Out of the big three(Florida, Cali, and Texas) which state do you think constantly produces the best recruits? I think it's either Florida or Texas, California hasn't been very good in my game.

Could be just b/c I GET more from Cali and Tejas that those two have been the best for me with my Auburn program.
FLA seems so tough, I lose so many to Miami; oddly, in current recruiting class I'm running up against FSU for one of the first times. As well, perhaps the FLA/FSU/Miami trio is so strong that I don't get make the top-10 against those home-state guys.
Have proved more than able in pulling guys away from the Horns and Trojans.
Oklahoma gives me fits with the TX boys, though. And on a side note, I don't know the numbers for all the times I've tried, but if a Midwest guy has Mich. 1st I'll likely lose him, though I keep beating my head against that wall.

For me:
1. Texas (unquestionable here as they're the kings)
2. Florida
3. California (very close to Florida)
4. Ohio
HM: Pennsylvania, Louisiana.

IMO, in the next few years, you will be able to put Ohio into the Big 3

peteykirch · 12-06-2010, 05:55 PM

After the Big 3, I find NJ/OH/PA seem to be the best bets.

I play as Miami and FSU for some reason is way way harder to recruit against then Florida, Florida has became mediocre in my dynast and has had some pretty awful classes.

Texas by far.
Florida has been far better for me than California... and fighting off Miami & FSU isn't hard when you're in the SEC if the recruit cares about conference prestige at all.
California is still super strong, though.

After that, I tend to find a lot of great players in Georgia and Alabama. I can easily keep pipelines there without even having to think about it. Ohio/Pennsylvania are really, really good recruiting hotbeds as well, but I typically try and keep my pipelines regional and only get the very best from outside.

I would go
1) Texas
2) California
3) Florida
There have been a lot of years for me where there is only one or no 5 star recruits in Florida it's really weird.
