I only have 6 schollies left and I need to close in a big way. On the other hand was happy to see last week that I took a SS recruit away from Port Chester.

I've recruited a lot of safeties this year, but I wanted that guy too. He was only a 2* guy, and I'd like to say that I wasn't recruiting him very hard, but I can't. I was going after him pretty hard at the end. Your offer late in the season, when I hadn't offered him yet, was what did it for you. I think that I offered him a week too late, and then couldn't make up the lead that you took over me.

I'm all set too. Used all 25 scholarships and 8 them were 1*. I don't think my team could get any worst in the backup roles.

tryng to be optimistic and say that hey, maybe these guys will develop.

But you'll probably end up cutting them to pare your roster at some point. I end up cutting 3 and 4 star recruits sometimes during my own dynasties because I over recruit and guys just don't develop even when I give them game chances to do so

The risk I run now is that you cant cut FR. So I could be potentially be harming myself this year. But it will be worth it to go from a 58 JR or SR to a 52 FR and hope I add some SPD or ACC in several spots.

The most disappointing thing for me this year, was my inability to grow my pipelines. I still have California, Texas (both are great pipelines), and Nevada (crap), but I really worked on getting Louisiana, Ohio, and Alabama on board. I do think that I made enough progress in those states, and in Washington, that I'll be able to get them next season, but, dammit, I want them now.

That's something I never even thought about doing. I think everyone on my roster is from California. But its probably the way to go about things to create as many pipelines as you can.

Piney and Olaf may be able to confirm or deny this, but I don't think that's accurate. When I made that post in Olaf's dynasty, it looked like you couldn't cut freshman, but that was just EA fucking with us. I ended up way over-cutting my Georgia Tech roster because of that. The freshman that I cut originally, and the upperclassmen that I cut when it looked like I couldn't cut freshman were all cut, and I think I only had between 60 and 65 players on my team last season. This past off-season, I just made my cuts, and didn't look at that screen again until Olaf advanced. All of the cuts stuck this time, and many of them were freshman.

The problem for us is that California is great, but the only other states near us that are top 20 states are Washington(18) and Arizona(20). Texas is worth going after, because it's #1...by alot, and because Proximity to home is a C+ rating. I may eventually go after Florida, but, for now, I've skipped over them in favor of states with C or higher Proximity, and that means Ohio and Louisiana.

Yeah, I had a severe pipeline building fail this year. And god knows I tried. Heck, Texas State started with 60 total guys from Texas. So I had no base, unless I wanted to try to get build a Minnesota pipeline? (really... Minnesota??? WTF?)

I tried really hard to get into Louisiana but failed to even get ONE guy!!! Heck, of all my new recruits only 2 weren't from Texas. (Arizona & Arkansas)

I am still on two guys from Louisiana but I doubt it. I finally got into the Top 10 for about 5-6 4* and above guys with no offers from anyone else in their Top 10. But not even in the top 5 so now I am just praying they somehow commit after Week 5.

FYI... I did complete my recruiting this morning and set myself ready to advance. I ahve time left, so hopefully it shows me as done so you can advance Iron.

It lets you cut them, but as soon as you leave the dynasty they are back. I did that the first offseason; I cut like 4 or 5 FR and everytime I went back in I had 75 players and couldn't figure out why.

HEY!!! Don't you dare come into Texas!!! :biggrin:

Thankfully Louisiana is close and I did try to get 1-2 from Florida but it sucks when your pitches suck and you don't get that pipeline bonus to help you score points. (I won't mention my fails trying to get into Cali :sneaky:)

I really hope they change the roulette style of recruiting in 2013. I hate that I can't pick what I talk about and they keep going back to Conference Prestige like 10 times during a call and when you finally find out what their interest is, it's a Least/Low/Very Low and I get a big 8 points for it!!! :smash:
