[Marino]

Anything and everything about recruiting can be discussed in this thread.

This may not be the same thing but its all about recruiting in general...

Last year, there was an awesome thread for recruiting info (The All Things Recruiting Thread) and I figured I'd start it off for this year as well. I just joined an OD to check out the interface and whatnot and I'm already seeing some things I'm wondering about. So I'll start the 2010 all things recruiting thread with this question. Why are some teams interest bars yellow on a recruit's interest meter? I thought it meant these were his top 3 choices, but it varies. I've seen recruits with all teams with yellow interest bars and I've seen as little as 2 teams with yellow bars. What is this?

EDIT: This is preseason recruiting BTW.

Here it is, I merged the two threads together.

Just read through Hellisan's recruiting post (good info there) and thought a stickied thread with questions, comments, concerns would be beneficial to all of us. Some questions that Hellisan raised

- How do you effectively use the recruit against feature?
- What are the color coded bars in relation to prospect interest mean (why are some yellow and some red)

I would like to know these things as well. That's the reason I created the thread. I didn't expect to see it on the 4th page in only a few hours after I created it lol. I guess it's just not that important to other people.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, why did these two threads get combined? Hellisan's thread is about HIS recruiting trail and what not, while the one I created was so people could ask questions pertaining to ALL aspects of recruiting. While he does raise some good questions in it, Hellisan's thread and my thread are not the same.

Im not sure but I was guessing it indicates the recruits interest in the school.

For example, the top 2 may be green and the 3rd is yellow.

Maybe it means he really likes the first 2 schools, and has interest in the 3rd but is not as high on them...

I'm wondering if way over rated incoming recruits (specifically 2 and 3 star) can be lowered with patch work? If so, can you PLEASE add it to patch #2. EA claimed in an interview that incoming recruits and progression had been tweaked so there weren't so many superstar freshman.
