As a 1-star school you'll benefit more from signing 10 decent 3-star recruits at any spot than you would getting lucky and signing one 5-star stud but missing out on those ten 3-star guys.

I agree with this post, the way I described my recruiting was for my already highly rated team, if I do a smaller school I usually add about 15-20 and go from there.

Can anybody tell me why sometimes when i have like a 2,000 point lead the computer seems to make up like 1,000 of those points in one week? This sucks because i always start my dynasty with the worst team in the game and i will have a nice lead on a prospect to only have what seems to be imaginary points for the computer steal him away.

What I do is I always try to put 500 points into any guy I recruit. Of course if you are choosing a bad team and don't win that much or those grades for play style, etc don't match up big time sways can happen like that.

CPU team(s) scheduled a visit I bet.

ALWAYS fill your entire board, the bonus points can keep you in the race for a recruit you aren't actually recruiting until the end of the season.

I always find 16-20 guys that I feel I NEED to make my squad better. Top 4-8 on the board are position needs (they get 500 points). Everyone else in the top 16-20 gets 200 points. It's worked pretty well for me over the last few years.

Sometimes the CPU will make inexplicable jumps in the points chase. The most dramatic gain I've seen was a +4090 points, and it was not even the CPU's visit week.

When I start with a lower team I make sure to use my points wisely.
Make sure your school rates higher on bonus points so its not a waist.
Scout, scout, scout.
My first 2 years at a small school I usually try and find 1 gamechanger (QB, RB, DE) and then load up on a ton of 3 star guys if possible to bring up the overall talent.
Stick to your pipeline states
