One thing yall are missing here is the high academic student who is maybe not a top prospect that will be offered a spot on the team and a good financial package because he/she will bring up that AI score for a better prospect with worse grades. A student at mywife's HS got into Yale and a full ride, Girls Soccer, because she was 1500+ sat and 4.0+ Academically, she was fine. Her athletics was borderline, but her grades got her the D1 ride.. For every recruit with marginal grades, there needs to be one on the other end..
