cartman · 05-06-2012, 07:50 PM

Whew, was able to talk the three into staying. They were the crown jewels of my first recruiting class.

Eaglesfan27 · 05-06-2012, 09:14 PM

I convinced both my guys to stay. Still, I lost a LOT of talent to graduation - top 2 QB's, top 2 RB's, top 3 WR's, and a bunch of other solid players.

MacroGuru · 05-06-2012, 10:08 PM

I convinced Scott and McCarthy to stay, looks like Kodos receives a new transfer with Williams.

Kodos · 05-06-2012, 10:35 PM

Woot!

TRO · 05-06-2012, 10:57 PM

I lost my LB, my defense is likely going to be taking a step back next year.

But, I did convince the Heisman trophy winner to come back for a chance at a championship. w00t!

gstelmack · 05-07-2012, 07:59 AM

It's going to be VERY competitive next year. My starting QB stayed with some WR talent, should be able to replace RB and others. I'm a bit worried about my defense that was winning lots of games for me, we'll have to see how that does.

chesapeake · 05-07-2012, 08:33 AM

I'm sad to see the CB go. He was an important part of the defense and I can't help but to think that his draft prospects aren't nearly as high as he thinks. The HB made the right decision to seek a transfer and I wasn't going to stand in his way.

Kodos · 05-07-2012, 11:21 AM

I'll advance us to the next stage tonight.

Kodos · 05-07-2012, 08:52 PM

I keep getting a transfer failed message after I exit out of the Players Leaving section. It did this the other night too. We could have a problem.

Kodos · 05-07-2012, 09:24 PM

Screw it. I just let them leave. I was able to get it to save once, and got my the best player to stay. Still kinda sucks though. Now extremely thin at OT.

Kodos · 05-07-2012, 09:27 PM

Okay, we have moved on to Transfer Requests. Please try to get to yours quickly.

cartman · 05-08-2012, 07:32 AM

That was easy. Didn't have anyone interested in transferring to Rice.

MacroGuru · 05-08-2012, 08:20 AM

I will finish it tonight.

chesapeake · 05-08-2012, 08:44 AM

I'm working 16-18 hour days until Thursday evening. Is there any way to check to see if I have anyone that wants in? If not, you can skip me.

Kodos · 05-08-2012, 11:27 AM

No way to check, unfortunately.

gstelmack · 05-09-2012, 08:37 AM

No one wanted to come play for us either.

MacroGuru · 05-10-2012, 06:43 AM

Yeah, no one wanted to come play at UB...go figure...I am what 2-1000000000...

I should have 2 great RBs this next season with a decent passing game...my defense will be my question mark, but I have a 4* OLB and talent in the secondary to at least pull out a .500+ season.

We can wait until Friday night if that helps.

chesapeake · 05-10-2012, 09:27 AM

Back-to-back nights of getting home after 1 AM, only to have one of my kids wake me up before 5:30. Lucky for them that they're still cute. Even at 5:30.

I will get it done tonight. Thanks for being patient.

Kodos · 05-10-2012, 10:37 AM

No problem. Real life is more important than this stuff.

chesapeake · 05-11-2012, 08:52 AM

There was nothing to do. Apparently all the nasty things you people have been saying about my program discouraged anyone from wanting to come.

Kodos · 05-11-2012, 05:25 PM

Cool. I will move us forward tonight after the kids are in bed.

Kodos · 05-12-2012, 07:57 AM

We're back to recruiting. Come to Indiana!

chesapeake · 05-14-2012, 09:30 AM

The disc drive on my Xbox is on its last legs. I can still coax it into playing NCAA after 2 or 3 tries, but even new dvds don't run. I'll see if I can get through week 2 of recruiting, but then I will have to box it up and send it in to get fixed.

If only they had fixed the website during the last several months. Then I wouldn't even miss a beat.

gstelmack · 05-14-2012, 09:57 AM

You can try changing the website to the old version. Check the upper-left.

Eaglesfan27 · 05-14-2012, 10:25 AM

We are all set to advance.

Kodos · 05-14-2012, 11:40 AM

Will move us ahead tonight.

I'll give that a try. The old website was a little unreliable, but still had an 85-90% success rate, which I think is probably good enough.

Kodos · 05-14-2012, 08:47 PM

It'd be great if we could beat the deadline again though....

gstelmack · 05-15-2012, 05:04 PM

Stupid Penn State signed TWO 4-* QBs, including one I was targeting (and was trailing but close on). Someone will be transferring soon...

chesapeake · 05-16-2012, 11:28 AM

The old website worked well enough, so I am done with this week. Now all I need is some players with a little interest in coming to Durham.

Eaglesfan27 · 05-16-2012, 11:55 AM

Not sure if I set to advance, but I am done recruiting for week two.

Kodos · 05-16-2012, 12:12 PM

Looks like we have 3 guys left who need to recruit.

MacroGuru · 05-16-2012, 12:36 PM

I will be recruiting tonight when I get home from a dinner date with the GF.

MacroGuru · 05-17-2012, 06:39 AM

Pleasant Surprise on getting two kickers and a 3 star SS and OLB...my recruiting class is starting to gel and become a decent class....Not going to complain.

Kodos · 05-18-2012, 07:28 AM

Looks like we are ready to advance. I'll do it tonight.

Kodos · 05-18-2012, 09:34 PM

On to Week 3 of recruiting.

MacroGuru · 05-19-2012, 09:25 AM

Picked up another 3 star linebacker...that puts me in over two seasons with 3 3 star OLB's and 1 4 star OLB. I hope to move one of them to the inside and see where that gets me.

I also picked up a commit from a 1* G

gstelmack · 05-19-2012, 09:43 AM

Trying desperately to get some 4- and 5-* talent on board to compete with the big boys, but falling JUST short. You'd think a BCS bowl win, a regular bowl win, and 2 losses in 2 seasons would have my coach prestige above a "D", plus my TV exposure above a "D+", but alas...

Kodos · 05-22-2012, 08:47 AM

Oops. Forgot to move us ahead last night. Will do so tonight.

Kodos · 05-22-2012, 10:44 PM

Getting toward the end of recruiting.

MacroGuru · 05-24-2012, 07:35 AM

1* guard signed with us and we are in the running for some 2* and 3* players...hoping to knock those down this week. If not week 5 will be feast or famine.

Kodos · 05-25-2012, 12:04 PM

Reminder: Recruiting deadline for Week 4 is 11 pm EST tonight.

Kodos · 05-25-2012, 11:25 PM

On to the final week of recruiting.

Kodos · 05-25-2012, 11:30 PM

Alright! Got a 4-star QB to commit! Maybe our passing game can improve a bit.

MacroGuru · 05-26-2012, 09:01 PM

a 2 star WR and a 3 star OLB commit, looks like I definitely need to move one of my talents to MLB.

I have the chance at picking up some TE talent as well.

gstelmack · 05-27-2012, 09:26 AM

No commits still, have some hope for a handful of 4-* and 5-* players.

Kodos · 05-28-2012, 07:45 PM

Reminder: Deadline is in a couple hours.

Kodos · 05-28-2012, 11:24 PM

We're on to position changes.
