Kralj was much lower though so I went for it. Could be my terrible roster helping me out with him though. I did have a problem recruiting Centers for amherst not too long ago but it is ok now. It was annoying as it seemed to be because of depth but many of the centers on the roster would be gone by the time he enrolled.

Many of the listed positions for recruits are ridiculous and have no relationship to where they would play. So, yea, I can see how that could be a factor, but WHY would it be a factor? If its something more general like "how many average mins do your true FR play"? makes a lot more sense. That being said I have 9 players that have C as a primary position. 3 more that have it as a secondary position. Thats pretty usual for me. I have had this type of team for many seasons, and have noticed no particular changes, aside from what can be linked to demoting this past season. I think the key point is LaurensDeGraff is saying its severely changed for his team recently. But idk. General variance is in a certain range for me and has been pretty consistent. Interesting how you and New Orleans recruited same player with such different results. I think there should be more clarifications on what the rules are for international players. We all know some US players are harder or easier, but is it the same for INT? I mean is there a hidden desire to not be signed and supposedly play overseas that makes them hard to recruit? I can say level DOES matter, from my own experience. When in D3 it took 10-12 for every INT. But there seems to be no "advantage" to striking first that I can see. Just my thoughts.

If it helps -- the most I have had a team go through was 25. Once I had only 3 games lost while starting 3 guys averaging over 30 min. I think it is a random variation Steve throws into the game.

I am on pace to go into next year with four unfilled scholarships because out of the six players I went into this season targeting all but one committed... I'm used to always getting at least two. I then continually start contacting two other players and each time they immediately committed to another team when they had been at no other teams interested the day before when I started contacting them. These past few years have been atrocious for my team recruiting-wise... I am just very confused about how when I have two coaches with 14-plus recruiting skills, can anyone give me feedback on this and how I can improve when I am only targeting 3-star and 2-star players mostly... celtic4warrior Updated Tuesday, November 7 2023 @ 12:17:26 pm PST
