I think recruits can sign whenever they want. I am basing this on the "Insta-commit" perk you can unlock as an experienced coach. So I suppose you could offer a scholly in week 3, and if you are first on the recruits list, he may sign with you.

If I remember correctly, there will be more recruiting battles that last until signing day assuming one or more schools stays within a certain distance of the number 1 school. The offseason for recruiting will be two weeks: one where you will have a ton of points to allocate to any number of remaining recruits, and signing day, where you see where uncommitted recruits ended up. I don't think you can get decommits, but I'm not 100%.

Teambuilder has so much potential and it's gotten minimal attention.

I love teambuilder, dont get me wrong. But I think they are going by the approach that it is NCAA football, not create a custom football league (I wish it was at least an option). But using us as a small example, it would be hard to target a specific area of teambuilder to address. For example, I would like an entire league of Teambuilder teams, I dont really care much about specific makers or any of that. Where as you do want specific makers and may not care if you can put 126 (whatever) teams in the game. Also, there are a lot of people who dont give a flying yahoo about teambuilder. While a little addidional attention would have been nice, I can see why they would rather spend all their resources on improving** the core game.

They can commit any time, but it looks like they'll commit much later than in years past. Granted this is a sample size of 1, but look at the picture below:


This dude signed 21 kids, but only 2 before week 10. In '13, he probably would've signed 16 of them before week 10.

Sigh. Its more realistic the.other way. Only having 2 verbals before week 10 is a disaster for any class. Alot of schools have 5 to 10 verbals right now.

Do we know if we can still recruit committed players? If a player commits to Ohio State can we still recruit them hoping to sway them? This type of stuff happens in real life, just because a verbal is given doesn't mean they stick with it.

Along with that, do computer controlled coaches get fired and if so do recruits de-commit if a coach is fired? One of the kids I coached in high school had committed to Auburn before the season but once Gene Chizik got fired he de-committed and opened his recruiting back up, visited FSU, UF, RU & LSU and ultimately signed his letter of intent to LSU.

Hopefully these are in the game.
