My pet suggestion in the style of preferences would be "pipelines" - recruit a kid from a certain high school and for two seasons you get a boost at that school
Recruit a kid in a small geographic area - lets say an area that averages apx 20 recruits each season - and you get a boost in that area (cant say "in a state" because that would equate California and Alaska.....
I want to be able to build a pipeline from Des Moines or Puerto Rico or Lithuania
I love that idea fd. And just to take it a step further, what if you could hire an assistant coach to a 5-6 season contract. You could have the option of:
1) Sign a recruit's dad and receive a huge boost to signing that recruit. But since it's a 6 season contract, you wouldn't get any additional benefit from this hiring for 6 seasons.
2) Sign a high school coach and get a moderate boost for any recruit from that HS for the 6 season period.
3) Sign some sort of state recruiting expert and get a small boost for any recruit from that state (or area of a state for the larger states).
There's a lot of things that could be implemented to make the recruiting process more strategic and fun.
