Teams to start a recruiting/program building dynasty with???

[UnusualMattyB]

I am going to start a "build one school into a powerhouse" dynasty but can't decide who to play with. I'd rather they be a one or two star prestige school.

Has anyone started one that they had a good time with? With maybe just one star QB or RB or WR to begin with? or a cool home field that made playing with them fun?

Any help would be appreciated.

Colorado's a 3* and is pretty fun if you can get over how bad EA made their helmets.

Mid Tenn State is a team that has caught my eye this year. They have a great QB in Dwight Dasher and that's pretty much it. Have really cool uni's and combinations of those unis. You can play @ Tenn and @ Vandy or @ Ark each year in your non confrence games for recruiting purposes.

Another team I'm looking at is North Texas. Like the uni's and it's Texas football, nuff said.

And Hawaii, love those uni's too and who would not love to play in the Whack confrence and run the Run and Shoot?

In years past I enjoyed building SMU back to the power of the 80's before the "death sentence". They are in Texas (great for recruiting), get the cast offs from Texas and A&M, and can play good schools non-conference. They also have the "Run-n-Shoot". I have not played with them this year but it was fun to build them up last year.

SDSU is pretty cool, They have a pretty alright team, starts with alot of 3* interested prospects being in Cali... Also have and "A" and "B" in a couple categories to begin with...

I also like the teams Jersey color scheme and the fact they play in the Chargers Stadium, Pretty Nice and Big

I started a dynasty with my teambuilder school. 1* Siena College in the MAC. Im finding it a lot of fun because I loaded the team up with the cupcake players from the website so the team is awful.

Just wondering if anyone has taken a team from 1* to 6* prestige, how long did it take, and was it fun.

Go with Wyoming. Their schedule is a little tough, in that the first year they play @Texas and home against Boise State in weeks 2 and 3, then later @TCU and against Utah in weeks 6-7 .

It's also a little difficult because they're a 2* school, but almost a 1* school. They don't get much of a break with recruiting either, barely eeking out 1 or 2 3* players at best in recruiting.

Their plusses:

• Starting QB Austin Carta-Samuels is a pretty good passer for a sophomore. Plenty of durability and three years of eligibility left...
• Starting LE Josh Biezuns is a beast, fast, powerful pass rusher, a Rs Jr
• Their offense uses a lot of 5W sets that can be very effective in all down and distance situations

Their minuses:

• Lack of depth at G, FS, TE, which you'll notice when recruiting
• Starting LT in the game is weak, and gives up too much ground
• No explosive RB

Overall, they're fun to play and a real challenge as well. Use the 3-3-5 whenever you feel you're going to get a healthy dose of pass plays against, as their DT aren't that great. Pay close attention to the depth chart as their DB's can sometimes pull too much duty and get exhausted.

Marshall; Wily Korn is a good QB transferred from Clemson.

i created a teambuilder team: South Alabama Jaguars...2 star team, with C overall rating.

SMU is always a good choice. FIU or FAU would also be a good choice since they are in florida.

Re: Teams to start a recruiting/program building dynasty with???

i usually go with a team in texas, fla, or cali, for the recruiting.
this year it's SMU. in past years it was: UCF, north texas, FIU, rice, san diego st, tulane, ULM, nevada, etc. really liked rice and UCF out of those guys.

I just started one with Big Bad Baylor and their fearsome "Claw" touchdown animation lmao. 2-0 so far using SN AA Sliders. Next game at #6 TCU. *Gulp*

RG3 is reason enough to pick this team. Plus, their all white away unis are a thing of beauty. I also wanted to play in a big conference, without using custom conferences to switch stuff around unrealistically.

Yeah, they are apealing to me too... I'm going to start an new nasty tonight when I get home and they are on my short list.

The big 12 South is brutal if you are the worst team with games against Texas, OU and Tech throwing the ball all over the field. For the life of me I can't stop Air Raid or R&S in this game.

Not to mention the great Non confrence games you can play in that area. Like you said, at TCU or taking the trip over to LSU or down to Houston to play the Cougars. Go west and take on UTEP or Arizona State.

You could rig yourself a pretty nasty schedule with Baylor.

Every year I try to build up Rice University.
This year they have a stud RB with RS SO Sam McGuffie who transferred from Michigan. Phil Steele had him as the #7 RB in the nation coming out of high school and he even led the Wolverines in rushing his freshman year. He starts out in the low 80's but by his senior year develops into a 90-93 beast!
They also have a pretty good Alabama transfer at QB in Nick Fanuzzi (Phil Steele's #22 QB coming out of high school.)

Since they play in Texas, recruiting is much more fun.

I am now in year 5 of my Rice dynasty and after year 4, I accepted an invitation to the Big 12 (replacing Baylor who moved to the C-USA.)
I am now a 5* program and have put a few nice recruiting classes under my belt. Very fun school to build up.

How long does it take to build up to something of worth if I don't pick a school in one of the "power states"...anyone know?
