One observation early: when you team doesn't have many strengths (I have A or A+ in Academic Prestige, Campus Lifestyle, and Coach Experience--proximity and early play time changes by recruit, but I'm trying to use those as much as possible, too) and a lot of weaknesses (Cs/Ds in everything else except a B+ in Program Stability), it's really affecting my strategy. I knew it would be difficult, so I ended up cutting a lot of players in the off season to thin out my depth chart and improve my Early Play Time across the board. I'm also having to spend more time trying to sway recruits up on the pitches I have an A or A+ in, which I never had to really do at UGA (except when I was trying to take advantage of another school's weakness.)

Also, I've basically just gone through and set my Recruiting Board based on the players that were interested in me; Tulane isn't good enough to really create interest because a "good" recruiting session is about +300; at UGA I typically had +450-500. I also know that my classes will continue to get better because I'll keep winning, so I'm not too worried about having to land great players in this class; my team is frankly so bad that any 3-star is an improvement.
