Transfers, JC players?? Topic

I find no mechanism to scout just transfers or just JC players.

once you scout, you can sort and filter your recruit pool by those categories - but I dont think you can focus scouting on those categories or positions or other criteria

That blows chunks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Transfers will contact schools near them in the 2nd session. No other way to find them. I'm not a fan.

This is apparently by design. When I raised this issue during early beta, I was advised to "scout California."

Seems like a fairly patronizing response.

It wasn't as snippy as I might have made it seem. It was more of a surprising response than a patronizing one.

For context, here's the thread where I got that advice. Exact quote was "I would think you could scout CA and get plenty of JUCOs."

There *shouldn't* be transfers available until the 2nd recruiting period. In fact, I think there will be none. I asked for the assistant coach scouting trips to have a "search for JuCo" or "transfer" box to check. I'm guessing there is some background theory that makes that an undesirable add-on to the *discovery* game, but it would be a welcome addition.

in the old game we couldnt FSS targetting jucos - but I guess one could scout in other ways to concentrate on adding some jucos...

In many cases you wouldn't bother getting FSS on a Juco.

Jucos are rarely signed for their potential, as you know. They're signed to fill a need you have now.

not saying on would really care about it, just that they were covered - and agree potential less important for juco2s

and agree, wish there was a way either to give broad view of jucos or make it easier to target jucos - especially given EE situation

Not sure I really agree with this comment about Jucos. I've had some great success with redshirting Jucos who had good potential.

Look at this guy on my Ramapo team. He didn't know my Off or Def and I gave him a RS. Now he's a stud in his senior year. Avg ~24 pts, ~3.5 assists.

Sure, this happens. I did say "rarely," not "never."

I still maintain that requiring FSS + prayer to "discover" Jucos is silly, and feels primitive.

I posted on beta the other day that is like jucos and transfers to be immediately available to everyone. I think it'd be better that way.
