    Something very strange (but awesome) happened in the offseason for me....

    So i started a dynasty playing as DC for Miami of Ohio.
    Had a pretty good season going 10-3 with a victory in the Humanitarian Bowl.

    I had got some pretty decent recruits during the season, so despite a couple head coaching offers, i decided to stick around, see what kind of recruits i had landed and bump up my prestige to see if i could get better offersin the future.
    Im glad i did.
    It was late, i was tired and didnt really feel like doing the off season recruiting, so i simmed it and walked away for a little bit.
    When i came back there were 2 recruits at the end of week 5 who had committed, a 2* wr and a 5* ATHLETE!
    I was like uh.....wth. I mean i have no problem with it. I looked at the school breakdown for the player and despite us NOT OFFERING a scholarship he chose to play for a team that didnt even win the MAC over teams like LSU AUBURN MICHIGAN tOSU.

    Dont get me wrong, im fine with his decision as he is my starting SS in year 2. Im just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else? Or any other wierd recruiting scenarios.

      I think someone needs to take a look at Miami of Ohio's book keeping. (In fact, both Miamis while were at at... There up to something down in Florida) I bet we will see a Journal Entry for a "University Vehicle" .... I bet the SS is driving around campus with a 100,000 Cadillac as we speak...

          You aren't Jim Tressell are you?
          When rookie Randall Cobb was told by this U.S. Marine that he was a big fan of the wide receiver, Cobb said, “I think I’m a bigger fan of yours.”

                  Was he from OH? This is actually encouraging!!! This means all the 5* don't pile on at about 8-9 schools.

                          just a question, but you're sure you had recruiting help on? I always turn that off and then if I happen to do what you did I won't get many recruits either. just a thought congrats on the 5*

                                  LOL. Jim Tressel doesn't remember paying players either. Just like the OP said. I don't know why the guy wants to come here, but I'll happily take him.

                                      It is encouraging to see that as it actually happens IRL more than most people would think. USF has been pretty successful in landing some recruits over UF, FSU and Miami the last couple of years (i.e. Ryne Giddins & Elkino Watson) that were local, or in-state, products.

                                      In fact, when Giddins was asked why he chose USF over the others, his response was: "Why not USF?" Showing that the big schools are not entitled to every recruit and some of them want to help build a legacy rather than latch on to one.

                                          In one season I needed two TE's and was able to sign two of them, but then at the end of the off-season recruiting, two more TE's, both 3 stars, chose to walk on. One was better then all the other TE's I had, and became an immediate starter.

                                                      No offense but, I have no idea why anyone would choose USF over any other school in Florida. USF is Half University/Half Community College. Compared too FSU and Miami, the guy must of been just plain stupid. The only reason why he would do that is for playing time probably.

                                                          I bet this happened because a few of the teams were at position maxes. Never seen it in any other year.
