Best Recruit(s) You've Gotten so Far

[aggieranger12]

I have a dynasty with A&M and I'm having trouble getting players to stay interested in me, I really can't figure out this years recruiting? Can anyone give me some pointers on how to spread out the points and stuff?

I have yet to figure this out, as well. I simmed a few seasons and I tried spreading out my points to like 15-18 guys and had a recruiting class of 5. Another season, I focused the max points on a limited number of guys and ended up with like 13. Until I get the insta-commit skill, I don't see myself being able to land more than 15. I like the challenge of recruiting, but I think it's a little too hard at the moment.

yeah I think its kind of awesome. personally, how I look at it is I really need about 60 players on my roster. Sixty CORE guys. the remaining 10 are often lower rated players to satisfy pipeline requirements.

if you plan to redshirt a guy, that's 5 years. 15 over that span =65 players, I figure I can get the roster I want anyway

they do need to make it a little bit easier in certain aspects, but I actually like it, I think its a lot like last year just simplified.

so far I'm in my first dynasty year so my opinion may very well change if I am unable to land recruits I appear to have in the bag.

It seems that CPU teams take their ten top recruits and apply 500 points to each of them each week. So, if you're spreading yours out around 15-18 guys, you won't land any of the ones the CPU wants.

I max out my top ten recruits at the start of the season and if I get a sufficient lead over other teams on one of them, I'll redistribute some of their points to somebody else. This strategy has me ranked 5th nationally in recruiting in my first year of dynasty (mid-season). I ended up signing 5 or 6 guys after they visited a game where I upset #9 Michigan 27-22.

Are the recruits automatically generated? I had a amazing qb. Now a few year later I am close to signing a very similar qb. 2 inches shorter but same last name, same face, and similar if not the same ratings.

i have a question about recruiting. i started a dynasty just to mess around until the rosters come out and i picked georgia state(lowest rated team on the game). i have a tonnnn of 3 star players interested in me right from the start. im talking like probably 30 or so 3 star players. is this normal? will those 3 star players actually sign with a team like georgia state or should i just go for mostly 2 star players so i dont end up with a recruiting class of like 5 players?

i just strikes me as odd that so many 3 star players would be interested. in past ncaa's if you took the lowest rated 1 star team, you'd be lucky to have one 3 star player interested in you.
