So after a few days recruiting in Warner without it I have to say that a) it feels like flying blind about what other coaches are doing
but more importantly b) I simply did not have the time in the first cycle to make decisions even on the players I was recruiting myself. This is the most important 3 hour window, and if you are working the time is not enough. I managed to scrape together about 25 minutes during that window, and that wasn't enough time to click on every recruit to even just see a scouting report, or what other teams got on him. With the tool that would have been enough to have a pretty exact idea about my own class. In other words, without the tool I will have to give up the game, simply for lack of time during recruiting.
I anticipate the same thing, which is why I dropped my Div 1A team in Warner. I recruited for my Div 2 team, and it wasn't horrible. Mostly because of max vision and multiple 'Undecided'
I dread trying to recruit in Div 1A. It's so competitive with 95%+ of the players being contested. There is no vision advantage since everyone has the same vision. As a non elite school in the middle of nowhere you really have to bob and weave to try and avoid expensive battles. Not many local recruits like the Div 2 team. I will try it once and see how it goes.
