Teams to start a recruiting/program building dynasty with???

[SincerelYourz]

i created a teambuilder team: South Alabama Jaguars...2 star team, with C overall rating.

SMU is always a good choice. FIU or FAU would also be a good choice since they are in florida.

i usually go with a team in texas, fla, or cali, for the recruiting.
this year it's SMU. in past years it was: UCF, north texas, FIU, rice, san diego st, tulane, ULM, nevada, etc. really liked rice and UCF out of those guys.

I just started one with Big Bad Baylor and their fearsome "Claw" touchdown animation lmao. 2-0 so far using SN AA Sliders. Next game at #6 TCU. *Gulp*

RG3 is reason enough to pick this team. Plus, their all white away unis are a thing of beauty. I also wanted to play in a big conference, without using custom conferences to switch stuff around unrealistically.

Yeah, they are apealing to me too... I'm going to start an new nasty tonight when I get home and they are on my short list.

The big 12 South is brutal if you are the worst team with games against Texas, OU and Tech throwing the ball all over the field. For the life of me I can't stop Air Raid or R&S in this game.

Not to mention the great Non confrence games you can play in that area. Like you said, at TCU or taking the trip over to LSU or down to Houston to play the Cougars. Go west and take on UTEP or Arizona State.

You could rig yourself a pretty nasty schedule with Baylor.

Every year I try to build up Rice University.
This year they have a stud RB with RS SO Sam McGuffie who transferred from Michigan. Phil Steele had him as the #7 RB in the nation coming out of high school and he even led the Wolverines in rushing his freshman year. He starts out in the low 80's but by his senior year develops into a 90-93 beast!
They also have a pretty good Alabama transfer at QB in Nick Fanuzzi (Phil Steele's #22 QB coming out of high school.)

Since they play in Texas, recruiting is much more fun.

I am now in year 5 of my Rice dynasty and after year 4, I accepted an invitation to the Big 12 (replacing Baylor who moved to the C-USA.)
I am now a 5* program and have put a few nice recruiting classes under my belt. Very fun school to build up.

How long does it take to build up to something of worth if I don't pick a school in one of the "power states"...anyone know?

Does your team get more stars after a year even if you only achieve 2 out of the 3 goals and have a very good season otherwise?
