I took over a team in Knight and scouting started yesterday at 6. I only have 2 scholarships and my entire roster is SIM AI players. I've found way more than 2 players that I'm interested in and would like to cut one or two players to create a 4 man class for my first season here. If I cut players before recruiting starts on 11/5 will I get more recruiting money, or will be stuck recruiting with a 2 player recruiting budget no matter what?

I believe cutting any players that were signed by a SIM AI provides you the scouting + recruiting budget for those players. However, I don't know if you'll be able to cut players until the second recruiting cycle? I might be wrong, but that's what I thought at least.

Cutting players you did not sign will give you funds. However it isn't until the second period that you can cut them.

Thanks for the help
