Usually the 4 recruits I want the most are 5* and in step 3 it says
4* above.
Also when you get a commit, you add another player with zero offers to the board
I've use this startegy with every team I've ever used which so far is: Nebraska, Texas, Iowa State, and Marshall... at Marshall and Iowa State I will usually bring in 3-5
5*s and several 3* and 4*
