Recruiting Strategy

[37]

I know this is a pretty vague question but how do u guys recruit? Like, how much time u spend on the fone with each recruit and what recruiting pitch works best? I'm just getting back in the groove with NCAA Football 11 and I wanna get thru a full season before 12 comes out

don't fill up your board and turn off the cpu helper that puts guys on it automatically, get like 15-25 guys that have your school in their top 5 or 8, put decent minutes into them

personally I offer a scholarship right away and set visits early (be sure to put your rivals in the early weeks on your schedule if possible, or top 20 teams) also remember that putting 40-60 minutes into 15 guys is better than 20-30 minutes in 25 guys

You won't get get all 35, just go for the ones you have a realistic shot at getting

Because you're going to be using up more minutes for all of those players.

It's simple math. If you're recruiting 35 guys (the whole board), using 600 minutes, you're only recruiting each guy less than 20 minutes per week. TDAWG89's strategy is pretty much the only way to go if you want to recruit consistently.
