I only allow myself 15 recruits on Week 1. Once I land 2 or 3 recruits then I start adding more, normally happens around Week 4-6. Then I go back and do a search for interested recruits (green) and look for prospects that aren't leaning too far in favor of another school and target them if I'm interested. At the same time I will start at the #1 recruit and go down the list looking for recruits (5*-3*) that are being ignored by their top 10 schools. If any of those recruits interest me I will target them. But I only ever call a max 15 recruits at any given week (40 mins per).

I only recruit what I need to keep roster minimums met for the next year or two, this help prevent my team from become a juggernaut. If I need 1 MLB, i'll target 2 MLB's and hope I land 1 of the 2. I normally end up with 19-22 recruits a year.

71 OVR. I have him as my #4 WR right now because I still have 2 Seniors and a Junior in the upper 80's. But next year he'll be a #2 for sure.

Yeah, I struggle to get the ball to them as well, but I like to use 5 and 10 yard come-back routes. Make sure the WR is turning to come back to the ball or its basically an automatic INT.

Eww... a 6'5 Kick returner? Really? Seems odd..

I have found that tall guys have a slower time hitting top speed and juking, even if their ACC or Juke is up in the high 90s. It just seems shorter players work better for stuff like that.

Its why I always ALWAYS have a couple of small 5'8-'5'11 receivers on my rosters. They work amazing in the slot and for kick returns.

I can understand that....def would look odd. I say Returner but once my next season starts....he'll more than likely be a top 3 receiver on my team, so he def wont be returning. What can I say though...I recruit like Al Davis drafts...
