I am not crying but where is the logic? I lost more than the NT finalists... Impossible to prepare for it. If I get lucky, with six schollies to fill now, even preparing for one leaving won't cut it. I will get lucky If I sign three, two maybe, one is more realistic...

Yeah, you kinda are.

Were they good players? If so, there's the logic. Good players declare early.

But Mike, it's not how good they are : some better players stayed on many other teams. I prepared to lose two players and was allright with that outcome, even recruited accordingly. With Corbitt, on the fence, winning DOY, third team all American, I figured he was gone.

Sigh. Do you think, in the real world, that all of the EE are the best? Tim Duncan was pretty good. Tim Duncan played 4 years of college ball.

Realism, bro!!!

Well, it's another example that the oft-cited maxim 'tournament success effects EEs' is bs....

We still need some sort of rule to make it fair to everyone. I had three leaving one season, now four... Anyways, people without multiple ees can't understand until they see how random this is.

LOL. This has been the game for a year. I've read so much about EE that my eyes bleed when I see "EE" so don't give me "can't understand". When you recruit top of the line players, they might leave. It's not magic.

In real life do you have a set amount of attention points determined by how many openings you have?

Schools have budgets. Not sure what point you're attempting to make.

The NCAA puts all kinds of restrictions on contact with recruits.

I'll get right to the point, you're saying, "hey man, players leave in real life, realism!"

And, while that's correct, the game places not-real-life constraints on actions that make EEs a problem that is unlike real life.

Schools do not have unlimited resources and the NCAA restricts recruit contact. Two facts.

I understand it sucks to have four EE but limited resources/contact are facts of life.

Yeah, that's correct. But those things don't vary based on how many openings you officially have.
