Recruits

[DC Admin]

I posted this on the Site Feedback forum, but thought I'd mention it here as well. I'll be looking at adding recruits to the b-ball dynasties soon after I get dynasty records implemented. I totally forgot that I had not added this feature until a member reminded me the other day. So look for recruits in the future. If anyone has Madness or ESPN, and knows what info they store on recruits (personal data and ratings), post it in this thread. I was planning on loading both games up myself, but it would save me time if someone else knows it off the top of their head.

I don't know about Madness, but here's some of the stuff from ESPN that I can remember:

City
Star rating out of 5
Mr. Basketball for their state
ESPN All-Star
Letter Grades for:
Offense
Shooting
Rebounding
Hustle
Leaping
Quickness
Intelligence
Potential

I think I might be missing a couple of the letter grades that they keep track of, I'm not sure though.

If you look at the recruitng part of my site here:

dynastycentral.com/dynasty/display_news.asp?ID=40126&dynasty_id=8798&year=2006

I pretty much made the replica of the recruiting chart they give you, but I did not add the Mr. Basketball for their state or EA Sport All American.

Stewaat, thanks that looks great. I'm assuming the quotes are not on the game, but you're doing?

I'll check Madness tonight, and try to come up with some common list to go with for recruiting info, so you guys can start posting recruits.

You are correct, those are my quotes...lol.

But yeah, looking at what March Madness does too would be a good idea, but I do believe that the majority of the people creating NCAAB sites are using ESPN. They can speak up if they have a difference of opinion.

***And in my previous message, I meant to say ESPN All-American. I'm so used to playing EA games.

No problem. I took a look at what Madness lists for recruits, and it's actually a lot less than ESPN. So I'll probably just use the ESPN one as a template, and those that use Madness can just leave the ratings it doesn't use blank.
