Anyone else notice that SIMs are signing many (most?) of their recruits right when signings begin at 12:00 noon on the third day (72 hours into recruiting)?
It used to be that SIMs wouldn't start signing recruits until a few days after signings began. That meant that once you locked down your most important recruits, and signed them, then you could fill out your remaining few schollies with recruits who were considering SIMs.
But now, with so many recruits signing with SIMs right when signings begin, there are far fewer decent recruits to select from if you still need to fill a scholly or two in the hours or days after signings began.
Honestly, I think I prefer it this way. It certainly improves the SIMs' recruiting, and in turn, their rosters. Makes for more competitive SIM-coached teams.
