Players Leaving
Looking at the list of departing players can always be a bit nerve-racking. I already know the seniors I'm losing, but I have to worry that one of my underclassman stars will try and go pro early. And that's the case as right tackle Matt Murdock and All Conference USA halfback Victor Von Doom are heading off for the pros. However, any departing athlete can potentially be convinced to stay. This is a gamble, as you'll need to spend points from the first week of recruiting in your attempt.
Fortunately, there's a meter indicating a player's interest in staying in school. If a player is leaning considerably towards heading pro, save the points. I made the mistake of spending a chunk on trying to convince Von Doom to stay put. It didn't work. But, I will be able to import him into my first Madden draft. Von Doom to the Niners? Yes, indeed.
With seniors and the two players leaving school early, I'm down 16 players. The worst part is, most of my seniors were starters, and there are a lot of holes to fill at wide receiver and in the secondary. Goodbye Clark Kent, so long Johnny Storm, adios J. Jonah Jameson. It could be a tough year for TCU.
