To elaborate on my recruiting guidelines:
1. Must recruit on need 1st. So if you need a FB, one must be at the top of your list.
2. By need, I only recruit players that have a top 10 interest. From there I have to recruit the highest rated players.
Can't recruit based on speed. So if you need a receiver and have 2 4*WR's that are B+ speed rated ahead of an A- speed WR, you have to recruit the B+ speed guys.
3. Once you have recruited on Need, you can fill out the rest of the the remaining allowed spots(Seniors +3) by want.
4. Positions by want, you can only recruit players that have
top 5 interest int you.
5. Only 1 A speed offensive skill player per class. No A+ speed allowed.
6. No Jucos allowed at ND and academic schools.
Thats the gist of my recruiting rules. I can tell you that it makes the end result of recruiting much more realistic. The good teams will still get their fair share of 4 & 5* recruits. The middle tier schools will get many more 3* than higher rated, but its realitic.
