Search for 3* OLmen and look at the teams in their top 3 spots. If you see Alabama, Oregon, Florida, USC, etc., and they are still in top8 or top 10 phase, then there's a good chance that they are gems. 1 hour of scouting will give you their real overall. Both of the gem OLmen that I recently got were found after several weeks of recruiting 4* and 5* OLmen with no success. The gems are not being recruited heavily, if at all.

I typically recruit 3-4 OLmen each year, so I'm seriously considering only going after 1-2 top guys that I'm in their top 3, then go after the 3* gems later. I could use the recruiting minutes on other players at other positions early on.

PocketScout has a great thread talking about real ratings. He talks about measurables and ratings not matching up, thus predicting possible gems.

And that for Nugent's first two years their punter was Andy Groom, who I believe was a Ray Guy finalist. So, it's a very fitting name.

Is it weird that I signed the #1 or #2 kicker and he was a 4 star player 84 overall?
