Manhattanville and York, PA. would keep their current offensive/defensive setups. Stevenson would have to change from Flex to FB eventually.

I'm wanting to move on to another program that's not been human-coached in awhile. I took over bofreedom's Alma program but want to see what I can do from scratch with my own players. I realize second session recruiting will be tough with a job change but that's part of the challenge, especially with the Coaching time preference. I want to stay at D3.
Any constructive thoughts would be appreciated.

If you are looking for a rebuild from scratch with your own players, stay away from York. All sophomores and freshmen.

Personally, I would go to Manhattanville. I'd cut Linkous, Mims & Hall before second session recruiting and try to find 3 decent freshmen to replace them. This will also allow you to balance out your classes to 3 players leaving each season.

I love doing rebuilds from scratch. Here is my advice: don't worry about what the current roster looks like (in terms of talent) or what the current O/D is. If you are doing a true rebuild, you are going to be *terrible* in your first year. The goal of your first two seasons is to recruit high potential players and give them a ton of playing time and use the returning players as backups.

Thanks grimace

If you want a team that hasn't had a human coach in a long time and is well positioned for you to succeed, look at UW-Stevens Point.

They haven't had a human coach in over 50 seasons and they have a six man junior class, which will allow you to clean up in your first full recruiting class and get your own players in there.

Agreed Manhattanville +1

Thanks grimace and eagles. I'm 99.9% sure it's going to be Manhattanville. I always check out the school's website in real life and I'm sold, lol. I'll be cutting those three players in the frontcourt and hopefully find some quality replacements. These "Manhattanville Valiants" are ready to roll.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions.
