By first cycle, you mean first session, right?
Is he at a lower division than the players he's recruiting? If so, then they're held at Moderate by Spud's Red Light.
Have your brother read this, it'll help.

Yes, first session. And yes, he is D2 going after D1. Does this mean none will sign until session two?
Correct. From the guide-
DROP DOWNS / PULL DOWNS:
Drop downs and pull downs do not exist In HD 3.0. Every player is recruitable. Even D3 teams can go after D1 players, although they will not sign until the last day of the second cycle. D2 teams can sign D1 players at the beginning of the second cycle. The way you are prevented from signing these players before that time is that the maximum level of interest that a player above your division will show is "moderate", until the time that they are allowed to sign, and players only sign at High or Very High. Keep in mind though, that while you will not change from moderate to high/very high until the 2nd cycle (or last day of 2nd cycle) you are STILL earning credit on that recruit. And even though you are moderate, if you pump effort into the recruit, you will keep the other teams low/very low. It's not like this effort is being wasted.
SUMMARY:
D1 teams- Can sign any recruit during either session.
D2 teams- Can sign D2 and D3 recruits during either session. Can only sign D1 recruits in 2nd session.
D3 teams- Can sign D3 recruits during either session. Can only sign D2 recruits during 2nd session. Can only sign D1 recruits during last 24 hours of 2nd session.
