Being last in the nation in recruiting

[IUxHOOSIERS]

I'm in 3 online dynasties and in each one of them I am undefeated. However at the end of the season I'm always doing terrible in recruiting. I know how to recruit, that's not the problem. I've played NCAA since 02. But I think my strategy that I use every year is worthless this year.

I dont put 35 players on my recruiting board. I usually put around 18-20 solid players that I want. Like I'm in week 15 in this dynasty and I have like 3 commits and 14 players left on my board with Indiana. I have maxed out every player but one on my board with 500 points. I just dont get why I'm doing so bad.

How are you selecting the players you are recruiting? The CPU always puts max points into the players they are recruiting, so it is very difficult to catch up when you fall behind. Strart with 10-15 recruits that like you and are in your pipeline.

Later in the season, find the gems that aren't being recruited by other schools and try to break in.

I fill my board with 10 guys that I'm #1 on their list right out of the gate. Works pretty will.

What I do is go through each position during the pre season and see who is interested. If I find a 4 star (or better) that is interested I automatically add him to my board. Then I see who else is interested. I do that for every position.

I add about 5 or 6 players DURING the season due to players not being interested or committing elsewhere. Those players are the ones who arent getting looked at by anyone.

It won't matter if they're interested if your bonus points are 200 while the other guys on his board have 400 bonus points.

You're doing it wrong. Can have a quality recruiting class by just going after the 3 star players that go unrecruited. Exploit this flaw in the game

It's more of just me going for quality over quantity I guess. And I wouldn't consider that a "flaw" since you're adding depth to your team.
