Recruiting Revealed. LONG

Do you guys offer many promises? I did just one for a punter(No redshirt) just so I could get the achievement.

That's correct.

Here's a question...

We all know that when a recruit hard commits to your school, the next week he will be at the bottom of your Recruiting Board.

Now let's say he commits to you, but you move him before the week is over. Will that help you with someone else further down the board? Or can you even move him? Sorry, I'm not at home, so I can't test this to see.

Example...

I have a DT who is #1 on my board. He has my school #1. I pitch a few things. He is happy. I offer a scholarship. He hard commits. I have another DT #2 on my board (let's just say I need DTs A LOT). He would much rather be #1. So I pitch him. He's happy, but he doesn't commit. He could be slightly upset that he's the #2 DT on my list. Would it help to move the hard commit to the bottom of the list before playing the game that week, so that the uncommitted guy is #1? Or will that have no effect on the guy that's #2 because he still sees another DT already committed anyway?

I hope that makes sense.

Never tried but I see what you are saying. Good looking out.

Just about the only promise I will make if any is No red shirt.
I dont like losing integrity and having them transfer,

So keep your promises. I make a lot of promises, but I end up keeping them come hell or high water to keep my integrity up.

I had to play guys who weren't the best on my team because of this. Nothing too major - they were almost equal but still...I take the promise thing seriously. It's a nice feature.

Stuff like guarantee conference championship is not something you can make sure you keep though.
