recruiting tips from the producer..

Has anyone gone through enough seasons to see if you can keep a full compliment of scholarships awarded? This was a real killer last year...by the fourth year in a dynasty, I had walk-ons all over the place - regardless of success!

It really stinks trying to wait these pitches out though, because sometimes they'll eat up a bunch of clock and I can only get through my top 15 recruits or so. I think they need to give us more time each week, because with the current setup, it's almost impossible to give attention to 20 guys.

Yea I think they purposely only gave you 10hrs so you couldn't spending time effectively talking to every player on your board every week...I trying to my top 15 and then whatever time I have left over I spend on the rest depending on how much interest they have in me.

I'm in love with recruiting this year. Having the ability to sway guys makes it possible for the Utah States of the world to sign that 4* player when they're only a 1* team.

EA...you got something right.

pretty darn sure that having A scholarship offer in hand that it gives an interest increase each week even if not called/pitched.

I would like to see this confirmed. I just don't want to miss out on one of my top guys because I'm forced (at some point) to pay attention to the guys further down the board. I need some depth on my team eventually.

Not sure what gen you're playing, but on the 360, everyone is available from the start of the season. In previous years, only a handful of guys would be available for in-season recruiting. If a recruit doesn't sign in-season, they just carry over to the off-season process where you do in-home visits. As far as I know, there are no additional players that show up in the off season that weren't there during the season.
