And, how do I write the formulas (S1)?  Same way I would in an Excel spreadsheet?

Sorry cmhbuck, this thread went off the front page so fast, I never saw your questions.  I'm going to wait to see if JConte adds gpa to the main recruit search before I do anything with it in the recruiting tool.  If he doesn't add it to that search page within the next few weeks, I'll try to add a way to get them in the recruiting tool.

Also, bhazlewood posted formulas for the recruiting tool on page 8 of this thread.  You can copy and paste those as well as modify them.

Wow. Good stuff.

hey, yatzr, first off great stuff. I am new to the whole gridiron game and my first recruiting cycle starts tomorrow and I was wondering if you could explain the formulas?

Thanks

hey, i keep getting an error when trying to download the recruits... it tells me to send the log file to yatzr...?

There are a few people getting that error when trying to download recruits.  It doesn't happen to me, so it's difficult for me to figure out what the problem is.  I haven't found a solution yet.  Sorry.

It happens to me a lot. If you keep trying it will go through eventually. Takes a couple tries sometimes.

ah well, ill keep on trying then, hope you can find out what the problem is eventually, was a great tool before it died on me

ukripa and darryl what operting system are you using... hardware software etc...... and how many times are you having to try it to get it to work....i have tiried like a 10 or 20 times and nothing...

I've made a version that *might* fix the issue that some people are having.  I'm about 90% confident this will work for you.  Here's a direct link to this special version.  Just replace the old jar file with this one and leave the other files there.  Please let me know if it works.

Bump because I need someone who was getting the error to try this version and tell me if it works.

I am using XP and it usually works after the 2nd or 3rd try.

If the old version worked at all for you, then you weren't getting the same error as the other people.  Can you open the error.log file (just open it in notepad) and sitemail me what it says?

The only time it has ever done that for me was when I typed in the wrong password.
