I'll revisit this again at the end of the year, but I'm seriously considering raising the difficulty of recruiting. I only have 6 scholarships left and it seems like I have over a dozen "gems" signed. I'm not really complaining. This class will is going to be huge for me, but it does seem a little too easy.

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

I was just thinking after the last advance how bad my recruiting has been this year. To begin the year I think I was top 5 on 7-8 four and five star recruits, so I wasted my time tryin to recruit them. I was spending 60 minutes on them and couldn't break 225 points. Then there is a 5* HB that I led since the 2nd week by a bunch and Clemson started coming on 4 weeks ago and now has a soft commit from. I also am maxed out on a 5* WR for three weeks now with no soft commit and Miss St is charging with a visit in Wk 14.
My big mistake was not focusing on 3* gems. I may get lucky and sign 15 guys this off season. But I think it's more of a strategy problem (no chance if competing with big schools) not difficulty.

 

[Piney]

I say wait another year... why?

Where the eff are the gems? I have yet to see one. The biggest jump I have seen is a +4. Mostly I am finding busts, especially the 4* that I have been able to grab. But going from 79 to 71 is still a good recruit for me. Every 3* recruit either will go up 2 pts or down 3-4 pts.

Heck, in the other dynasty the only gems I have found were two freaking punters.

Really does anyone know what the difference in the next level of recruiting? Is it the same as the other dynasty? I know in last year's version they just limited your changing the topic from 3 to 2, is there a difference like that in this year's version? Like less promises? Visits getting lower grades? Less points per call?

Interesting that the two stud Athletes that I am recruiting for QB registered as a WR & FS! I mean I scouted them both with 89 speed the WR has THP 91 THA 77 and the FS has THP 81 THA 84. If those aren't QBs I would love for a spread option attack I don't know who else to use

Heck, I was figuring the 5* guy could have been a CB. Dang... decisions decisions... a 77-80 OVR rated WR, CB or QB... I love having hard choices like this

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

Screw all of you. I just lost a 5* ATH that was going to be my QB and am still stinging over the pending loss of the 5* HB. At this point I'm scrambling for 2* gems and not finding any luck and hoping i hold in to the ine 5* WR ive had maxed for weeks. My HB situation next year will be okay, but my QB will be sub 70 starter. I have two 3* gems that I recruited this year, but they're both 68.

I really want to know how the rankings formula works? How does a 2 loss Oklahoma team remain #4 and then drop below me, while I get jumped by IBI after he has a bye week. I don't mind being ranked behind IBI, just curious what causes these major reworks of the rankings after certain weeks.

Now you know how I feel when I lose to you twice a season

Now who is this 5* WR I will need to target to see if I can pass you

I'm not sure how the calculations work. I assume it has to do with teams that you played losing, and teams that I played winning, but I haven't really looked into it that much. I eliminated all conference affiliation with the BCS bowls, so I assume that a top 8 or 10 ranking will get just about anyone into a BCS game.

Regardless of how everything is calculated I would like to point out that putting Boise State in a conference of similarly rated teams has resulted in them being 0-10 this season.

Keep your paws elsewhere.

There seems to be two week throughout the year were there are major resets in the rankings. Undefeated teams jump big time at certain points. It could be opponents winning/losing; most of my opponents including Florida, are sucking it up.

I came in late on a 5* WR that Piney's after, but he's a colossal bust. Hell, the frosh WR I recruited at the end of the 2012 season were better and they were 3* guys.

You're doing the same with a 5* guy that I'm recruiting. He's a -6, but that's still a 76 OVR.

Ummmm, I don't remember recruiting any 5* WRs in this dynasty. Heck I just started recruiting my first WR target and he is a 4* just because I am happy with my class and I only have a few real targets left.

Or you mixing up the dynasties again Olaf?

 

[Smooth Olaf]

No, I'm mixing up users. I mixing up you and Iron.

Advanced...looks like fanatic got his 5* receiver.
