The second thing that sticks out ot me right away is that you have 5 schlorships open and thats is tough in any situation. If you didnt go after 2 kids right away that had you number 1 on their list, you are going to get killed with spreading your money out, and not keeping it focused on a certain number of recruits which again is why you loose recruits.
While I cant say for certain that is what you did, id put it at 99% because you went right down the line with these recruits, and every week you arent maxing and focusing all your money on a few kids the lower conferences are and you cant make up that time difference.
While you are right sometimes you just get hosed and you cant figure out why, this game is pretty darn close to being realistic.
The things that you say matter.
However there are a lot more that goes into this than that. Your head coach recruting rating, your coordinaor recruiting rating, being realistic on who you can get (even with a big ten school becuase a 76 prest is on the high middle side) how many guys you max, how many schlorships you have to hand out, are they going to get PT with the guys in front of them, where they have you on their list compared to other teams, literally the game is so deep you can keep going here with reasons.
My suggestion is to change how you recruit (ie, who you recruit, who you max, and who your fallbacks are) because once you do get the hang of it, the game becomes really fun.

My recruiting ratings and my coordinators ratings were higher than every school's that I lost a player to except in the cases where I said it didn't bother me.
How in the world does anyone start at the top of a player's list? I'm NEVER #1 on a player's list right from the start and players can have interest ranked high or very high and I'm not even in their top 5.
