I agree that it should be more weighted so things like Low/D- never come up, because who's going to take the time to talk about that? But a lot of us have been interpreting it as the recruit having control of the call, not you. That doesn't always explain some of the decisions and topics, but at least it can partially explain the change in control.

Plus, you actually pointed out the central problem with the old system. You pounded on those Highs, etc, until you had the guy signed. There was very little strategy, and absolutely no risk/reward. You could use a 2.5+ hr phone call on one guy by using three topics. Hit one until he turns , then go to the next, then the next. That was crap.

I don't 100% like the system as it is, and there are a few modifications I would advocate, but I also know the old system wasn't real at all either. Nick Saban doesn't insist on talking about Conference Prestige for 90 minutes just because he can.
