Agree that it can be compelling for some reason. I tend to take what I hear from the general public on athletic recruiting with a grain of salt. Especially when it comes to talk about a scholarship that so and so may have been offered, someone claiming to know some other kids/athletes actual test scores and/or GPA which were not stellar but they somehow go into a very high end school, “if a school really wants you they will find money for you”, etc.
At a ball field once I heard another parent tell me about what one of my kids was being offered for scholarship(s) but it couldn’t be more wrong.
