Recruit Problem

[pistonica]

I am the HC at Miami U...and i have created a recruit with great stats except punting stats...and made him a punter in order to get him more easy...all good until now..he is the worst punter in the recruits..he is a 1 star recruit...i am talking with him every week...6 topics...and after every week i am not even in his top 10 teams...i am the only school that offered him a schoolarship...oh and one more thing...the teams in his top 10 are changing...are earning points...and i am in week 8...what is the problem?...

ive had the same problem, not with a created prospect, but with any rank (3 star, 4 star etc.) ill be the only person to offer a player a ship, and somehow wont even break into his top 10....i even recruited a guy from week one, was his ONLY scholarship offer the ENTIRE YEAR and i STILL couldnt break into the top 10 lol

But he eventually signed with you? Or not?

Generally if you aren't in a player's top 10 initially, the only way you have a shot is if they have the pink diamond "hidden gem" icon and you recruit them early.

With created recruits, best you have them come from your school's home state and even city, often does the trick.

he went all the way into the summer recruiting before finally getting an offer from a school in his top 3, complete bs

Some recruits are like that...they're not interested in your school no matter how much ur interested in them....this scenario has happpened to me before too so don't sweat it....just move onto to someone that is interested in ur school
