Recruiting Strategies: Looking for Advice
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2020 7:11 am
I'm still somewhat new to the game and I've read the game guide on the recruiting process, so I have a general idea about how it works... but I was wondering if anyone would care to share their specific strategies when recruiting players?
For instance, where do you even begin w/ targeting players initially? From what I can tell, there's really no way to see beforehand if recruits are even remotely interested in your school, so you gotta go in blind when adding players to your list. I'm playing as UNC (62 prestige) so my recruit rank ceiling is around 500 (3 Stars) according to the email I got at the start of the season. I'm not expecting to get a lot of big-name recruits, but I would like to at least try and target a few 4-star & 5-star guys.
So what are your deciding factors in determining which prospects to go after? In other words, if I'm looking to go after at least one 5-star prospect, what can I do to stop myself from adding them all to my list? Or should I add them all to my list?
When you're done filling out your list, how do you go about allocating points?
I'm just looking for some strategies I could try out and build off of to make my own.
