FWIW- I pulled down a #42 SF #181 overall with 20 scouting trips.
I understand potential and recruiting best possible guy, point of the question is if I find a guy I really like ranked in top 40 is it worth going after him?
Anyone else have similar experiences with D prestige?
If you are able to recruit him, and you like him, there's not going to be a losing battle fought, then sure it's worth going after him. Just make sure you CAN go after him before you waste a bunch of money. Send the
coach a phone call and find out if he can be recruited immediately, if you're a back-up option, or if he's out of your league.
Cost you ten bucks, but you'll know for sure where you stand. I much prefer calling the coach because there is no ambiguity about whether he's immediately recruitable and sometimes the player messages can be just a little confusing to a newer coach (which one shouldn't be if he's recruiting at D1, but I digress. A lot). Plus, not that it generally matters much, but you might get info on what offense and defense the player knows. That isn't real important for freshman recruits, but for JuCos it can often be a deal breaker. So yeah, there ya go!! Hope that helped, if even just a little.
