This process is working for me right now. I am Purdue, i have 2 commits already. I have 10 more that I am either 1 or 2 on their list, another that i am 3rd. And then 2 reaches.....that i am hoping for luck. All are 3* or 4* as Purdue (a 3* team).

If i loose any of these or fall too far behind, then i cut them loose and go after another (starting from scratch searching). Because if you keep 5 guys that you put no time to, they may (highly likely) loose interest in you, and there could be someone else that hasn't gotten the love that they want from the big boys and has higher interest in you. So i wait and if i loose a few i start my search all over again.

Additionally, I will be able to use the offseason get more recruits as-well.

Re: Recruiting Strategy Guide

Any advice on how to snag players who have soft committed to another school? Playing as CU (3*) I'm having a hard time convincing them to sign with me.

You just have to outpoint them and hope your recruit doesn't want to commit before you get the chance. Assuming you're at -1, just keep pumping minutes into them. Use the Recruiting Reports option to see how many minutes the soft-committed school is using, and use more than them. If they're also using 60, see how your school's pitch rating compare. If you're behind on most of them, it might be hard to pass them up without some lucky random rolls or an Advisor Bonus.

I've only done it a couple times, but it can be done.

Re: Recruiting Strategy Guide

The recruiting reports option seems to be greyed out. So how do you access it?
