Yes, it's been on the list at least the past 2 years...and I've added it to this list as well.
But a few questions:
a. If you're going to realistically look at juniors, then I guess you'd have to include not only those juniors who presently make it (when they become seniors bur also some other juniors who you'd need to evaluate as potentially able to make the list when they become seniors. So if that's the case, how many additional juniors should be included? I mean HS players are developing at widely different rates as they mature and gain experience, that this would seem to need to be something that would have to be included if this is to be implmented. So, would you say that we'd have to be evaluating maybe twice as many juniors in a state as are presently being included in the recruit list once they become seniors? For example, in my present associaiton, in a small population state (Wyoming), there are 27 recruits. In a large population state (California) there are 77 recruits. So if Gary was to implement the recruiting of juniors, shoudl there be 54 in Wyoming and 154 in California for us to evaluate?
b, Would there be a different set of criteria and ways to recruit juniors? If so, what?
c. Wouldn't there need to be a fairly significant increase for college recruiting budgets to be able to do this? if so how much? 10% more, 25% more, 50% more?
d. For those juniors you evaluate/recruit, would you feel it was a waste of time for those who don't make the cut when they become seniors?
e. Why would this help low prestige/low budget colleges more than high prestige/high colleges?
f. If this is to be impomented, the AI would need to be doing this as well as the human. How best could this be programmed/controlled so that the human doesn't gain an unfair advantage?
g. a fair amount of game players already feel that recuriting takes a lot of time, by adding this, might it just become oppressive?
h. How best for game players to keep track of the juniors that they recruit/evaluate so that the informaton they gain isn't lost to them by the time those juniors become seniors?
