Re: Favorite recruit?

One year I picked a #7 and #13 SS and FS. They were labeled as "hard hitting". They ended up being 96\97 speed and 95\93 acc. Needless to say they were 3 year starters in one of the best pass coverage defenses of all time. I believe the next year I the #1 CB and a gem of an OLB with 90 speed.

Players can learn a lot after 4 years of school, but one thing that you cannot teach is speed.

Re: Favorite recruit?

Finally a thread I can post this stuff in hehe

This took me a while to upload/post so I hope you appreciate it

Back on NCAA 2008 was my favorite recruit, although he wasn't recruited by me.. but.. Tim Hartman WR transferred to me from UCLA (I was Wyoming). He was a low 80s rated sophomore with high 90s speed, spectacular catching, and returning. He practically single handedly lead my team to 3 amazing seasons which results in BCS bowl berths and a national championship. He also won the Heisman too. Never did I more 'fall in love' with a player then I did with him. In the year before I won the national championship I had made it to the Rose Bowl vs USC and I was down 3 with no timeouts at my own 20 with 37 seconds to go. My QB drops back and throws a deep ball to Hartman who makes the 50 yard catch down to USCs 30-40 yardline. Since my kicker sucked I didn't kick a fieldgoal and with 8 seconds left I scrambled left and threw up a high pass to Hartman running towards the endzone. He leaped in the air and made an unbelievable 1 handed catch, landed, and was tackled at the 1 yardline as the final seconds ticked away. It was my most heartbreaking loss ever.


Oh yes, I have pictures!









Sometimes on the newer NCAA games I create him in create-a-player and put him on Wyoming and try to replicate what I did back in NCAA 08.

I would pay money for a Wyoming jersey with Hartman on the back but cant find a way to order a custom Wyoming jersey.


As for the greatest recruit I have ever had.. well that would have to be Chase Johnson in NCAA 09 for the PS2. I was the Bethune Cookman Wildcats and had built the team up to BCS contenders and there was one of the top ATH in the nation interested that I managed to recruit (Chase Johnson). He asked for me (yes players in old-gen used to ask for stuff) to promise him #71 which I thought was really strange because all his info (40 times, etc) and his size 6'1 200lbs made him seem like a halfback and from my experience players usually only ask for numbers in their best positions number range (for halfbacks its usually 1-49). Well, it turns out this guy must have been a defensive end in high school as well (thus the reason he asked for #71).

Here were his attributes senior year:

90 Speed
86 Strength
94 Awareness
95 Agility
92 Acceleration
76 Catching
86 Carrying
99 Break Tackle
82 Tackling
68 Pass Blocking (amazing for a halfback)
62 Run Blocking
99 Kick Returning

Here are what his rating would be if I changed his position:

HB: 99
FB: 99
WR: 85
TE: 95
OL: 72
DE: 99
DT: 90
OLB: 93
MLB: 82
CB: 87
FS: 91
SS: 92

He won a ton of awards including best kick returner.

Oh yes I have more pictures!

NCAA 10 - I (SMU) had a 6'5 197 WR named Carlos Tereshinski. 97 SPD, 95ACC, 90 CTH, 90 JMP in my RNS offense. Dude had a 20+ TD year. I had to switch the sliders up after that one...lol
