Recruiting Tips?

I'm starting to become a big believer in finding out the levels before getting too aggressive.

I have a dynasty with EMU and man is it tough. I also have a lot of holes to fill, but I am sticking to Michigan for finding recruits. I have had a couple battles with WMU and CMU. Something also I have found is looking for recruits that are interested in larger schools, but have not been contacted by them. An example of this is I found a 3*WR that no one had contacted, and was in Michigan. I called him spent an hour, offered him a scholarship, a couple promises and the next week I checked I was his number 1, and the week before he wasn't interested at all. I am following this to see if I am able to land him. If I do I think this is a great strategy.

What do you mean by their level?

Okay i just started my first dynasty after getting roster names with Miami. I chose the top players who were interested that fulfilled my needs at FB, SS, P. Those 4 four guys are my top 4 prospects. the next 6 guys are all the highest recruits who are #1 interested in my school. I spend 1 hr on these 10 guys and only offer instantly to the ones who im #1 with. In the first week i got two commits. Now i am starting the game for this week.

My question is this: Every week do i still need to talk to the players who have committed or can i replaced them with more interested players...will they back out of the their commit? They both are hard commits as well...thnx

in my dynasty wit LSU, in finished ranked 7th. which is ok. but the players were average. two 5*, four 4*s and fifteen 3*s. its hard. i started wrong also cause i filled my board up thinkin it was similar to last yrs so i ended up gettin alot of 3*
its hard. other school put in 60 minutes per week on most of their players so i gotta put in the same if i want that player

Aaah okay.


Once a player is a hard commitment you no longer have to spend time on him. If he's a soft commitment I still talk to him.

I wish they would incorporate a recruit changing his mind even with a hard commit on Signing Day. Of course this would be a small chance (ie .0005) but it does happen IRL. I read all over the net (Aggie and Sooner sites) how Corey "Mr. Aggie" Nelson was heading to A&M and on Signing Day he picked OU. Imagine the disgust if "you" saw one of your top recruits go to your rival or stay in their home state.
