drops from 8 to 2, then I assume he saw something he didn't like.

Yeah, but assuming because a number fluctuates and getting the word from the recruit's mouth are such different levels of immersion. Ah, well. I can always dream. :p
