I believe I read (or could be wrong) where it becomes cheaper the longer into recruiting one goes. Is this true? And is it any cheaper to wait until recruiting starts than to purchase prior to period?
Thanks

It becomes cheaper the longer into recruiting one goes because players are signed, meaning less players are available in that given state. For example, if New York started out with 240 prospects and costs $1,560 to scout, and then 65 players sign once signings first become possible (leaving New York with 175 recruits) the cost would go down to $1,137.

The only reason the cost goes down is because players sign with teams and thus become unavailable. For this reason, it is not any cheaper to wait until recruiting starts than to purchase prior to the recruiting period (i.e. in season the season before).

Thanks backboy...that makes sense as well

if you purchase FSS prior to the recruiting season, do additional recruits then show up that you may have missed?  I don't mean transfers and JUCOs, but true freshmen

I have never noticed that

Recruits aren't added later on except for transfers.  

Transfers? cuts are made before recruiting

New players don't appear, but they can change lists based upon the prestige changes to your team when the season rolls over. I used to purchase FSS before the rollover for teams I thought might be dropping prestige so I could take note of the players that disappeared from the list because I knew they'd be either quick drops or cheap pulldowns for me in recruiting.

All the recruits are generated way before you are allowed to cut someone.

I believe cuts are made before recruiting period opens not signings begin

Cuts can be made after the season rolls over until signing begin.

Players who leave on their own, leave before recruiting begins.  But you can cut players until signings start.
