Cool. I figured as much. We have a few people who tend to leave some time on the clock.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-23-2008, 07:39 PM

I keep losing my connection to EA's servers and it is preventing me from finishing my recruiting

Going to try again in a minute.

Kodos · 10-23-2008, 07:49 PM

No worries. We can wait until you're successful. Stupid EA and their crappy servers.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-23-2008, 07:50 PM

Ok, I'm ready to advance.

Kodos · 10-23-2008, 07:54 PM

I'll be able to do it after I put my son to bed, so within the next hour.

Kodos · 10-23-2008, 09:27 PM

Alright, we've advanced to Week 4.

Sun Tzu · 10-23-2008, 09:28 PM

first

DeToxRox · 10-23-2008, 09:42 PM

We're up to #5 in the Nation with 15 four star commits:

4* RB Bill Henderson (30/253)
A- Speed, B+ Juke, A+ Acceleraiton. Henderson is a home run threat type RB. He won't always pound it between the tackles but in space he will be lethal. Hopefully we can line him up all over the field and see what he has for us.

4* T David Davis (19/252)
A+ awareness, B blocking across the board. Davis is our third 4* OT, and he is another good one. One of these guys will probably move to the inside, which is fine with me. This is shaping up to be an excellent OL recruiting class for us.

DeToxRox · 10-23-2008, 09:45 PM

I'm all set, and PS Sun, Goff is mine.

We'll see DeTox. If you get him then I'm actually converting one of my FS signings to SS.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-24-2008, 03:56 PM

We are done our recruiting for this week, despite having 3:15 left.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-24-2008, 04:09 PM

Galaxy and 1 other guy are left (maybe JLalley?)

Sun Tzu · 10-24-2008, 05:41 PM

Yeah, probably smooth. Where's the bribe button in this game?

Bigsmooth · 10-24-2008, 10:02 PM

I'm done. We're racking up the 3 star guys. They should be solid back ups after a couple years. Ha.

Galaxy · 10-25-2008, 11:34 AM

Just got home. I'll do my stuff this evening.

Galaxy · 10-25-2008, 12:30 PM

Got it done. I'm ready to go.

Sun Tzu · 10-25-2008, 12:39 PM

w00t!

Kodos · 10-25-2008, 01:58 PM

Alright, we are in Week 5 of recruiting now. Indiana grabs four 3* guys and is now the 24th best class. RFL teams occupy the top 5 recruiting slots.

DeToxRox · 10-25-2008, 02:17 PM

We get a 3* QB commit. Sitting solid with the #5 class, not bad. Not too many guys left I really want. I focus all of my time on those guys, and that's it for me.

Radii · 10-25-2008, 03:36 PM

Georgia Tech lands a few more 3* players, including the scrambling QB we want, he doesn't really look that great but as an option team we will take what we can get this year.

9 4*, 9 3* guys now, giving us the #6 class in the nation.

Sun Tzu · 10-25-2008, 03:46 PM

Is Goff still undecided?

Yes, lol.

Part of me thinks he likes a team who hasn't offered him yet which is why he hasn't gone anywhere yet. Could be wrong though.

He's probably pissed he couldn't be generated in the EBFL file so he'd know what team he is on already.

Karlifornia · 10-25-2008, 04:07 PM

my recruiting is done for the week....

Bigsmooth · 10-25-2008, 04:29 PM

Done. Looks like we'll finish with the #11 class in the nation, solid. Didn't realize we had such a huge class coming in though. 25 players. Probably be cutting some of these guys.

Sun Tzu · 10-25-2008, 08:14 PM

Done with my recruiting. Looks like all that's left is Big Poppa Pump and EF27.

Pumpy Tudors · 10-26-2008, 01:49 PM

Yep, I'll take care of it later today.

Kodos · 10-26-2008, 06:18 PM

So are we all set now? Haven't had a chance to get on Live and see.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-26-2008, 06:23 PM

I just realized that I didn't do mine.. meant to do it this morning and forgot. I'll do it in a few minutes - it will only take a few minutes.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-26-2008, 07:01 PM

I'm done and we are ready to advance.

Kodos · 10-26-2008, 08:04 PM

Kodos · 10-26-2008, 08:05 PM

Okay, we're on to Position Changes. This should be a pretty quick stage, as there's not much to do. Macro, do you have any position changes you want to make? Not sure how to handle this.

DeToxRox · 10-26-2008, 08:10 PM

Wow. I didn't think I'd get to 25 commits.

Galaxy · 10-26-2008, 08:31 PM

A small, but quality, class for us. We only had a handful of players leaving, so I didn't want to have to cut.

bignej · 10-26-2008, 08:34 PM

Hey Galaxy, Drew is an 86 OVR

I don't have to worry about him (unless it's a bowl game).

I look forward to seeing how he pans out. The good news is we picked up a handful of athletes and a ton of speed.

Radii · 10-26-2008, 09:13 PM

2008 Georgia Tech Recruiting Class

4* QB Shaun McCaleb - 80
4* HB Hakin Veach - 76
4* G Bryan Watkins - 76
4* CB David Riley - 74
4* DE Lamarr Carpenter - 74
4* DE Bob King - 74
3* DT Elgin Edwards - 73
4* DE Marques Morris - 73
4* HB Jason Russell - 73
4* C Aaron Dawson - 72
3* CB Jake Moore - 72
3* TE David Sanders - 71
3* WR Pat Whaley - 70
3* DE Tony Perry - 70
3* MLB Don Griffin - 69
3* ATH Victor Dailey - 69
3* QB Roderick Pickens - 68
3* DE Wayne Larsen - 67
3* T Brent Givens - 65 (JUCO)
3* CB Antonio Sims - 65

Overall I'd hoped for better given the # of 4* guys coming in and the overall ranking of my class, but, given that I didn't join the league til week 6 or so, I cannot complain too much.

Thank the CPU filling my board for the # of DE's on the list, and for my top recruit, Shaun McCaleb. He'll never see the field unless I decide to stop running the option. QB Pickens has a speed of 78 and may be useful.

Both of my HB recruits, Veach and Russell, have 94 speed and will redshirt this year and start in the wing formations across from each other for 4 years most likely.

ATH victor dailey is the first ATH I've seen that best converts into an O-lineman. Thank god for that, b/c I severely underrecruited at tackle.

Bigsmooth · 10-27-2008, 10:35 AM

Done.

Pretty worthless class, ratings wise. The WR's and RB's I got are VERY slow, basically the kiss of death in this game. Ouch.

That's one thing I focused a lot on. Sometimes going for a 4-star recruit, with a lot more speed, is better than a slower 5-star recruit. 3-star skilled position recruits can be an excellent value, if they have speed to burn.

Kodos · 10-27-2008, 11:54 AM

I'm pretty happy with my 6'4", 95 speed WR.

Thank god we signed the top corner, strong safety, and a converted athlete who may be one of the top free safeties (82) in the country.

Sun Tzu · 10-27-2008, 12:05 PM

Just finished swapping some people around. Here are the peope that are left.

EF27
Fozzie
Macro
Karl
Pump-a-lot

*** Important Note - Even after I was done with all of my position changes, in the headquarters it still said not complete for me. I had to manually set my status to "Ready to Advance". There may be some other people who had the same thing happen.

Bigsmooth · 10-27-2008, 04:04 PM

Man, the "Athlete" that I signed doesn't even belong in Division 1. He is 6'1" and 190 lbs. Speed rating is 80. 80? WTF. Where can this guy play? I really can't get over how bad this class was compared to the freshmen that I inherited.

Kodos · 10-27-2008, 04:06 PM

I had one ATH who was slated to be my second FB, but he only really translated into a QB. So now we have like 8 or 9 QBs.

It seems like the athletes don't project to where the physical attributes and the ratings indicate during the recruiting phase. It worked out nicely for us this year, but I think I'm going to be a little more careful with athletes.

One of our athletes, Chad Collins, will play at left end (his best position at a 77 overall rating) and could be a force with his 89 speed.

Kodos · 10-27-2008, 04:29 PM

Some of the changes seem to make little sense. Our QBs seemed to change to DEs better than they do to receivers or safeties, which seems really odd to me.

I just got home from work and am doing mine in a few minutes.

Eaglesfan27 · 10-27-2008, 06:55 PM

I hate how athletes lose their speed, if you move them to certain positions like FB.. oh well, I'm done this stage.
