The Best Recruiting Gem Ever?

[EvanRG]

I mean honestly, this made the NCAA '13 purchase worth it for me today. First of all, sheer blind luck in deciding to recruit this 1* Center. After I finished scouting him I thought it was a typo or that he would get pulled out from under me. Thankfully, no one was interested in him besides myself and Akron.

Sadly, he'll probably end up being the best recruit I sign in my time at Kent State, ever, and he was only my 3rd signing.

EDIT: Of course, as soon as I post this, a 3* HB who bumped up to a 69 overall just committed. I'll take it. Also, I'm recruiting on All-American.

that guy is aweful. he is a juco (JR), and is a 67, you definately get a better one

Nothing like finding that random gem. Seems like big gems are often JUCO players.

I had a 1* RB on one of my dynasties at a 69 (+15). Sucks I didn't get him though.

Still, my point is that he was rated as a 54 overall 1* center. I haven't seen any recruits bump up more than 6-9 points, let alone +13?!

Hopefully you're right though! I have a 72 overall WR who's getting close to committing to me over South Carolina. I keep nailing them on the sheer fact that he doesn't want to play far from home (cha-ching). I guess my board was a bit better than I expected, heh.

I saw a 4* ATH that was a 70 OVR get bumped to 79 with 92 speed, 96 accl, 85 throw pow, 84 throw acc. Can't believe I'm UTSA and about to take this guy in. I'm first and it's week 13, and I've got a 380 point lead over UF because he's in-state for me and prox to home is his most important

I had the same thing happen to me in my ULL dynasty. Some ATH started out at 74, then after recruiting he shot up to 82. He run, throw, catch, and return. Someone is about to dominate the Sun Belt.

I've noticed quite of few of my gems have been JUCO athletes who turn out to be silly good when you move them to QB. Like 90+ speed and THP/THA both in the mid 80's.
