JUCO's are very important for a low-D1 coach to use, they serve as "intermediaries" between different prestige levels (ex: you don't want to have 6 Freshman that were recruited with D prestige because it's not going to be easy to get to the postseason with them as it would with 4 recruits that were recruited with D+ prestige, plus JUCOs help you get your prestige up quicker).
Try to get a team that has good synergy, like a couple of guys can defend, a couple of guys can score, just recruit players that are good in a couple of things, it's usually not good to recruit really well-rounded players with such a low prestige.
Also at low D1 it' can be very helpful to take a walk-on (don't be scared of even 2), you may need the extra cash to sign better players.It's very important to use Scouting Trips at low D1 to find whether a guy is "high-high" in a category so you can find the diamonds in the rough.
And then lastly don't be afraid to sign international recruits, they can be real gems.
