Well, if you don't need to spend a dime on recruiting in D3, how are we lacking in scouting money? Just scout all the D1 players you can at level one and work off the letter grades. Surely we know an A/B is better than D/F, right?
I think he means recruiting money and not scouting money, as the budgets are now separated.
There are a couple different ways to recruit .. In Div-2/3 this is what I do.
I do a full local camp first thing ($12,000 and 200 recruits), as well as scout all states w/in 200 miles (or 300 miles for div-2) on FSS.
Once the camp runs, I MIGHT do the closest Elite camp if in Div-2 or the closest Standard camp in Div-3. Or I might not wait for that camp.
Once I have done all the camps I want and the FSS .. I think start at 100 miles and pick div-2/3 for a div-3 team or div-1/2 for a dvi-2 team and start scouting. After I scout all within/100 miles, I move to 200 miles and do the same, then 300 miles, etc.
I scout as many as I can .. saving a couple thousand bucks to look for transfers during session 2. If you have already found all recruits w/in 300 miles .. and if you scout looking for new recruits in session 2, then only transfers will show up .. for example.
Anyway, that is how I NORMALLY recruit at the lower levels .. then I really only look at guys scouted at > scouting level 2 and progress them out to what I think final attributes will be.
