I believe only the top player(s) on your recruiting board are really affected. I'm in the fourth year at Rice and landed the #10 HB recruit in my third season. I started out with him as my top target, but I moved him further and further down because I needed help recruiting other players. At one point, I had him around 6 or 7 on my board even though he was the HB I wanted most and had a 3-star HB at the top of my board.

Sometimes, recruits just want to go to a certain school and it doesn't matter where you have them on your board.

Bingo, I've found this option is GOLD.

Ive never lost a recruit after he soft committed to me. Just make sure you spend 60 mins w/ him a week and he'll committ

Had no clue about that one

In one of the older versions of NCAA they said that a players position on your board would have an effect on his interest. Unfortunately EA introduces new elements and then forgets to put them in the next version so who knows if it still has an effect.

Super unlikely that he will commit to another school.
A soft commit is basically saying that i will sign with you.
I have never lost a soft commit or stolen a soft commit from another school.
To make him commit just keep talking to him.
Dont use too much time though.

i would really like to know if recruits "react" to their position on your recruiting board
but i'm going to assume that they don't
because every week i go to look at my board and it has been reorganized
in no discernable order?
anyone else have this problem?

I have a question if a player has soft committed to a school,but they havent offered a scholly, do you still try to recruit, or do you give up??
