Started for 3 years and led me to 3 MAC titles. Helped that I had gotten 2 transfers. One a RB from Mich. St. named David Spears and the other a WR named James Jackson from Ohio St. who nearly won the heisman for me one year. Ultimately got invited into the Big Ten before I quit. Was a really fun dynasty.

Woah, James Jackson just transferred from Ohio State and, last I heard, was considering Eastern Michigan. Crazee!

In my UVA dynasty, I just recruited a guy who really seemed like an odd-ball, but I wanted to beat out Bama for a 5 star guy and landed him.

He turned out to be a fullback and is a monster. Love using him in short yardage situations and with a good throw out in the flats.

Three come to mind:

Ben Gates. I was playing with ECU of all people, and he was my first 4* recruit with them (I think it was '10 though...) and he just tore people up in the C-USA. I think he came in at 86 OVR as a freshman, mid- 80's speed, acc and blockshedding= animal.

When I was playing with Penn State I recruited a 5* FB...yes...a 5* FULLBACK. And as you know, you don't realize how much a FB can dominate until you get a dominating FB-- he was a stone PIMP. Came in at 85 OVR with high 80's sp and acc...so sick, had at least 4 'cakes a game.

The last one was in '11-- James DeAngelis. He was an 4* ATH that I recruited with Wyoming-- but I put him at LB with his 93 SP 92 AGI and 94 ACC; 6'3" 240 lbs. Man-Beast...no one could block him and he picked off everything...especially since I was playing with him. I've never dominated quite like I did with him at the helm. In fact I miss him...

Mine was back in NCAA 09. I was Miami, trying to build them back up to the Canes of the 80's. I signed 2 QB's about 6 years in, one was a 4* dual threat and the other was a 3* balanced. The 4* was a 83ovl with 85spd and the 3* was 78ovr with 97acc and 81spd. I red shirted both since I had 2 Sr's and a RsJr. The next season I used the first game as a battle to win the starting job. I started the 4* who played like crap. He was now a 85ovr but threw pick after pick. I pulled him after 3 straight picks. In comes the 3* who I didn't have much hope for and the 3rd QB was my now RsSr who I had zero plans to play. The 3* was a beast. He ended up winning the job and started for 4 years.

He won a heisman, 2 NC's, Davey O'Brien, Maxwell, set records for school in passing yards, passing TD's, and NCAA record in passing TD's and missed the passing yard record by less then 100yds. He ended up as the 5th pick in the draft when exported to Madden.

The 4* guy ended up transferring after his RsSo year to FIU where he played 1 year. In the 3rd game of the season I played them and knocked him out for the year. He ended up in the Madden draft class. He was a 4th round pick.

I redshirted him because I had a senior QB that I wanted to keep so he could finish his career. His sophomore year he ran for 1100 yards, and threw for over 5500 with 70 combined TDs. I ran the score up on every team I played. There was no mercy. I beat #15 ranked OK State by 84 points at their place during that season. It also really helped that my top 4 receivers all had ratings north of 90.

wow, that would never be fun for me. To each his own....

Don't remember his name but I landed a 4 star QB that ended up 99 overall after his sophomore season. He came in at like 81. His progression was insane.

That is still the only time I ever landed a recruit that was 99 by his junior season.

He was a Andrew Luck type QB. Good mobility and a cannon arm. Once a lifetime recruit for Michigan State (that was the team I was controlling).

Last year I had a nose tackle who could blow up the middle of any offensive line. Can't remember any specifics because it was at the end of my dynasty run, but I remember calling a lot of 3-3-5 and Quarter formations on defense simply because I knew that this guy could get to the QB in about 3-6 seconds and disrupt the running game.

Just a lot of fun to play with.

By the way JBrew-- I like the signature...
