My first season I was competitive; second season I won the conference but lost the bowl game. After the first season, I dropped most of the crappiest guys on the roster, hoping that recruits would see a higher chance to play and be more willing to sign during the second recruiting season. That didn't happen! I only have 2 DEs on my roster (one of them is terrible), but throughout this second recruiting season I had ZERO DEs interested in playing for me. I think the highest interest I had from a DE was a 4 or 5, and that was after recruiting them to the max each week and offering early. I even upgraded my DC just before recruiting (hes now green for scout DL and yellow for developing DL). So NOTHING I did made any difference for recruiting at that position. What does it take?</p><p> </p><p> I also noted that getting the pitch right for a player with low interest makes absolutely no difference. With this team I usually only have interest from guys ranked 1500+. But to try to improve my squad I went heavily after guys in the 1100-1500 range. Some of those guys had no "others" interested in them even in week 17, and I had recruited them to the max for at least 7 weeks, had early scholarships on them, and got the correct pitch during the first 2 or 3 weeks. Still they had no interest (5 or below). I guess they'd prefer to work at McDonalds than play football for a team like mine, even though I won my division and went to a bowl game, and can offer them a starting position.</p><p> </p><p> What am I missing?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> In all my time playing the game, I have never gotten a player that didn't have at least a "7" interest. I've found it's a waste of time to go after anyone lower then that.</p><p> </p><p> Troy is a low prestige school anyway. It's gonna take longer to build up a reputation. Winning your conference is a good start, but you've got to sustain that success to start getting some three star prospects. Two star players are about what you're gonna get at the start of your dynasty.</p>
