Toughest position for you to recruit

I too run spread but one year I ran into a MONSTER FB that loved me. He ended up coming in with A- speed, so I kept my spread but installed some flexbone option and two back pistol just to get him some carries.

Outside of that one FB, I can't recruit FB for anything. I don't really ever use one, so it isn't too big of a deal. I just wish the guys I convert to play FB when I need it develop better blocking skills.

OL is a position I usually just recruit for depth, I hit 2 and 3* OL hard and develop them. I almost never grab impact OL, no matter how good my team is.

DE is another tough one for me. Not because there is a shortage of candidates, but because almost all of the DE's generated are C speed or worse and just aren't good. Most of the time my DE's are OLB's with good block shred and power move ratings.

For me it is recruiting the right type of players for the 3-4. Big DE's are hard to come by and moving a DT to end always results in ratings hit. At least NCAA 12 allowed the user to edit weight and ratings to prevent this. When I still played NCAA 12 I made use of the ability to edit. I end up moving MLB's, whom all seem to weigh in the 240's to 250's to OLB. I move SS to MLB. I move FS to SS. I recruit taller CB's and move them to FS. It has been some time since I played 12 but this seemed to work for me.

On offense I don't even try to recruit centers. I just move a sorter guard over since ever lineman can snap the ball perfect every time in the NCAA series. I have been recruiting TE's and moving them to FB for years now.

For Center I usually move a 4 star Guard over as a freshmen, they usually boost 6 or 7 points overall actually.

I recruited a 1 star FB once because he was my only viable option. That being said, he is now a senior and a 91 overall. Love that man!

FBs used to be tough but seemed to turn in my favor. I almost never recruit a straight C as -- except for the top 1 or 2 -- the top 10 Gs generally grade out higher for the attributes desired.

I always have problems bringing in quality CBs. Maybe once in every recruiting cycle will I be able to pull in more than 1 CB with solid MAN/PRESS ratings. At least once per cycle I'll have to run through a season when I can't press or bump b/c of low PRS ratings across my CB depth chart.
