Re: Your Recruiting Strategy

I haven't done dynasty in 11 yet, and I know the recruiting is a little bit different this year, however in years past...

Generally speaking, I ordered my recruits in order of priority need for my team. My main focus is on filling holes, and then I go after the big time prospects that could see significant playing time early.

As for time, it's kind of a mixed bag. Early on, I like to spread my time out evenly amongst as many recruits as possible to get some feelers. I try to find the recruits that have a high priority on the things my school grades out well on. If his high priorities are on things my school grades out bad on, I drop him off.

Also, I don't always keep 35 guys on my board. You can't talk to 35 players every week, etc.


That said, I tend to spend a little let time with the people who have me as their #1 school, and more time with the others I'm trying to move up with. However, I do try to at least touch base with all the guys that have me at #1. The sooner they commit, the sooner I can start focusing on other recruits. Also, I don't lose that recruit this way.

I don't offer scholarships to anyone that I'm not their #1 choice unless I it is late in the season and I need a boost to jump up. Sometimes I will do it kind of mid-season to recruits in pipeline states, especially the home state.
