Elite strength in recruits?

[Dianwei32]

Are there ever any recruits who come in as freshmen (i.e. not JuCo transfers) with A-/A Strength ratings? I've seen plenty with B and even a few with B+, but no A's. I've recruited 2 of the top 5 OT's two years in a row, but among all four the highest Strength rating was 86. I like to build great OLs that have players with great Strength, but all my current guys are graduating and all of their backups only have 86-89 Strength, even with 2-3 years of progression they'll only end up with 90-92 Strength.

Are there any recruits that come out on the OL (or even the DL) that have A Strength ratings? Or will I have to custom make some linemen recruits if I want players that strong?

Get pocket scout and sort through the rankings... I've found some real gems that you'd never expect with that program (i.e. 2 star jucos that come in in the 80s etc...). One time I actually had a 1 star fullback that came in with the highest "carrying" rating in the entire class.... even above all the five star RBs... how crazy is that?

If your doing your Dynasty Online, you can go to the EA webpage and actually download a spread sheet with all the recruits. Doing this allows you to sort through all the players by certain rating. I have found guys that are 3* players that have high ratings in categories I want. It takes a little more time, but I think it is worth it.

Yep. A lot of 3 star recruits tend to have insane ratings in certain stats. Free Safeties with A+ Acceleration, 3 star guards with A strength.
