Re: Best gem ever?

In my OD, I'm recruiting a 3* guard who went from 66 to 78 after scouting for a +12. He'll be starting on the Irish OL within 2 years. Can't wait until he signs.

Re: Best gem ever?

My best gem just happened in my Miami dynasty. A low star corner, 69 overall before scouting, ended up being a +11 80 overall at 100% scouting. Cant wait to have him next season to go along with all the highly touted corners i got last season!

He wasn't listed as a Gem but his overall at the position I put him at was a lot better than what it showed.

I recruited a 74 ATH who after scouting was listed at 75. He got to my school and ended up being an 82 FS.

Re: Best gem ever?

The best gem I've found so far was a 69 CB (three star) who ended up a 77 overall. 96 speed, 84 mcv, 88 zcv. A white dude named Kevin Coleman. Can't wait to use him next year.

Re: Best gem ever?

I've had a couple in my current season (Season 1) with Nebraska. I'm in an OD with 10 others who all have elite teams and so I can't really win the head to head recruiting battles for elite players and I've done a good job of finding gems.

My best one is the #12 OLB, 4*. Started as 72, went +8 to 80 overall. Will be a beast. Another was 2* kicker from Nebraska. I need to replace a graduating senior punter and all the elite guys I went after fell through, went to this guy, scouted him with 30 minutes and he went from 67 to 73 with 89 kick power. He signed the following week. I still haven't fully scouted him to know his final overall number, but I bet he'll be +10 overall. KPW is all that matters.

The best one is the #71 3* CB. Added him in Week 9, fully scouted him by Week 12 and he went from 64 to 74. 93 speed, 95 accel, 84 agil, 89 jump, 80 man, 82 zone. Dude is awesome. I return all of my CB's next year so didn't need an instant contributor. I'll red shirt him and get him up to around 80 overall as a RS FR, ready to get on the field as a nickel.

Had a few other +6 and +7 guys. Great class considering.

Re: Best gem ever?

Working on a 3* DT. #26 DT 6'5" 302 from Arkansas. Was a 69 before scouting, but a +11 80 after scouting.

84 Strength
81 Power Moves
79 Finesse Moves
82 Block Shedding
82 Tackle
84 Hit Power
74 Pursuit
71 Play Recognition

He's an instate prospect but I'm only fifth on his list right now. He's got a top-3 of Texas, LSU, and Oklahoma. Gonna hard to beat them out.
