Guys, I've been wanting to post up a recruting how-to for a long while and never got around to it. I am consistently able to pull of 10 5 stars the first year with a ** University of Houston team and up to 20 ***** a year after that. recruiting is very repetitive and easy and it is basically the same this year. here are the steps.
1) Target the top 35 you want regardless of interest or caliber.
2) In week one quick call 11 players with 55 minutes and a scholarship offer.
3) advance to week 2
4) In week two look at the recruits you targeted in week 1; you should have been able to do 11 recruits. Out of those 11 anywhere from 1 to 5 of them will now have interest in your school.
IMPORTANT: at week 2 some prospects will be interested in visiting. get them in as quick as possible. A visit always boosts unless you lose.
5) delete all recruits that have A) been offered and B) do not have interest in your school
6) Focus on the 1 to 5 prospects that have showed interest and spend at least two hours with each doing the fillowing:
a) you must use find pitch to find 2 pitches you are going to use over and over again with this recruit. these should be at least high-b+ and in the best case a very high and a most with a b+ or above.
b) once you have found these two pitches you will start quickly tapping x on the first with hard sell (doesnt matter which pitch you choose first) the player will begin to be most happy.
c) AS SOON AS the player takes himself from most happy to just happy press O
d) start at the "b)" step above with the second pitch and repeat up to 3 times (both pitches through the complete process twice)
7) If you have time left over (which you absoloutely should not if you have 4-5 players interested {you should be spending 2.5 hours on each 5 star prospect}) repeat the quickcall and offer method but this time only use 35 minutes on each prospect
The thing most people dont realize is that the little green progress bar EA added this year is WORTHLESS!
It should take you 3-6 weeks to sign each prospect with this method, and you should have at least eight 5 star players heading into the offseason and up to 15.
OFFSEASON
this one is very easy.
Go find every prospect that has not built up interest in a school. You do this by r3 clicking on the prospect and seeing the progress bars. If they are all yellow add him regardless of his interest in your school.
Offer every single prospect the freaking moon. Im talking give him your best 3 promises you can give. (dont ever give the "will not recruit player" promise)
dont worry about pitching prospects week 1. just offer each ***** a scholly and promise him his hearts desire.
after the promises week, proceed as usual with the method above, focus on the top 4 prospects; sign them quick and then get to the others.
If you use this guide you will blow through recruiting with such ease you will feel as if you have cheated. Ive been holding this info back for a long time but so many are so perplexed that i thought id put it out there. If you have any questions post them. I will answer.
