zhawks, if you really think evals are useless, you are missing a serious dimension of recruiting. even if you are one of those d1 only coaches, i maintain my statement. if you aren't, then you are missing a HUGE dimension.

kmason, evals don't have intermediate levels for medium. you can't tell the difference between low medium and high medium or anything like that. there are 5 levels. low low, high low, medium, low high, and high high. i discovered this with solid research, and had it verified by CS. CS and/or seble agrees it makes no sense to split low into two categories while medium is one.

Currently, yes I am only a d1 coach. But I don't see what new information an Eval could possibly bring to me that is worth it. If there were 2 players at d2 that were close and everything else equal (ie distance, ratings, battle/no battle) Which would be highly unlikely I might look deeper into the Eval box to see if one player was slightly better then the other but the cost to information ratio is so poor with Evals.

zhawks are you forgetting about INT players, you cant use FSS on them, the only way to find anything out on them is with evals. I don't read them on players I use the FSS on but they are a very important recruiting tool esp in D-3 and D-2.

i wish that he would stop sitemailing me inappropriate pictures.

Sure if you recruit International players fine, that doesn't really mean anything tho, imo, because you could use FSS for a fraction of the cost and find a very similar player and get all his info (plus everyone else's in his state) for much cheaper then 1 eval to an International player.
