Can you describe which school are you playing with and what ranked recruits are you pursuing? As Brooks mentioned could be that you are pursuing unrealistic targets. A good thing to look at is to see no. of offers recruits have. As a small school i usually move away from recruits with more than 3 offers, unless they specifically mention they like my school the most.

Oh, I usually can scout all my targets eventually, but the issue is by the time I have, it might be week 7 or 8 and if I'm trying to decide which of two similarly rated quarterbacks would be a better use of my scholarship offer, it might be too late by then. Like I said, I'm not having any difficulty putting together very good classes for whatever level I'm at, but sometimes I feel I'm just offering a guy because he's a QB and rated 141 rather than the QB rated 148, whereas I think in reality when coaches are making these decisions it's because this kid has a better arm or is more mobile or makes better decisions and those things will fit in better with the way we like to play. I think they generally have that kind of basic outline from watching tape etc WHEN they decide which players to target or go after or offer, whereas the way it is now you're doing that kind of scouting at the same time you're offering and visiting, etc, so by the time you figure out that maybe that 148 QB is a better fit than the 141 QB, you've already invested 70 points in the 141 QB and changing directions would likely mean just getting neither. I just feel like maybe the game could make me think more when I'm making these initial decisions rather than kind of going in blind based purely on recruit number and location. It's not that the way it is now is too difficult--I just think it hurts immersion a bit.
Maybe it's just that I should be spreading out my scouting more initially, like with one or two points per player to get a better idea of that kind of stuff. I don't even really consider this a criticism or anything; I find recruiting generally fairly rewarding and it's not hard. I am just kind of thinking aloud about ways that recruiting might be more immersive and feel a little less like spreadsheet managing, or could at least reward players who dig deeper.
