Ok, if you insist that you FSS every state for every recruit you have your eye on in D3, then I guess you do. I said it was situational, z, dependant on schoarships and location. If it is 700 vs. the state of TX or CA, I'm guessing an eval is the way to go, even with the smalish, oh so small (almost no) credit. You have 2 schoarships, you won't always want to waste the FSS money on larger states, especially if they are close by and evals are cheap, no? I have as hard of time beleiving a coach will always use FSS on all targets in D3 as I do one who says they never do, too absolute.

And back to the topic. Other than the fact they are bringing bach FreeHD, what exactly was going to attract new users issac? How exactly was a feature that nobody knows about except existing coachs, going to draw in new customers? That's the disconnect I have from that argument. Retention once they get here I get.

Just like you said in another thread Doomey. Advertising. Doesn't matter if they've got a free version of the game or not, if new users can't even find the damn website.

And no, you don't ALWAYS FSS the states you recruit from in D3, it isn't economicly feasable in many cases to FSS all the states you have interest in or just for one guy. It's slight OT anyway, but if you are FSS every state you have prospects in, you might want to rethink that. No need to FSS TX if you are in NY when a scouting report is cheaper and gets you credit.



I never FSS hardey at all with my DIII team and they seem to do all right

Hell in some seasons, Texas recruiting is almost a draft of who I want, spend 5k per recruit in the initial cycle and sit back and watch no one else show up. Not every season by any means, but I bet I finish recruiting @ texas w/ over $40k over and a ranked recruiting class than seasons I end up w/ less than $20k.

Prior to FSS, there is no question recruiting at Chicago was the easiest thing in this game for me. My A+ prestige allowed me to pull down recruits other's couldn't easily bring in players from alaska or colorado or california that other's couldn't w/o fear that others could/would poach them from me. Post FSS, recruiting at Chicago is a pain in the *** and a big reason why I've lost my interest in D3. I lost interest in gameplanning a long time ago, but always enjoyed recruiting at any level. D1 is still interesting w/ the huge sums of money, particularly at Georgetown as I bash heads vs Maryland every season, but D3 requires much more work than I feel like putting in, which is turn has me short on talent and why I'm finally hanging things up at Chicago after 20+ seasons.

Well Texas for me is by far the easiest place to recruit. I have coached multiple Texas AM teams and even had a ton of sucess recruiting at Texas AM Corp Christy. Recruiting for my Florida team is by far the hardest recruiting i have ever had. I think it has more to do with team location than whether you are in DI or DIII. And my SU team under another id is somewhere in the middle.



Its all about team location if you ask me

Yep, agree Fregoe, that's a big part of it. Plus, I think most vet coaches just know better than to mess w. T A&M-Commerce.
