A couple of quick questions about recruiting.

[blurredvision]

I'm in my first offseason, and I've never been this involved in recruiting, so I'm kind of new at it even though I've played NCAA for years. A couple of quick questions if someone doesn't mind to answer them.

1. I have 25 scholarships......do you get 25 every year?
2. Is it wise to try and use all 25 scholarships every year even if it means signing crappier players and signing for positions that you don't need?
3. Is there a roster cap, and if so, what is it?

1. Yes.
2. It might be useful to sign a couple extra players for positions that aren't urgent, but you have to watch out and make sure that it doesn't interfere with any promises you've made in past seasons.
3. 70

2) You could always sign 25 guys each year if you wanted. Since you only have 70 roster slots this would mean that you're always signing more than you can keep and then cutting the ones that aren't good enough. This would give you the stronger team since there are times when that 3* guy that you signed after you already had 70 guys is actually better than that 4* guy you signed during the season.

I would advise against this, however, especially if you're using a good team. Recruiting is very, very easy in this game and you're going to end up with ridiculous teams if you do this. I use a house rule to only sign enough guys to get to maybe 73 or 74 so I can't cut that many. I also use a house rule to not allow myself to talk anyone into staying that wants to leave just so that my team isn't completely stacked all the time.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Sorry I have a question within the question. Does cutting Freshmen or any player lower your integrity? And is the only way to higher your integrity by handing out promises? Because I was in year 6 of my PITT dynasty and still didnt have much integrity. But the thing is I almost never make promises other than no red shirt first year.

I believe that the only thing that affects your integrity is promises. To raise mine, I make as many promises as I can keep to everyone that I recruit in the offseason. Even if I'm #1 on their list with noone else contending, I'll still promise him just so I can build my integrity. I'll do the no redshirt if I can and I always give the national TV exposure (I'm Michigan) when it's available. I also do the winning record vs. rivals every year since 2 of my 4 rivals are Minnesota and MSU.
