Sim's recruit differently from humans...they put the bulk of their effort on a kid in prior to the start of recruiting (and then a second push after signings start, not certain exactly which cycle it hits on). So getting a player from a Sim is simply a task of putting in enough effort to get moved ahead of the Sim team. Word on the Street will tell you how strong the player is considering the Sim school (because the Sim targets its efforts on 1-2 kids), and keep in mind that Sims recruit as though all recruits are 200 (or is it 250?) miles away, so you likely will not have a "distance advantage" on the Sim.
