They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

[hurricanefootball4]

Early enrollment recruits should definitely be added to the mix in terms of recruiting. It could be something you could search for or it could be something that you have to "unlock" during your phone calls with a recruit.

In terms of execution I would think it would be fairly easy, the early enrollment recruits get added to the roster before the offseason activities begin so that way they go through the offseason player progression, giving them an advantage over freshman that come in during the fall.

It would be a nice realistic touch b/c guys that enroll early and go through a college level offseason S&C program, spring practices, and spring games are a step ahead of the freshman that come in during the fall.

They already add transfers to the roster before the offseason activities, so I think adding a realistic amount of early enrollees (2-6) wouldn't be hard to pull off either.

What do you guys think?

It could work. I'd like it. My opinion, have it tie in with Academic Prestige (as in with recruit, not with the school.) A guy with a low desire for Academic Prestige isn't going to be someone who will be able to graduate early often. A guy with a very high Academic Prestige puts in the effort that would allow him to have a chance at graduating at 3 1/2 years instead of 4 and enrolling early.

Since a lot of recruits right now hate Academic Prestige, it could work out.

without a doubt. Then they could go through the progression stage of the off season. This would be a great addition to the game

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

I like the ideal. Along with add a Spring Game, editable recruits, and Recruit evaluation. I would be set at recruiting

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

As more and more recruits do this I think it should be implemented, but I don't think Academic prestige should have anything to do with it, all a player needs is the credit requirements to graduate, they don't need special AP credits or anything (I assume), so I think it should just be a random thing.

But if someone doesn't care one bit about school and just wants to play football, odds are they won't put in the work to graduate early. I mean, it's possible. But unlikely. The vast majority of early enrolled students have a 4.0.

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

I really don't get what this would add to the game?

In my opinion the system as a whole should be scrapped and replaced with a system that combines both pitches, and actual scouting.

While it may seem odd because most of their stats would be done with but sending actual recruits to scout would be nice.

Something just seems strange to me that I(as a coach) am calling the same prosect every week to talk about the exact same things. If I were the recruit I would get kinda annoyed.

Im sure somebody will refute everything I said but these are just my opinions.

It would add realism to the game. Recruiting and dynasty really need an overhaul, I agree -- the point of the post is that Early Enrollees should be a part of recruiting.

I agree that it should be changed up dramatically, but this is one way they could easily improve the current system without an overhaul. It is a small addition, but one that would be nice.

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

This would be a great addition. The early enrollees should get a huge boost in AWR over freshman who arrive in the fall. It should be difficult for freshman who arrive in the fall to play right away. Of course a spring game who need to be added to make all of this worth it.

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

I love the idea.... I will say that in my league (which I would consider HARDCORE) we have some guys that really dig to the depths of recruiting and truly figure out the most economical way to do things (these guys dominate) and then we have another few guys that really can't be bothered to go that far with things. They look for a highly rated guy that looks good and likes them, put them on the board, and start going through the motions.

Something like this would widen the gap even further between the guys who love this stuff, and the guys who just do it to get to the next game. It would have both good and bad consequences for a typical league.

What I really like about is that it adds storyline layers and adds a year (or however) to the period of time that each player is involved with your team, etc...

Re: They Should Add This Aspect to Recruiting

A "game-y" way that early enrollees might be handled could be:

• they favor schools with high academic prestige in the ways previously suggested
• once they commit, if the recruit does enroll early (based on recruit's importance placed on academic prestige + school's academic prestige + some random factor to allow for variability) they get put onto the team before the progression step (rather than after as most recruits are), to simulate being in the program for spring and summer practice

Openly brainstorming here. I like the idea of their inclusion.

Pretty much the exact same way I picture it. About the only way I can think of that would work.

I agree.... I think in my post above I was thinking of something else. That would be really simple and cool. No downside.
