The real problem IMO with D3 is not recruiting but scouting. Smaller budget AND you have to scout three levels. So your recruit pool is not going to have that many D1 players that fit for you, compared to D2 teams.
I disagree about D1 being way too available for D3 teams. Recruits not even considering signing them until the last 24 hours is a hideous disadvantage.
In 3.0, when I grabbed a second team in Wooden and started the build up at DIII, I only scouted DI players....literally not a penny spent looking at DII or DIII. Worked out pretty well. I did the same at DII.
