i let the cpu recruit too, b/c i'm not a big fan of the recruiting engine- i preferred the last gen engine. i set the board and offer the guys i want to offer the first couple weeks, then let the cpu do the rest. around the first of november, i reset the board and add new prospects to replace those that committed elsewhere or that i'm not in the running for anymore, then let them do the rest until the offseason. the cpu does an aight job, and if the cpu sucked at recruiting, then you would never lose a player you wanted to them when you're recruiting.
