I've had pretty good success with this strategy when i have DI squads with D- to C- prestige. Working on this guys at the moment.

Even after a redshirt, this guy never reached his full potential. He was the top scorer and a starter on our team that went to the NT.

two guys here

Lin will have cores in the 80s, another D1 level guy, nothing special

Hickman has a chance to be special. He should have ath/speed/def in the 90s and might be able to score as well.

I got him on a lark when I scoured VT with the end of my cash.

I currently have the worst recruiting class in phelan

I was about to get a bombass DII Juco in Allen (DII) but BC dropped down and took him :(.

thinking FB/zone

for an all d2 roster trying to compete in d1?? i don't know, part of me feels like fb/fcp is the only answer. although you'll be underdog a lot, i could see wanting slowdown - triangle/press perhaps - its just that like, no matter how studly the best d2 recruits are, you have to expect you are behind on talent to like... everyone. any decent human at least. so aren't you trying to offset that - where as zone just straight makes it worse?

Well, there isn’t a right answer, there may be a less wrong answer though......

Here is my rationale:

1. I think I am going to be able to have acceptable defense on average, something like 80 ath, 90 def.
2. I will not be able to sign a true PG or scorer with acceptable defense.
3. Without a true scorer, FB will help since it emphasizes ath and speed more and lp And per less.
4. Recruiting high ATH post players is proving challenging so using zone which emphasizes blk more and ath less.

got to go FB/Press IMO and it isn't close. You should have good ath/de and decent depth. You certainly don't have to take walkons to make recruiting easier.

Second, I think you should recruit a 90+ sp/per/bh/pa guy at least 1 of 3 seasons and try to have 50 or so ath/de on them.

I think I do need walk ons,I need a ton of scouting cash. It’s hard scouting the entire frigging country

this sounds extremely annoying for d3/d2 teams in the area - you should start doing it in all 10 worlds - perhaps you'll even get some ab style love?
