All other pitches were subject to change in NCAA 11. Coach Experience was stubborn when I stayed with one team, and Program Stability and Campus Lifestyle were sort of unpredictable, but everything else changed according to overall success.

It still a little frustrating though, especially when you have Custom Conferences. I wouldn't recommend using that pitch anyway, as I've learned that Championship Contender, Fan Base, Athletic Facilities, and Television Exposure are favorites more often than not.

Re: Conference Prestige ratings?

Don't forget coach prestige. That one always seems to be a favorite for these prospects.

You know, I've tried Coach Prestige a lot, but it feels like it just doesn't work as often. For the 4 pitches I mentioned before, I will frequently skip making promises because one of those 4 came up and showed "UNKNOWN". I would say Coach Prestige is a medium-popularity pitch. Things like Academic Prestige and Coach Experience have been low-popularity, in my experience.

I would agree with the low pitches. Never got many Very High's on proximity to home either.

Another low one definitely. I only every try Proximity to Home on in-state guys. From my experience:

High: Championship Contender, Fan Base, Athletic Facilities, TV Exposure

Medium: Pro Potential, Conference Prestige, Coach Prestige, Program Tradition

Low: Program Stability, Campus Lifestyle, Academic Prestige, Proximity to Home

Looks about right. You forgot Early Playing Time, which I think should be high, but seemed more like low to me in '11.

This is a good overall average but you could draw up a different one of these for each star tier of recruits. Each tier seems to have its own set of favorite pitches.

Big East B (or maybe B-, since TCU won't be joining until 2012. I doubt any BCS automatic qualifier would fall to B- though)
Big XII B (no Nebraska, Colorado, or championsihp game; large amount of uncertainty)
BIG10 A+ (addition of Nebraska and a championship game, plus emerging contenders in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan State)
SEC A+ (no changes here)
PAC10 A- (added championship game but the added programs aren't particularly prestigious. But the conference seems to no longer be a USC monopoly)
CUSA C
MWC B- (Boise State and others join, and TCU still remains for now)
MAC C- (seemed to take a small step forward this season)
WAC D (essentially demolished)
Sunbelt D+
The Big Ten(+2) on the same level as the SEC? Pretty funny if you ask me but you are a Big Ten(+2) guy so it's understandable you would think they are.
