Knight has 275 recruits in NY for next year, 136 in IL, 59 in IA, OH 125.  It looks like the Tark recruiting pool is just an anomaly.  Maybe it's possible that seble introduced a greater variability in the total number of recruits generated?  There does seem to be a big spread.

And Knight has more than Rupp.  Although I haven't looked at the top guys to see how they fall out.

100th-rated is 649.

this is very weird, and i hope it does not negatively mess with me (for instance, i hope they don't go back to better and more recruits next cycle) because i have so much money this period, but am i the only one that plays the hand that im dealt? i just really don't get upset about things like this, i just do the best i can with whatever they give me. im not sure why, because i get up in arms about other things, but stuff like this just really doesn't mess with me.

I don't have any evidence for this, but I remember from somewhere that recruit generation has to do slightly with the amount of open scholarships total in the world.  Is it possible that there was just a general lack of scholarships available in Tark this year and therefore the number of recruits was reduced to fit that?

its cuz i just joined tark, every high school senior quits basketball.

SEBLE WHAT'S GOING ON

Holy crap, I just did the #s, in Phelan there are 3833 recruits covered by FSS give or take a couple of states I may have repeated when counting in Tark it's 2062, that's absurd.

I agree, i just checked around all of my worlds and and tark is considerably less than others.

i sent in a ticket last night when i made this thread. i would recommend others create a thread, to get seble's attention.

although, honestly, i don't know what a possible fix is. you can't really add more players, that would be totally screwed up. but, recruiting is totally messed up. i don't think we should have to pay for this season. all of my teams are going to take walkons, even if they have extra money, because there are so many fewer competent recruits.

Allen has something like 4200 

Someone should have told seble that I left Tark this season, not joined lol ;)

from CS:

Jeff,

The overall number of recruits is correct. The number generated for a world is based on the number of anticipated openings (which is total walkons and graduating players). So the number of recruits will vary some from season to season and world to world. One issue might be that the slotting of recruits for a particular division/prestige level was off after the release on 2/3. This problem was addressed on 2/16, but the recruits for Tark were generated before that release so they were not affected. So for this recruiting season you may need to look outside your normal search parameters to find the expected number of players.
