The Recruit that Got Away

[The_Wise_One]

I control the safety on defense and the #1 FS named Rodney King (6'5'' 215) in my Mizzou dynasty had 95 speed with mid-80's in both coverage and tackling attributes. Ended up loosing him to Notre Dame where he was a two time All-American. I remember that he was most concerned about playing time so what does ND do? Redshirt him of course . Kinda hoped he would transfer but wasn't lucky enough. He was a 99 OVR as a RS Sophomore and didn't leave early. He was great for the Irish, but he would've been a legend in the black and gold!

I finally got to draft him in Madden after 5 long seasons. Won DROY of course.

I took th HC job st Ball St in the offseason, so I was basically going into the offseason recruiting blind. So I found that thy already had a 4 star duel threat QB targeted and was about 500 or so points ahead of the next team. So I put a sh*t load of points on him. When I go to signing day, I found out he signed with Akron. AKRON!! AKRON!!! I had qb troubles through the whole season, so i was looking to jump ship during the offseason. somehow i got the Texas OC job. if i wouldve got the qb i probably would have stayed at Ball St. I thought the CPU was working on rebuilding Akron cause the signed 2 4* recruits and they hired Charlie Weis, but they went 1-11 and they fired Weis after one season.

So i was in my 3rd year as OC for Indiana, coach mode dynasty, i run the option/flex offense and needed a QB seriously. I went after an Ath, Trey Williams, 6'3 215lbs and was a 4* 74ovr. I scouted him and he was a gem and went to 79ovr with 90spd 87thp 80tha, he could of played QB, HB, WR. It was between Ohio State and myself most of the year and i scheduled a visit with him against OSU. I was leading in points at the time of the visit. It was a good game but we lost 34-30, after that visit to Indiana, the next week he commits to OSU!

This one really ticked me off, and personally I think it's a bug more than anything.

I'm building a new dynasty in NCAA 13 with a 1* cupcake TeamBuilder team. I really needed to sign two DT's in my first year (2012).

I managed to sign one. In the last week of recruiting (week 5 post-season recruiting), I had a single scholarship left to give, and three DT's on the board, any one of which I would have been happy to land.

I talked to the first, gave my best pitches, etc... hopefully he will sign.

I talked to the second, gave my best, etc... hopefully he will sign.

I talked to the third - BAM - instacommit! Awesome! I am set, had a PERFECT recruiting year!

Went ahead and removed the other two from the board, looked over my 25 hard-committed recruits, smiled, clicked "Advance..."

Signing day - my insta-commit guy is now hard-signed to TCU. What the heck?!? I was 1st on his list and they were 2nd, and they were at like -1020 behind me! ... now they are "Most", I'm last on his list at like 2000, and apparently his "insta-commit" never happened.

That has GOT to be a bug... so ticked off right now.

NCAA 07 with my created Massachusetts State Mountaineers.

Looking for a new quarterback, figuring whoever committed would win the job.

In-season recruiting, the #1 QB in the country, Darrin Tepper, shows some interest, so I put him on the board. I take the lead on him mid-season, and after a loss or two toward the end of the season, Oklahoma snatches him up.

4 seasons later, Tepper wins the Heisman and is an All-American.

[miami 305 136]

started at south alabama eventually ended up at miami then im recruiting a FS names Jake Bush i really needed a safety so i recruit him but alabama ends up with him then 3 years later as a junior Miami V Alabama in the Rose Bowl were down 17-10 with 1 min remaining we are driving bang pick 6 jake bush biggest dagger ever

6'1 218 lb ATH - Eric Stratton

The dude has 95 speed, 96 ACC, 92 ELU, 87 THP, 79 THA. He could have been a QB, HB, WR, or DB. Either way, I had a 600+ point lead on him heading into the offseason, and of course, freakin Oklahoma puts all their points on him and lands the guy...I'm making sure to schedule them next season.
