Scholarship Offers and Bonus Points

I checked the depth chart, and they would be number 2 at their positions, and would start the following year, if they were to sign. And I think that is why I only lost 30-40 bonus points. I feel like in the past that I've lost a lot more upon offering. I'm going to really keep an eye on it in the forthcoming seasons.

It may also have something to do with your recruiting board, if applicable. I was recruiting several WRs because the roster had 8 WRs and 7 were Juniors or Senoirs with a walk-on level freshman. I was recruiting four WRs and hoping to land at least two. I offered the #2 WR on my board who would have started in his first or second year, depending on if I lost a Junior to the draft. After I offered, he locked me out because of a playing time deal breaker.

It definitely is something else other than, or along with, playing time, perhaps this. I actually just gained BP on a QB with a B- grade in playing time. I just added him, about midway through the season, and scouting revealed him to be 2 OVR points higher than the other 2 QBs I already had on my board.
