Recruits don't seem to sign.

[WeFireThoseCannons]

I am a OC 1st for South Bama and then moved to USF. I have gotten some really good recruits but not nearly as many as I should. I have been up 1000s on the second team. Blowing the other teams out for a season yet the guys don't sign. I may get like 10 recruits and the cpu does the rest in off season because they don't sign at that time either.

Could it be because I am the OC? I have not done a separate hc one yet.

This seems like a really stupid question but it's probably best to get through the obvious questions first. Are you making sure that you've offered them scholarships?

I'm having the same problem. Is there a way to change recruiting difficultly?

Yes you can. Under house rules right under difficulty selection.

Pretty sure you can't change recruiting difficulty

Why do we have to keep going over this? There is no recruiting difficulty setting this year.

That's why I was confused

When I don't see something but someone swears its there it freaks me out

Yes, offering scholarships is the 1st thing I have always done. It use to happen in the one last year where a player would drag it out. This year more players drag it out.

I have seen it as well, however for me, they were guys I found mid season and although I was ahead, their bar wasn't even close to full, so they didn't sign anywhere.

I just pretended that they were Academic DNQ's. If you fill up the interest bar, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

How much are you putting in per week?

What is your bonus per week?

At the end of the year - what is the lock %? Are any teams locked out?

Try not offering them the scholarship right away. I'm waiting for my guys to come on their visits, and offering them either the week they come or the week after. I feel like it could work like the visits, with the later ones being more important. I think waiting till later to offer them could also get you a few more insta-commits.

Having all 35 recruits on your recruiting board could also play a role in them not signing, because you can't give to many points, too very many players. I just try to sign the amount of seniors I lose during the season then once I get to that I will just focus in on a select few players that I REALLY want.

Unless you have developed the insta commit skill in the recruiting skill tree you will not get any insta commits. Out of the box the only one with the skill is Saban
