Shoe My big concern is that, you can't get a class of 6 or 5... Like before. So it takes patience...
I'm in my second year at Navy. I signed five freshmen, two in the first session, three in the second.
Right, getting a bunch of players isn't a problem. There are no shortage of role players and projects that you can pick up for little or no human fight. Has it ever worked to move up to a C- or lower D1 and try to sign 5 or 6 elite players? Generally, the strategy was to get a team with a lot of scholarships so you could try to pick off 1 or maybe 2 starred players with all those resources, then fill the class with guys you didn't have to fight for - or the same caliber players now who will fill low prestige D1 teams. Same as before, except now lower teams *have a chance* to successfully battle for more than 1 or 2 players. It's still going to be tough going if you're in a tough conference, or close proximity to higher prestige schools.
