The controller ran an extra cycle as a side effect of a problem with the games this afternoon. It's an isolated incident.
Wait, so that's it? This extra cycle ran on the 2nd to last cycle before signings started. I was ahead on a kid since 3rd cycle day 1. Initially there were 4 of us he was considering, but by today it had dropped to me and 1 other school. During this double cycle thing I went behind, and then further behind. I was waiting to see what kind of effort my opponent put in to see what I would need to overcome it on the final cycle. Instead I got hammered twice before I could respond. Then signings were set to start. Since I had a backup considering me (although if it looked like I was going to get the kid in question I planned to cut an inherited player (I just took over this school) I had 5 guys for 4 spots, but I would have either cut a player or revoked the offer to the backup option. Since I had no idea what was up with this, I sent a ticket and didn't cut the player. Naturally my back-up option and my other 3 intended recruits signed, and now I have no spots left, so I lose the 1 guy that I truly wanted out of my class, and all I get is "it is an isolated incident"? That isn't going to work for me.
