Recruting Icons

Ok, this is a first one on me. You know how sometimes to the right and above a recruits name there will be an icon. The only one that I've ever seen is the pink diamond, which I believe indicates that this player is a "diamond in the rough." Well, I saw another one this afternoon. It was the words "team builder." Anyone know what this one means?

The guy is a 5* running back that signed with Middle Tennessee State (bad Sunbelt team in my dynasty), so I assumed it means you can "build a team around him," but I don't know.....

Re: Recruting Icons

I haven't heard of that one.

The pink diamond isn't a "diamond in the rough." It means that he's someone that isn't interested in your school, but if you add him to your board, he'll put you in his top 10.

The padlock means that 3 of his pitches are automatically uncovered.

The x2 means that you get double points for pitches, sways, visits, and recruiting against.

The 4th one isn't an icon, but you'll instantly sign him if you just talk to him (after having offered him a scholly previously and being #1 on his board).

OP, do you have the DLCs for recruiting? I don't and I've never heard of the team builder one, so maybe that's something that comes from DLCs.

Thanks for the clarification on the pink diamond. I had no idea what it meant, but the "diamond in the rough" seemed to make sense to me haha.

I don't even know what a "DLC" is haha.... so I doubt I have these. Are these the extra things you buy? If so, no I don't have them.

I haven't taken notice of any of these outside of the x2 for double points. Will def keep an eye on these from here on out.

I'll bet anything the kid has awareness of about 6... Mid Tenn St? Akron? He's a 5-star RB for Pete's sake... what's he thinking???

And EA says there's no "dirty recruiting" allowed in the game! LOL
