Recruiting Priorities

Re: Recruiting Priorities

Ive also notice that team's hired coaches with similar styles to their last coach...I dont know if this is true or not but over the years in my legacy Ive notice a pattern....It seem like almost every year Mark Few repaces Lute Olsen, so I changed Few's profile up to see what would happen, Arizona went a different route...Ive even seen Huggins former assistant replace him at W.Virginia when Huggins retired! Again I dont no if its true or not but this is what I have notice...It was alot more

I recently noticed this as well. Virigina has become a power house in my game, and for some reason they hire old coaches, they're a final four team nearly every year so they have frequent coaching changes often because their coaches usually retire. Anyway, they had 3 coaches in a span of 5-6 years, I noticed that all of the coaches had a similar coaching styles of Tony Bennett. Which is also why good smaller coaches have a hard time getting jobs. But a good test would be to edit the school who you feel could potentially change coaches, to the style of the coach you want to move on to a bigger school.

While messing around with Recruiting Priorities for the Power conferences, I came to the conclusion that (Skills & Size) was the best way to go.

I simmed 5 years ahead and looked at how they stacked up, while some did overload on big men (about 1 or 2 Teams per conference), it is alot better than not having them go after big men at all. Besides, you can edit the undersized PF's into SF's.

1st recruiting priority = Skills
2nd recruiting priority = Size

I'm going to test this, and setting some teams to none. I feel like North Carolina and Kentucky should most definitely be Skills and Size.

Did you ever go through and test those recruiting priorities? Would love to hear your findings.

Re: Recruiting Priorities

I actually did test it awhile back, but I vaguely remember it tho.

Re: Recruiting Priorities

Love having this for the base game rosters. My skills at updating rosters and everything are non-existent lol, so I've been lookong to start a new legacy just using "original" rosters.
So I can use these for the recruiting aspect, but is there anywhere I can find something similar for the rest of the coach profile information for the base game coaches? I've been searching for it and haven't had any luck yet.
