I have a 2 star fullback in my season, so at least there is some.

Out of curiosity, do you remember what he was rated as a freshman? Or is he still being recruited (current season)?

To give you an idea...

My teambuilder offline dynasty was built on a first haul of 2 and 3* recruits. I just brought in a massive haul in my first year, like 28 total recruits.

From there, I just filled every position up with top talent and cut out the rest (no need for those low 50's and high 40's draggin the curve down).

In 2 seasons, every starter, down to 4th WR and 4 CB, had an OVR no lower than 78 and into the high 90's at the top end. I went from D+ across the board to A- across the board. I was really impressed that they have brought back the year-to-year increases like back in the day.

@TIMBOB, thanks for the strategy tip. Tips/strats that I have for recruiting is target prospects appropriately. If you're the Toledo Rockets, you really have no business even bothering with top level talent unless you are in their top 4, I might consider top 5 depending on the attributes. Pipeline, pipeline, pipeline...did I say pipeline? And yeah, make sure you are looking at attributes. Just cuz a guy has 4*'s (and sometimes even 5*'s) doesn't always = supa-star.

lol. thats wrong too really. a young guy would have plenty of throw power. accuracy would be the issue right??

He is still being recruited, I will check out his ratings, though.
