Can't comment on the class without knowing potentials.

Morgan is high potential in defense, low post and durability; low potential in athleticism, rebounding, shot blocking, perimeter, passing and stamina.
Peter is high potential in FT%, speed, defense, low post and stamina; low potential in athleticism, perimeter, ball handling, passing and durability.
Davis is high potential in FT% and rebounding; low potential in athleticism, perimeter, passing and stamina.
Olson is high potential in FT%, speed, rebounding, shot blocking, low post and durability; low potential in athleticism, perimeter and ball handling.

In that case individually most of them look OK.  Morgan should make a solid SF someday.  Overall though with the low potentials in BH and P that team looks like a future turnover machine...

I know everyone in the forum knows/says you cannot pull down a D1 player to D3, but has anyone actually tried it?

What about a D1 player that didn't get any D1 interest so may be on the cusp of "dropping" to D2... could he perhaps be convinced to take the next step and be pulled all the way down to D3?

So far this recruitment, I've signed 3 pulldowns and have the 4th considering us and only us. I don't think it'll cost much more to get him to sign.

I will have one scholarship left open, will probably have between $6k and $7k left to throw at it, and we've got an A prestige. Is there really no chance at all?

No, there is no way to pull a D1 player down to D3. I got curious and tried it for myself after winning a D3 national title and still got no love.

Occasionally you can get one that drops down from D1 as a transfer. I had a SG Richard Ruder drop down for one of my D3 teams a few seasons ago for his final season. I think those guys drop though because they were originally D2 players that the D1 school picked up instead of taking a walk-on. They don't receive any playing time at D1 and then decide to transfer. They are nice when you get 'em though!
