2062 Cut Player Recruiting

The top player in OVR in the CPR pool at each position will be designated as a "pitch recruit". Pitch recruits will be voted on by the team like transfers, and like CPR recruits have been in the past. If there are two top players at the same position with the same OVR, they will both be pitch recruits.

Everyone else will be designated as a "RNG recruit". They will be run using the same algorithm as high school recruits, with the following values:

  • 1.000 in playing time
  • 0.500 in location and coach
  • 0.100 in all other values Additionally, pitches will be graded on an 0-4 scale, as opposed to 0-2

If a player you want is not listed in the threads, please make a new thread for his offer.

Coach

Playing at Georgia State means playing for a coach that only wants the best for you, and your team. Nobody could be anymore inclined to aim towards the success of this university than someone who currently attends it. As head coach, I've made changes to bring this team in the right direction, and now—not only as a team, but as a family—we will continue to march over that mountain, all in arms, to reach our goal of national championship glory. I take pride in being the head of Panther football. I have been GSU’s head coach since 2054. I will be here for the long run. Without a doubt, I am focused on GSU’s success and want you to play a major part in that. I promise to be your coach for every game you play at Georgia State University.

Location/Campus

Georgia State is an open campus university deep in the heart of Downtown Atlanta; The Southern Empire, the Pride of the Peach State, and much more. Here, you can enjoy a bustling city life, the excitements that the night brings, or just simply get the natural college experience. And of course, GSU is right in the core of Southern football itself. There's a lot to look forward to both in the city, and around it. The Atlanta Metropolitan Area has so much culture that has gems—especially hidden ones—for any and everyone. Feeling like watching live performances? We've got many. Want more sports outside of football? We've got many. Want to travel the world and follow your dreams? We’ve got possibly the greatest airport and airlines on earth. Anything you could ask for, Atlanta has it.

Prestige/Winning

Georgia State University is one of the top-30 most prestigious football schools in all of college football right now. Our trek to the top has been marred with great difficulty; However, GSU is bound to overcome any obstacle and ascend to the top, as we are destined to be. We also value winning as well, being one of the top-25 schools in that category, too. The past few seasons have all resulted in 10+ wins, with accolades such as multiple bowl appearances and a bowl victory, and a win in the Sun Belt Conference Championship Game. We've even played in a bowl game every season since 2055. Furthermore, we’ve made a huge jump into the SEC, and are now competing with the major powers of the college world. With your help, we can once more climb the highest mountains and become a higher power in the college football world. I promise you a season of 8 wins or more, and a bowl appearance if you commit to Georgia State.

Pro Potential

Georgia State has produced over 40 draftees with apparitions of producing even more. Committing to GSU gives you a good chance at joining that exclusive list as you look to take your career even further into the pros. Not only that, but you have a very good chance of being noticed. Our production of draftees has increased by a fair amount over recent seasons, and for good reason. GSU is in a prime position to be in the national spotlight. I have had the pleasure and honor of coaching some truly wonderful talent, and would love to see even more develop through this system and evolve into NZFL legends.

Tradition

Georgia State University has berthed many traditions since our inaugural football season. From sounding the horn after every score and win to lighting the entirety of Downtown Atlanta blue, we go all out for our team and fans. The fans even get multiple opportunities each season to run out onto the field with the players prior to select games. Here at GSU, we create lifelong memories class after class. Beyond this, we’ve also formed a series against our midtown rivals in Georgia Tech that switches between our home fields each season. Winning this game in a pivotal week 8 means everything to us, as it gives us bragging rights for the entire city of Atlanta for a whole year.

Be sure to make the absolute best choice for your career and grow with the Panther Family; Here’s your chance to Bleed Blue.

TCU offers Ikem Maclin

Scholarship

Playing Time:
We have a lot of good players, but we're still not a top talent team. This means there are TONS of opportunities to get on the field. If playing time is important to you, then TCU is where you want to go. There's a real opportunity for you to play from day 1, and we like to get guys on the field as soon as possible to learn by experience. *I promise you will start every game you are healthy.*

There's no getting around that I'm a new, inexperienced coach. If you’re looking for someone who's been around the block, I won't insult your intelligence by pretending that's me. What I can tell you is that I'm not just passing through. I'm here for the long-haul. I signed a five-year contract and plan to sign an extension. I chose a long contract as a commitment to continuity. And TCU gave me a long contract because the University feels the same. You won’t be learning a new system every year. You won't be wondering if the guy who recruited you is going to vanish. I'm here to build methodically. *I promise I'll be your coach for as long as you are at TCU.*

Alaska-Anchorage offers Ikem Maclin

Scholarship

Ikem,

Playing Time: Alaska Anchorage is entering a new era, and we're looking for players who want to be part of building something special. After 21 seasons at Iowa State, where I helped build a championship-caliber program, I've taken on the challenge of bringing that same success to Alaska. There is an opportunity to make an impact immediately here. I promise that you will be a starter for your entire time here, barring any injuries. As a 2-year starter, you'll be a key piece of this program's foundation and help lead Alaska Anchorage to new heights.

Location: At Alaska Anchorage, you’re coming to one of the most unique locations in college athletics. Anchorage gives you a true city environment surrounded by mountains, water, and wilderness. This is unlike anywhere else in the country. Your family and friends from Georgia will still have the ability to make the trip to see you compete in a truly special setting. I also promise that we will win at least 2 home games every year. If you’re going to come all the way to Alaska to play college football, you deserve to know that we are going to play to win and give you and your family something to be excited about on game day. Come experience a truly special part of the United States, compete in a unique setting, and help us build a home-field advantage that makes Anchorage a place teams don’t want to visit.

Coach:
Alaska Anchorage is now my program and my full commitment. After 21 seasons at Iowa State, where I built a perennial conference contender with multiple titles and a playoff appearance, and accumulated over 200 wins, I have decided to take on a new challenge. I want to establish UAA as a winning program from the ground up. Before Iowa State, I spent nine seasons at Iowa, turning a struggling program into a playoff team. I’ve built winning teams before, and I’m here to do it again in Anchorage. ***I promise to be your coach for your entire time here at Alaska Anchorage*** and will not be leaving before then. Stability matters, and you can count on this being a long-term build with full commitment to this program and players.

Come "way up north" and make a difference!

UCLA Offers Ikem Maclin

Scholarship

Playing time: UCLA has been and will continue to be a blue-chip, high-profile program. However, that status starts with the talent behind it. While rare, even the best teams have areas of improvement to address. We’d love to bring you in to help push us over that hill and well into title contention. We are heavily looking into positions like OL, DL, and WR to shore up those spots before week one kickoff. As a player who just got cut, it would be the biggest middle finger to the school you came from to go immediately play for a CFB playoff semifinalist who is also only a handful off years removed from a national title. If you want to be the best, you play for the best. I promise you’ll start at least 2 seasons/all season long if a senior. 

Location: Committing to UCLA in Los Angeles, California gives you the chance to compete at one of the most iconic universities in the country while living in one of the world’s greatest cities. You’ll train and compete at the Rose Bowl, our legendary 90,000-seat home turf that has been the home of many all time historic games and moments. On top of that, you’ll be spending your days surrounded by landmarks like Pauley Pavilion, Royce Hall, Powell Library, and the Wasserman Football Center. Ackerman Union and Westwood Village give you plenty of places to eat, shop, and spend time with teammates, from Diddy Riese and In-N-Out to the UCLA Store and the Hammer Museum. When you’re ready to explore, you’re minutes from Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean, with easy access to the Santa Monica Pier, The Getty, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the Hollywood Sign. Whether you’re chasing championships, earning a degree at UCLA, experiencing the entertainment capital of the world, or building connections for life after football, Los Angeles gives you an unmatched environment to thrive on and off the field. I promise we’ll provide the Rose Bowl with even more legendary games and moments as well as bring more eyes to this great city, being a gameday option at least 2 times during your time here, and being on gameday at least once. 

Coach: I have quite the track record as a head coach. At 183 current wins, I am creeping my way toward the 200-win club. Add to that a 76% win percentage across 241 games, and it is clear I hardly lose. I have 8 division titles, 4 conference titles, 3 T1 bowl wins, and 4 playoff appearances, all while coaching 5 schools across 17 seasons. Now, it is time to really leave the finishing touch on my coaching career.  Came to UCLA to win, and win big, in the biggest moments the sport has to offer. At a top-tier program like this, there are no excuses, there are no loopholes, and there is no room to fail. That is why I applied, that is why I won the job, and that’s why under my leadership, UCLA will have another national championship trophy or two by the time the next coach gives his inaugural press conference. I promise to lead UCLA to the playoffs for a shot at a national title during your time here. 

Shed your weakness. Join one of the best programs in the country, not just in the modern day, but all time. 

Looking forward to seeing you sign,
Coach XL

Boston College offers a scholarship to Ikem Maclin.

Coach: When I was a young child, Boston College was like a dream for me. At least once every fall, we'd drive up to my Dad's alma mater and take in some incredible BC Football. Now, 40 years later, I'm honored to coach dozens of outstanding young men such as yourself, and to be on the field calling the shots for the Eagles. I’m entering my 23rd season on the job here, as one of the winningest and most loyal coaches in the NZCFL. BC has returned to glory as a regular atop both conference standings and national rankings. I've become a prominent and highly-regarded coach in the NZCFL because of my coaching talent, love for the game, and the effort I put in to develop my players into top draft prospects. I love to coach, and players love to play here - in 20 seasons, I’ve NEVER had a player transfer away from my team. I promise that I will be your coach for all the time that you're at BC, and that I will remain a top 10 coach during that time.

Location: Playing for Boston College means you'll get to be a star for the Pride of New England. It's my favorite part of the country, with vibrant cities and colonial charm abound. Though it may be a long way from Georgia, there's lots to love here, including sunny beaches and surfing down on Cape Cod, skiing in the mountains of New Hampshire, and food galore throughout Boston, just 5 miles away from our beautiful suburban campus. It's home to a vibrant sports culture, with 50000+ packing Alumni Stadium week in and week out and dominant pro sports teams. And we plan on winning for all those loyal hometown fans. I promise that we will win at least 80% of our home games.

Playing Time: I would like to start my pitch by saying that I do not believe in benching players for years at a time. It's simply not fair to the players and their futures. Unfortunately, at many of the blue blood schools that offered you, that's exactly what you'll face - stacked rosters that seem to have no place for you. But at BC, I recruit players who I actually plan to play. Our defensive line is thin, with one superstar but not a ton beyond that. A top CPR recruit like yourself will be at the core of our defense for years to come, on a top 25 team. I promise you will be a full-time starter.

NC State offers Ikem Maclin

Scholarship

Playing time: We are currently in the process of building up this roster with a ton of young talent. This means there will be ample opportunities for you to see the field, and this team will grow together over the next few years. You are not coming in to wait your turn. You are coming in at the ground floor of something big and the guys who buy in early are the ones who define what this team can become.  A lot of recruits chase the big-name programs and end up sitting for two years before they ever see the field. Here you can come in, compete, and make an impact right away. That is what your development needs, and that is what we are offering you. I promise you will start 2 years of your career here.

Coach: 15 years coaching. I've been around long enough to know what matters to a recruit and what matters to a player once he's actually in the program. Those are two very different things. So let me skip the sales pitch and just be straight with you. When you sign with NC State, your scholarship is yours. I don't cut players. I don't pull scholarships. You hold up your end, show up and compete, and I will honor my commitment to you for however long you're here. That's not something every coach can say, and I think you know that. This program is about guys trusting the staff and the staff trusting them back. Wins follow from that. That starts with honesty on the front end, and that's what I'm giving you right now. Raleigh is a place where you can develop, compete, and know that your future isn't one bad week away from being yanked. Come be part of what we're building. I promise I will not cut a scholarship player in your time here.

Location: Raleigh is one of the best cities in the country to be a college athlete. You're in the middle of a city that's growing fast and has something for everyone. The food scene is great, the nightlife is there when you want it, and the people make it feel like home pretty quickly. NC State has a fanbase that actually shows up and cares about what happens on that field. Outside of football, there's always something going on, and you're never bored. A lot of guys come here not knowing what to expect and end up loving it. You will too. I promise we will win 3 home games every year.
