Whats the best recruit you have landed?

[CornfedChris]

What is the best recruit you have landed? I want to hear what everyone else has done recruiting-wise in this gen's game.

I used to be able to land 80-85 overall dual-threat QB's in the old gen but not anymore. I remember when I was UMass back in the day I signed a dual threat QB with like 85 Speed and 84 Pass Accuracy. Ended up winning me Back to Back national titles.

My buddy always talks about his favorite QB ever named Dan Bobo who he was un-beatable with haha.

I'm necessarily saying it has to be the overall freshman rating, but maybe some of you have developed some really good talent. There has to be some good stories.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

I landed a 5 star DE that was like 6'1 210 and he had 89 Speed and Acelleration.

Atheletic beast but couldn't do that much with him.

But in my OD he could quarterback spy all of the people that had quarterbacks that could run.

One that stands out, not the best was a 3-4 OLB that I would have dominated with if we had the ability to have Will/Sam linebackers.

My best was probably on NCAA 11 was a 4* Juco (So) DE. He won 3 Bednarik Awards.

My best since I've been playing NCAA is Brad Wade. 98spd 99acc on my 2009 dynasty with FSU. I got him out of OH. My boy was OSU. I think 4 of the 5 users were recruitng him. If we could port dynasties that would be the one. He came in as a 78 and he lit the country up. He's BY FAR my best recruit.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

It was a DE by the name of Mike Haggar; I think he was the number 2 rated DE prospect in his class, I landed him, he was about a 79 to start, but had beast acceleration and speed, and by the time of his junior and senior season he was unstoppable and could get me a couple sacks a game

Also, I did create him, but no guarantee I would land him and he wasnt rated perfect form the get go, rated just like the other top DE's

Same thing with Freddie Mercury, created him, one of the top RB's in his class...I created him to be like barry sanders...he had speed like no other...not very big, but elusive.

I cant really remember the names of generic recruits...

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

Would probably have to be in my Eastern Michigan dynasty. Recruited an athlete that I saw had pretty good THP named Mike Jackson. Brought him in and he became an immediate starter at QB (was something like 67 OVR with high 70's SPD, ACC, AGI). I had been using a spread option the year before so he fit in perfectly. Started for 3 years and led me to 3 MAC titles. Helped that I had gotten 2 transfers. One a RB from Mich. St. named David Spears and the other a WR named James Jackson from Ohio St. who nearly won the heisman for me one year. Ultimately got invited into the Big Ten before I quit. Was a really fun dynasty.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

Mine was the first player to commit to me in NCAA 11 (All I had to do was offer a scholarship).

He was a 5 star WR (#1 player in the class overall). I cant remember his rating as a freshman, but he ended up being a 99 by his JUNIOR year.

He was 6'6" about 215lbs. He was amazingly fast for his size (around 97-99 speed and acceleration). He sort of reminded me of a Calvin Johnson or a faster + taller Brandon Marshall. I gave him #17 (because he's a beast).

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

I remember a QB in my UTEP Dynasty named Will Blankenship, he had a + Arm & + Accuracy to go along with 80+ speed. He was definitely a great QB to have after Jordan Palmer graduated.

Probably not my best recruit but definitely my favourite player. Robert Greco. 6'7 250 lb QB (not created by me) with my Notre Dame dynasty. he didn't start till his RS sophomore season but the dude was just unstoppable. He was a 99 in his RS sophomore season, 99 thp, 99 tha, 99 awr. He had 75 speed as well and wasn't bad at the break tackle. Big Ben, but better. Made sure he came in with a great overall in my franchise and he took the pack to 15 straight superbowl titles before retiring, the greatest to ever play the game. Also won 15 MVPs and 3 Heismans. He had close to 60 000 yards when he retired.

Had some great DE's and linebackers as well... Greco is my favourite by far though...

I have to admit, i had to look him up. But i must say, that is an impressive pro stat line.

I'm Australian and haven't followed college football very long, always been a packer fan though. I liked Notre Dame because of the cool helmet, thought it look bitchin'.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

not the best overall recruit like most poeple are saying but during my Oregon state Dynasty, Jaquizz had just left for the NFL and i got a Senior who was 88 overall and 3* freshman who was 70 overall and very fast. in my first game the Senior broke his leg, so i had to put in the freshmen and he kill. it was unreal, no matter what the diffcultly it was he would tear things up, i think he was 5'9-5'10 170-180pds and like i said before very fast, also i think it was a glitch some of the time, because i played on heisman and he would break every tackle

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

With Middle Tennessee State I landed the top recruit in the country an ATH from California. I was in a recruiting battle with USC for him I won, only for him to be a FB...He is damn good though MTSU is in the SEC now (Kentucky got kicked) he has good hands and is pretty fast so I use short passes to him all the time.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

A few candidates:

ATH Thurman Pierce - 92 spd 85 thp 79 tha

DE Brandon Jackson 89 spd b acc, agi, fmv, bsh

I've had a couple of 99 ovr 99 thp 99 tha third year pocket passers. Too bad ncaa is built for speed rollouts and lacks the passing touch / depth to get the value that madden pocket passers habe.

Re: Whats the best recruit you have landed?

My best recruit was a JUCO transfer, does that count?

#1 RB in the country, 5'10 98 speed 95 acceleration. Set records with him and won the Rose Bowl as Oregon State. He was very injury prone though..
