But I would be curious if anyone would share their insights/calculations on what "life changing" actually calculated out to in their experience evaluating against a top D1 SEC/ACC program.

It not only "means something different to everyone" is actually is different to different people. Take a player who comes from a wealthy family and what would be "life changing" would be very different from a player who comes from a family on the very low end of the economic scale.

So, first you have to define what is "life changing" for any particular case and whether or not that really has any meaning in that particular case.
