    So what recruiting gems have you come across on?

    A few seasons ago I nabbed a 3 star FB that came in at 83 overall, with 98 acceleration and decent blocking skills.

    In my last recruiting coup I got the 10th best DE 4* and he came in at 82 overall with decent speed 72, strength 85, and acceleration 83, he also seems to be a sure tackler at 86.

    To go with him a 3* JUCO SOPH OLB (24th Overall) came in at 77 overall, with 80 speed, 93 acceleration.

    Did these recruiting classes get generated before or after you downloaded the tuner file?

      In my OD i got a receiver who was 1* 46 overall, the only reason i recruited him was cause he was 6'7. Come to find out he was 65 overall Free safety, not bad for a 1* i guess.

          Cool. Good to know the tuner file gives this kind of recruiting. I saw your post updating his progression in the other thread. Thanks.

              A 3 star 6'4" (#76 best WR) that came in at 74. This was before the tuner patch

                  Using UCF I got a 3 star ATH that has become a beast at QB.

                  His arm is weak (78) but is accuracy is ok (82) and he has 91 speed, 89 agility, 85 break tackle, 87 juke, 85 spin.

                    QB Ali Scales - 65 Overall - 3-star recruit

                    In my 2011 season, he comes in after my 91-rated Sr. QB gets injured and my backup plain sucks against Florida.

                    So far through 2+ games:
                    7 TD : 0 INT

                    I have been thoroughly surprised at how well his passes have been on target.

                    82 THP
                    77 THA

                    He has been on point despite these low ratings. My backup with higher ratings was terrible and threw 0 TD : 2 INT.

                    He also had a nice touchdown run vs. Florida. Check out my sig to see the latest games (UF, New Mexico, Oregon State) to see him in action.

                      Wow that sounds like one hell of an option type QB! Damn I wouldn't mind somebody like that!

                        Some of the recruiting classes are pretty funny, I've just been simming away.

                        UCF somehow nabbed 2 5*s and 9 4*s.

                        Fresno State is another team that seems to recruit really well over and over.

                          Some other ones I've found;

                          A 3* SS (21 Overall) came in at 77 overall, he's not that fast 79, but has 91 acceleration, but he is a good tackler 83, and hits hard 92, and plays nasty man coverage 89.

                          Well he wasn't quite a hidden gem, but I got the #3 overall QB that popped up in the off-season and luckily he is from NJ and had me 1st on his list to start with, he ends up giving me his verbal on the spot. The ratings? 85 overall, 92 speed, 82, acceleration, 86 awareness, 83 break tackle, 90 elusiveness, not that good at passing, 83 throw power, 77 throw accuracy.

                            Now to see 3* come in like this and actually make an impact is awesome. I haven't had any yet as i've restarted my Rutgers dynasty (...and after winning the BCS too dammit ). So i'm looking forward to see what's coming.

                            Also saw in another thread a guy get a 64 OVR player progress nicely into the high 80's. Nice. Now if the patch fixes option teams and running in general, i'll have no complaints at all.

                              Recruited a 4 star QB ranked 10th in the nation in my 6th year after the tuners.

                              Named Dan Patton, 86thp, 80tha, 85acc, 88spd.

                              He is my backup but should start next season. I currently use him in certain packages. I have a couple of plays I run the read option from the Pistol and Shotgun. I also use him for speed option plays out of my single back sets.
