cut everyone except Hua (coz he's a Sr and will be gone in 1 season), Williams and Musselman (because they are the most serviceable Jrs). I coach one of your nearby neighbors in Phelan, so I can't give you too much specific advice. Take your limited budget and scout 200 miles out (first search for recruits with the distance setting at 200, then look at what states that is). You could further filter your search for something like only players above say 40 ath and 40 def, maybe throw in a WE limit of 30 or so. See how many results turn up from which states. Ignore anyone with any "stars" (they won't talk to you anyway). That should leave you a couple (expensive) states. FSS the states that qualify that have a decent number of targets. First cycle you may want to send calls or letters as some of your targets still might blow you off, but if you have some targets you favor try offering a scholie and a start right away. You might just get listed. Not everyone who recruits is diligent about evaluating battles. If you show a ton of openings, some will think you have a ton of money. Not all (coz its not that hard to check your NEWS tab) but it can help keep some folks away. Find the best 6 freshman you can. Take a flyer on an ineligible (or 2, why not - theoretically they can both report). If you are broke but get your 6, no biggie, 3 walkons and fill them next season. You will suck this year either way. If you have players (presigning) that you are worried about losing late (probably won;t happen at this level) don't bother trying to fill your non frosh spots til after signings. Like rogelio says, keep an eye on the bigger schools to see who they end up casting off. You can pick up what are really pretty decent players (most likely wouldn't be on the radar of a successful big 6 if they sucked) that just didn't make the cut at that level...
Recruiting is the key, so be diligent. Look at everything 6 different ways and try to find players with complimentary abilities. You are unlikely to be able to land anyone that is good at everything like the big schools, so find one big that can rebound and another that can score for instance...
GL. You can hit me up if you have other questions, but like I mentioned, I'm at Columbia and in my 3rd season, so we might even be pursuing some of the same kids...
