I have my recruit board full. How many of these guys a year should I be offering scholarships to? It just seems like a jumbled mess to me. Can anyone elaborate on exactly what the best method of getting people into your school is, and how to jumble all of this around? Thanks.

Yeah, not real sure what I am doing either.

Do I try to unlock everything on each recruit, when should I offer? I am just winging it pretty much and hope I get lucky.

I just throw out all 25 offers quick. I don't think it can hurt. If by the middle of the season if I'm not climbing their charts I cut them loose and look for new guys.

Doesn't hurt I'm ND though. This advice might be horrible.

I just watched the tutorial on it. He said that they automatically as time goes on narrow their list of schools down to 3. You then do more pitches and maybe invite them to the game and they should automatically sign with you. Just get on their good side it says, they will automatically sign if and when the time is right.

To answer your original question, the roster limit is 70, so mathematically you should generally have 17 or 18 prospects coming every season. But practically, you should get about the same number as players that you lost to graduation/transferring/NFL the year before.

Is this an in-game tutorial, or something on the web?

In theory, you should only OFFER as many scholarships as you will have open from graduations and going pro.

But nothing is stopping you from filling up your board with 35 prospects.....
