I think the 60 bones for making us figure things out on our own is reasonable. You don't buy an RPG that comes with a walkthrough in its instruction booklet. I've been playing with recruiting for a while and have found different strategies that have worked and some that haven't. It's golden. It makes for an intense challenge that changes everytime you play, and you have to play it smart.

There's also no sense in pouting the 5*s don't all come to Stanford for me. Holy crap our defence sucks :P. USC is right down the street.

Recruit's Hint:

A recuit is ready for a visit. But you don't have good pitch info. Go ahead and schedule his visit. Once scheduled, the recruit will give you hint of what hes interested in...

Example: hi Coach, we need to sit down and discuss your depth chart.

Once you see this, go find/ or hard sell corresponding pitch (ex. playing time) and and activities (discuss depth chart).

I don't know about having to have a "pitch complete" to have it take affect. I almost never fully complete a pitch yet I have great recruiting classes. If you sat through and completed the pitch to every guy, you wouldn't be able to recruit anybody because each guy would take up 45 minutes on one pitch.

here is a question...when is the best time to offer a scholarship? In the beginning, middle or end of season?

he doesn't and there's no way to prove that it's true or false. i stop all the time before it's complete if they start frowning and, even if it's the only pitch i've made, my interest goes up

Is there a way to see the recruiting classes for all teams, or at least the top classes?

Thanks.
