Pop quiz, hot shots:
You're running a team with 42 prestige, which is tied with two others as the low team on the totem pole for the conference (couple of low 60's, a few mid-50's). You're losing all three centers on your team to graduation, and every forward on your team is a giant pile of crap when it comes to playing basketball. You have good, young guards. You've got three scholarships to give out while recruiting, and you have a handle on two of them: two centers, one of whom looks tailor made to play the 4. Which leaves you one scholarship offer...and you can't decide between these two players:
SF, graded Red/Yellow, scout loves him and his high school stats were great. After one month of recruiting, you're #1 on his list ahead of only one other school...which happens to be the highest prestige school in your own conference (your 42 vs their 65). Neither team has offered him, and he lives much closer to your school than the other school.
PG, graded Orange/Green, scout loves him even more than the SF. You are the #2 school on his list, but he's got a few local schools on the list as well -- including the #1 school, which has you beat in prestige 47-42. None of the five schools has offered a scholarship, only one has a significant lead in the prestige game at 51 and that school is several hundred miles away from this kid.
Who do you go after? The PG seems like a much better player, but it looks like more competition for him and at a position that you really don't need much help at: Green/Blue Junior and Orange/Blue Sophomore on the roster already at PG as opposed to the Red/Orange and Red/Yellow Freshman you have at SF.
