I'm going through the recruits, there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot that are worth too much trouble, I'm through about half, flagging the guys who are decent and I've gone through a few conf. without flagging anyone, including my own. Of course I'll go back through my own and see if I can find some role player that I can pickup, but besides that it looks like and OOC year for me... Am I the only one like this??? |

Chris, do I need to do something in the setup prior to asking it to retrieve all the stuff? I know you are rather computer-savvy.

Did you do the stuff on the SETUP page?
In cell B3, you need to paste the "Click here to RECRUIT" link's URL that is on the "Coach My Team" page.
If so, then, did you first off, run the "Retrieve Recruits, Attributes and Statistics" routine? You need to do this atleast once. It pulls all the players. The next time you want to update, then you will only need to run "Update Statistics Only".
Let me know.

I screwed up the first few times. I pasted it in cell A3, where you have the RECRUITING URL highlighted in yellow. I just pasted in cell B3 and it downloaded everything. Now, the only problem is that I isn't listing the attributes. It only retrieved the statistics. And, I know for sure I clicked on the right button.

OK, I got it to work, downloaded and everything. I went to save and fricking Excel generated errors and closed itself!
Oh well, I am going to do it again and wondered if I am able to work in other windows while the program does its thing or if I have to keep the Excel window at the front in order for this to work. Thanks in advance and thanks for doing this RSF. For the 20 seconds I had everything perfect, it was awesome.

I got everything downloaded. Many thanks!!
You're right Excel 2000 does take forever. It downloaded the regions in about 5 minutes and I was thinking that was fast. Then it starts, Player 1 of 768, Player 2 of 768, etc., etc. . .
I left the house, came back an hour later and it was on Player 483 of 768. It finally finished about 30 minutes after that.
Thank you again RSF! This will be very, very helpful.

My 4 (so far)... Larimore (8), Bland (22), Pike (24), Beasley (11). I am still thinking about dropping Pike, though. And I gave a point to Dohn from Ann Arbor.

Dohn is a huge scorer, I don't think a point will get him :)
I had a feeling you'd be on Pike. You have a magical way of winning those 12 way ties :)

How do you guys judge a player with good/excellent attributes but lower statistical production? Would you stay off that guy?

RSF, if he's EXC, I tend to ignore 5 games worth of stats as insignificant.
I find players like that tend to gravitate towards the stats you'd expect of them as the season progresses.
There are different schools of thought on stats/ratings vs scout. I've been burned too many times by high stats, low rated, poor scouts before, but others like KM and bmd have had huge success with them.
We all have our personal biases, so it's tough to say one way is "right", but that's the way I look at it.

No, it's pretty easy. My way is right. :)
Truth be told, I look almost exclusively at stats. Of course, if I have a guy in my region with great atts and average stats, I'll give him a strong look, but on the whole, the first and most important factor for a recruit for me is stats.
The caveat to this is that you can't bank on the guys with the great stats and poor atts being great. Which is why, if you recruit the way I do, you need to get as many leads as possible to ensure that you get the best recruits possible (that aren't crappy). Also, if you do this, it's best not to give priority points because you are banking on the atts changing and there is no way to know which ones are going to change.

Like G Dogg, I seem to tend to go with stats more than attributes, but along with that I also take into heavy consideration performances in the 2 in-conference scrimmages I schedule before recruits are due, especially for a stat like FG%, which is somewhat difficult to predict from anywhere else.

Oh, and I know no one cares, but with 2 of the teams in my conference becoming computer-controlled this season, I'm hoping in-conference recruiting will be a tad easier, so that's where I'm focusing my efforts. My 4 maxes:
Hartley (6), Vowels (6), Danahy (6), and my lone OOC, Clayton (25) (I want an exc shooter!)

I couldn't really find 4 guys to max, hell, couldn't even find 3, so I started out by giving 2 maxes and a couple of 9s and a bunch of 1's
my 2 maxes:
Eric Trowell (4)
Benny Leslie (29) damn you KM, I need him more than you!!!!
My 9's:
Edrick Truitt (29)
Baron Dobbs (1)

I was wondering if you guys knew if it was still possible to name highschool recruits if you win the NTT. I ask because my team in league 16 is in the final four and I can't find any info on the site about naming recruits other than paying for them.

Yes, buchster, you can. Simply email p6k the recruit names and let him know that you are in the final four. Otherwise, if you win, he will just give your team credits. You can email him at pick6king@simulatedsports.com.

Wow, my team is bad. My starters are all solid, but I have no one to back them up. 3 of my starters are Frosh and 2 are Jr, so hopefully i get 3 solid recruits and i can have a decent team next year.. but anyhow here are my starters this year...
PG 12.2PPG 4.8AST
SG 10.2 PPG 3BRDS FROSH
SF 7.5 PPG 3BRDS 2 AST

Matt - you're starters do look pretty good.
Here's my team, as you can see, only 2 guys playing well:
Seaman, So. - 31.2 PPG, 2.2 APG, 1.8 TO, 1.2 SPG, 53.3 Sh%
Jesse, Jr. - 10.2 PPG, 1.5 APG, 2.5 TO, 1.5 SPG
Ochsner, Fr - 2.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.8 APG, 0.5 TO, 1.2 SPG, 18.2% shooting :)
Beatty - Fr - 5.0 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.2 TO, 6 Blocks
Bailey - So - 13.5 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 1.5 TO, 3 blocks.
I know its early, but I like stats! My Forwards have better A to TO ratio than my guards!!! Too bad Ochsner is 6'9" I'd really like him at PG.
2-2 so far on the year, with 2 straight wins. Bailey just came off an 18 pt, 18 board performance. Seaman has 78 points in the last 2 games. Bring on the Schlomoes!!!!

The Mighty Roosters are struggling at 2-2. More importantly, we're getting KILLED on the glass. So I messed with the lineup a bit, but who knows what will happen. We got 46 boards in an exhibition game, but were pounded twice in a row in the last two games.
I'm on Poole too, and from the look of things, it's going to be a 13 or 14 way tie. Two of my maxes are pretty "safe" I'd like to think, although I wish they had a little more talent.
I might just give that Prewitt guy a point, just for his name. Hell, if Baloo Henn can be all conference...

My team (ranked 17th) played the 246th ranked team, and I was up 78-34 at half.
