Anyone else have memorable recruits?

IDK about you guys but i always get attached to a particular recruit from the moment i see him. I know that he will be great and i know i want him on my team. Sometimes it can get to the point that i don't want to play my games, i just want to advance the week so i can see my progress and keep on recruiting the guy. I've had a great 4 year run with some guys and they always stick in my head, the ones that turn around programs i mean. I am so hyped for madden right now just because i want to start a franchise so i can get to the draft to play with them again. Right now i just signed that guy of this year with QB Danny Mathis. 6'5'' 227lbs with Bthp and B- tha. Some guys i even remember from older NCAA's like QB Cody Davis who single handed brought SMU to its championship days or HB Jonathon Dailey who turned from the #11 best HB of that recruit class to the #1 HB in NCAA history. What are some guys you remember and had fun with, and why were they or what made them so special to you?

Re: Anyone else have memorable recruits?

I recruited a 4-star wide receiver, Jamal Means 6-4 and 220lbs - dude shows up and is HUGE - biggest sholders I've seen on a wide receiver. He can't catch that well - but his speed is 94 as a true freshman - I sued him for Kick off returns, as of now, he's leading the nation in yards - averaging nearly 40 per touch. He's very difficult to bring down. He's big strong guy, who's very difficult to stop. I also recruited a 5-star RB who's 6'2 227lbs speed of 93, guy is basically Jim Brown reincarnated. I use Notre Dame.

But I had recruited like 3 other DE's in the class with a little more speed but less size. I lost my stud DT and so i decided to slide him to DT. ***ing STUD! Has 11.5 sacks 38 tackles 6 games in! Speed at 75 strength at 86 87 overall.nThis guy is gonna be the next Suh lol!!

Re: Anyone else have memorable recruits?

this isn't really anything to get excited about now, but i had just signed with from washington as an oc, In the offseason, some QB pops up, Joe Goff (#1 QB) ... he didn't have any interest in me, but i wanted a good QB to be like Locker... After 5 weeks, i became his #1 and he signed with me! I was excited but i had a real good QB so I RS him. That year i won the NC and got offered the HC at Ohio State... how can you turn that down!?!! I took it, and now 2 years later that QB is in the Heisman Race with a 99 ovr and 94 tp and 99 ta (i know progression is overrated, but boy did i miss out!)

Re: Anyone else have memorable recruits?

My best memories was on ncaa11, and I needed help big time on my offensive lineman issue, so I was able to recruit #1 &5 best Tackle and #2&4 best guard and played them as true freshmen and they blocked for me so well and stayed all 4 years! Went to pro and all my 4 linemen were picked in first round in madden 11. They made me proud

David Bryant, a 5 star wideout, who is 6'7" with a 4.34 40. Can you say major deep threat.

Re: Anyone else have memorable recruits?

A couple years ago, a DT recruit was added during the off-season and was the top-rated recruit in the nation. I went after the guy pretty hard and he turned out to be 91 overall. That is probably the single greatest player I have ever recruited.

I haven't settled into my dynasty on 12 yet, but I have one memorable recruit from 11.

Mike Williams: QB, 6'5", 230, the most outrageous dual threat ever.

I played him at RB/WR in his RS freshmen year for 3 games, but after seeing what he was capable of (5TD's and about 600 yards of offense) I knew I had to start him at QB. He broke every single meaningful school and NCAA rushing and passing record in his career, took me to 3 NC's in four year and, won the Heisman twice.

He was without doubt the best player I have ever used on the game - and all the more memorable as he was only a 4* recruit coming out of college. I still remember my jaw dropping when I opened his recruit page and saw his ratings.
