Just looked at my spreadsheet and noticed that I only talked to him two times. I guess I didn't want him as bad as I thought I did. :tongue2:

I was thinking the same thing. Guess I am not taking this as serious as others.

Really the reason I have a spreadsheet is so I can do some minor tweaking at work when I have time. Basically since I Quick Call 90% of my recruits I fool around on the spreadsheet how much time I spend per week on someone. The amount of time I spend doing that would be better spent when I have a 5-10 minute break at work versus at home where the wife might kill me.

Then I have transferred my depth chart to a spreadsheet so I can determine what positions I need and how important other recruits are. This is something I have done for years in my offline dynasties.

Then again I am a spreadsheet freak and put everything into a spreadsheet.

Not anything fancy. Just text in boxes. I keep track of Player's name, star rating, 40 time, bench, and squat. I keep track of the 40, bench, and squat because you can't view those from the recruiting board. Name and star rating so I remember which players were higher rated, and who turned out to be booms or busts. I also keep track of my calls. I don't call everyone on my board every week, so I just put an 'X' next to the week in that player's column, so I know if I should call him the following week. My offered guys get calls every week, but the other guys don't. I need to know who I've neglected, and who I've called more than warranted. This is the first season that I've tracked my calls, and it's not working out as well as I thought it would.

Also, my setup is different than the typical PS3 setup. I originally had it hooked up to an HDMI port on my 50" plasma, but didn't like monopolizing the big TV, or playing PS3 on the split screen (the plasma only has a 16ms refresh rate too...not ideal for gaming), so I moved it into my office. I have two 22" LCD monitors connected to my computer. I use one of them as my primary monitor for my PC, and the other as my PS3 monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable, and I hook the sound up to a little stereo in my office. Having the PC and PS3 right next to each other makes it much easier to keep track of everything. Although, in previous years I would always track the recruits names and star ratings on a pad and paper, but only the ones that I ended up with. So, I'm not taking it any more seriously than I have in the past. I'm just a big nerd. Always have been.

just go to top classes and highlight the team you want to look up, then i believe you can hit R3 and it will show the recruits...

That's pretty sweet. I was doing the whole offline thing if someone asked me to check. Seemed kind of invasive, but they asked me to do it. Now I don't have to go sticking my nose into someone's recruiting board. I won't be able to tell people who they missed on, but at least they'll know who they got.

Thanks man. My recruiting class is really going to drop off this year. I spread myself too thin across the board and didn't lock guys up early like I usually do. I may have more 5*'s but I will not have near the depth.

What did I do this time? Was it a FS?

no.....just that you laugh at the idea of signing anybody that isn't a 4*. I hate your recruiting prowess, and your uniforms are ugly.

I just give info on the guys that I am recruiting against. Force them to log on themselves to check so they can get their shit done :wink2:

I can give you one bit of news, Hines gave you a soft verbal. I just hope he doesn't give you a hard verbal before he comes in for a visit. Cuz once he comes in for a visit... you know once the SMU alums get their greedy paws all over him and the hookers work their magic he is coming to Dallas.

Ummmm, not that SMU would ever do such a thing...
