Come on top targets, sign and let me move on these guys I have waiting behind you...

MacroGuru · 04-01-2013, 06:18 AM

I have to try and pickup 2 QB's this late in the stage. Fingers crossed I am able too.

gstelmack · 04-01-2013, 07:36 AM

I am done for the week.

cmgdodgers · 04-01-2013, 11:41 AM

Question: I did my recruiting online for the first time, is there a way for me to set as "ready to advance" online?

If you have used all your allotted time it should be automatically set for you.

gstelmack · 04-01-2013, 12:55 PM

And if you haven't, no you can't set I manually, which sucks, and is why I posted.

cmgdodgers · 04-01-2013, 01:08 PM

ok thanks and I too am done for the week.

Eaglesfan27 · 04-01-2013, 03:04 PM

I am done. Hoping to get up to a full class of 25 this week.

chesapeake · 04-02-2013, 03:21 PM

Ugh. I couldn't keep with MLB from going -- morons -- and the remaining ones that I have a realistic shot at are dreck.

I'm done for week 1, too.

Kodos · 04-02-2013, 04:22 PM

Just waiting for FAU and then we'll be ready to advance.

CU Tiger · 04-02-2013, 08:15 PM

I'm done ready to advance.

Recruiting has been a challenge this season. Several players sign that I'd pulled their offer, such is the danger in joining mid season I suppose.

Then I have 4 WR targets and really only wanted 1 more. I scheduled 3 to come in for visits this wel and when I called the 4th he insta committed....I only have 4 shps left and I fear I may have a team full of WR next year.

Kodos · 04-02-2013, 08:54 PM

We're on to Week 2.

Kodos · 04-02-2013, 09:12 PM

Dang. Offered too much low-hanging fruit in order to open new pipelines in key states, and now have no schollies left for 5 guys who I could have used. I guess I'll keep recruiting them and hope they walk on. (I have no idea if that is possible in the game or not.)

MacroGuru · 04-02-2013, 09:34 PM

Picked up 4 new recruits..the C I needed plus another OLB, SS and a WR.

gstelmack · 04-03-2013, 08:15 PM

Done for this sim.

Julio Riddols · 04-03-2013, 08:27 PM

Finally closed on the 2 DBs we really needed, now we can try and do something about the defensive line.. Not too hopeful that we'll find anyone particularly useful this late in the game though.

cmgdodgers · 04-03-2013, 11:43 PM

Eaglesfan27 · 04-04-2013, 08:31 AM

USC has a full class. I don't think walk-ons happen in the game, but I used recruiting time just in case I'm wrong. I'm done.

CU Tiger · 04-04-2013, 08:12 PM

Fau is done and full....

Kodos · 04-05-2013, 05:13 PM

We're on to Week 3. Please let me know if/when you are done recruiting for the season.

Eaglesfan27 · 04-05-2013, 05:50 PM

I am fairly sure no walk ons, so we are done.

gstelmack · 04-05-2013, 06:06 PM

Done for the sim, and done for season. Those two crappy (but still necessary) RTs that transferred in ate my last scholarship.

cmgdodgers · 04-05-2013, 09:00 PM

Done for this week

Julio Riddols · 04-06-2013, 12:12 AM

Done for this week as well. I'm not likely to fill my whole class, so I will need all 5 weeks. I check in frequently, so if there is an advancement I will be done within 24 hours pretty much every time.

cartman · 04-06-2013, 12:59 PM

My class is full as well.

chesapeake · 04-08-2013, 11:31 AM

I'm done for this week.

MacroGuru · 04-08-2013, 02:29 PM

I am done for the week. it looks like I might end up going into the season with 2 walk on back up QB's...I am sooooooo screwed...

Kodos · 04-08-2013, 04:46 PM

We're on to week 4.

cmgdodgers · 04-08-2013, 10:07 PM

MacroGuru · 04-08-2013, 10:32 PM

MacroGuru · 04-09-2013, 09:18 AM

Dola, I forgot to mention, I did pick up a 1 star QB and right now I am in a battle with a 2 star that my scouts has said is a GEM...fingers crossed I can get him.

Julio Riddols · 04-09-2013, 01:28 PM

Ready for week 5. up to 12 recruits now, closing in on about 10 more with an outside shot at a few others.. If we can manage a full recruiting class I will be pretty stoked.

WVUFAN · 04-09-2013, 02:38 PM

This is a fantastic league that I thoroughly enjoy following. Great job to Kudos in coming up with this.

Kodos · 04-09-2013, 03:34 PM

Heh. I had no idea we had any followers outside of the league. Thanks, WVU.

P.S. Let me know if you want to come aboard!

WVUFAN · 04-09-2013, 05:52 PM

I wish I could. I own a PS3, and I joined one of your earlier leagues, and wound up holding things up due to real life issues. I wouldn't want to do this to this league.

I'm impressed with the activity of the players, and how you have set this whole thing up and kept it going. Just wanted to drop a note to let all of you know.

Kodos · 04-10-2013, 03:59 PM

We're on to the final week of recruiting.

cmgdodgers · 04-10-2013, 07:22 PM

chesapeake · 04-11-2013, 11:09 AM

Done.

Julio Riddols · 04-11-2013, 08:37 PM

Doing it now, should be done shortly.

Julio Riddols · 04-11-2013, 09:50 PM

Had trouble connecting, but on now, should be done in 30 minutes.

Julio Riddols · 04-11-2013, 10:07 PM

Finished. Hoping for a class of 20, expecting 18 or so. Not a bad class considering the circumstances, but we can definitely do better. Next year will be our chance since we will be able to start recruiting from the beginning of the season instead of several weeks into it.

Kodos · 04-12-2013, 06:59 AM

Recruiting is done. Will leave it up a while so people can look at their classes.

It also appears that there are in fact no walk-ons.

gstelmack · 04-12-2013, 03:40 PM

There are walk-ons, just for the AI. I had a Punter and HB go to AI schools with no scholarship offer instead of walking on with me, and me being #1 on their list before signing day.

Kodos · 04-12-2013, 03:51 PM

Mine all committed to other teams, even though I was ranked first on 3 out of 4. Alas. The price I paid for grabbing lower guys to open up pipelines in Georgia and California.

Kodos · 04-12-2013, 04:20 PM

We're on to position changes.

Kodos · 04-13-2013, 09:42 AM

I wouldn't rely on the website. Some of the changes I made there didn't seem to carry over when I checked them in the game on the 360.

CU Tiger · 04-13-2013, 06:43 PM

Ok I'm in a pinch.
I need to make a few changes, but.
My gold expired and it sys my credit card is "locked" I'm going try buying a year pass at Wally later but if it it will be Monday before I can do my deal.

Kodos · 04-13-2013, 09:23 PM

No worries. Macro won't be able to do it until Monday night or so either.

Julio Riddols · 04-14-2013, 09:02 PM

Will be doing this tonight... Done.
