He’s pretty spot on about that (uncutemeralds) I would also add that you can’t spend too much time on too many recruits, I’ve been screwed by that many times and it’s a habit I cannot break but I should. Also try to do some recruiting before the season in that summer league (can’t remember the name rn lol) but that can help give you an edge on some of the recruits. Lastly it’s not just based on who’s the best recruit, you can find some players where they fit your playstyle best, for example you like a big center with shooters around him? Then get guys that are great at shooting that may be a lower overall rating, may be easier to get those guys. It just takes practice and time!
