My wide receivers aren’t good enough. They are the one position that’s going to cost me the national championship in my 6th season at Colorado. I had recruited two 5* recruits in the same year. They came in rated fairly high at 81 and 80. They are 86 and 85 in their second year with one starting and the other the slot receiver. The problem is, they don’t make any big plays.
Both receivers have mediocre size and speed. One is 5’ 10” while the other 6’. Their speeds are rated 91 and 90. They aren’t big or fast and I can’t hit a deep pass if my life depended on it. The cpu can dare me to complete one and it just won’t happen.
I had a juco 5* recruit earlier in my dynasty (years three and four) and this kid was a monster. He was tall (6’ 5”), fast (speed 95+), great hands (95+) and set records in his senior year. I’ve never done a good job of getting the ball to my receivers but this guy had almost 1400 yards and about 12 TDs on the year. I really miss him and you can see one of my deep balls to him in my video section here.

From now on I’m only recruiting receivers that are fast or tall and preferably both. Five stars be damned! I want and need the occasional big play to get me over the hump.
