Transfer Requests Due Tuesday January 6th!!
This is a quick stage, all you do is check to see if you have any guys coming in and then accept or decline. Takes two seconds. |

I guess this is an advantage of sucking - kids don't leave early for the draft?
Interesting that USF had two guys transfer to NC State, a Human owned team.

Transfers are weird. I lost Pollard, who was a starting DB for me. I do think it's becasue I broke a promise to him but I forgot what I even promised him. Usually though kids who have outstanding years go pro. |

Expected Mallett to leave and was trying out his backup Wilson and I think he'll step in and play well. Really surprised Harris left though. |

Didn't see that one coming as he had a very ordinary year. I'll take my loses over Logan's though. Last edited by Ironhead : 01-05-2009 at 07:29 PM. |

If an ordinary year = going, shouldn't a record-breaking year = staying?
Please? PLEASE! Last edited by Logan : 01-06-2009 at 08:51 AM. |

I got a problem.
I completed my recruiting hours. Then when I was exiting the recruit interface I got the "EA servers unavailable" message. I hit retry and it eventually looked like it uploaded my data. When I hit the main board I still had 10 hours showing. I went back into the recruiting interface and it showed 0 hours. Went back to the main board and it still shows 10. I exited Dynasty and came back. Both screens show a full 10 hours. I guess it didn't accept my upload. I went through the entire recruiting process again and got the same results. I then exited and deleted the detoxrox dynasty file on my 360 and went back. The game downloaded a fresh file, but I get the same results. I can't get it to accept my completed recruiting upload. Is there anything I can do? |

This happened to Mike and I had to delete him then add him the next sim. We tried everything and that's all that seemed to work. |

Whew, I got the servers not available error again when completing the cycle. This time when I pulled out the wireless adapter and plugged it in, when I reconnected it took!
It looks like it is best not to do the recruiting when the servers are slow, in order to avoid this scenario. |

Odd that in this phase you don't get the pop-up about commitments.
But.. I NABBED A FOUR STAR!!! It was a WR. Balanced unfortunately rather than speed, but still - I'll take any 4-star I can get right now. I started doing my recruiting but ran out of time, I'll finish tonight.

I haven't looked at everyone else's class, but for all my bitching it really has turned out not so bad. No 5-stars and limited 4-stars, but a lot of 3-stars at key positions and with skillsets that I like. If my xbox survives through all of next season we should be in a pretty good position for recruiting next year.

I'm pretty sure UVA has a top 25 class, 4th in the ACC, definitely heading in the right direction.

Alright, to go along with the in-season 4-star OLB commit Justin NesSmith, we add most of our high priority recruits during week 1:
4* QB Justin Tepper (#9 QB) - With Wheeden declaring early, he may have a shot at the open competition 4* JUCO DT Shawn Cunningham (#11 DT - previous soft commit to Michigan I believe) 4* DE Nick Jasmin (#19 DE) 4* CB John Rogers (#20 CB) 4* OLB Chuck Guillory (#24 OLB) 4* ATH Jermaine Felder (#13 ATH - probable RB) 4* WR Randall Downing (#15 WR) - The A speed should be helpful 3* CB Howard King (#51 CB) committed to us after receiving an offer this week. Let's hope that A+ awareness works out for us. It was important for me to get these guys locked in, as I'll be out of town this week and probably won't get in anymore stages unless we get seriously moving. |

I was feeling good about my class (and still am to an extent) until I looked at the top 5-10 teams (mostly humans).. just wow..
I do rank at #23 though, but that's with 0 5 star, 1 4 star, and 10 3 star.

Added 7 more commits during week 2, including 4 more 4*s. Our class now sits at #6.
Got my stuff done for week 3, feel free to proceed without me as I'll be out until Thursday (unless everyone can manage to get done tonight). |

At least as far as the ACC is concerned things evened up quite a bit for week 3... I have the #11 class, Mike has the #12 class at UNC, and you have the #16 class at UVA. Virginia Tech and Florida State are 19 and 21. |

I agree, and I wasn't trying to complain too much. But, I'm getting my ranking with a bulk of 3*'s at need positions. If you look at the 4* numbers it's a pretty decent difference. I have 1. I think the next human has... 5? 6? Anyway, I'm fine with it - just shows how big of a gap there is between 16 and like 6 where Logan just got 4 4*'s in one week.

I don't think I've ever had a 20 person recruiting class before. Plus I have 3 transfers coming in, I'm going to be cutting half these guys.

I was not able to recruit last night -- my internet went down (my phone and internet went down) due to the storm we got.

Mike is going to hate me. The #2 recruit in the nation this past season, HB John Austin, had me #1, and UNC #2. He insta-signed with me in week 1 when I offered him a scholarship.
He comes into Raleigh as one of the 2 or 3 highest rated freshman I've seen in this game, including my 8 seasons of single player dynasty play. Austin is rated 86 OVR, and shockingly, like returning Heisman winner Brandon Roberts, Austin has a 99 SPD rating. Unlike Roberts, Austin is also rated 98 in ACC, is rated 90 in Elusiveness(roberts was 67). The rest of our class is a bit disappointing, none of my 3* guys have higher than average ratings and one of my 4* guys is a bit of a dud. But with two stud HB's and the increase to 4* prestige that NC State received this year, we should be able to improve this year and start pulling in more high quality recruits. |

I'm done with player cuts. Also, I will be on the road Tuesday and Wednesday, back online Thursday night. If you get the cuts cycled on Monday, I will log in and do my other stuff before I hit the road. I think the next one is pretty important, because you setup your initial draft board.
