re: ncaa 09 recruiting question

I quick call only unless I'm looking for something to pitch on a visit.

The perfect scenario is playing a good rival in weeks 8, 9, 10, or 11, and having all of your recruits at that game. Those weeks are early enough that you don't lose recruits to other teams when they get visits, and late enough that you have the recruits very interested. Blow that team out and you will usually get 6 or 7 recruits that week and a few soft commits.

Doing this will get a minimum of 6 or 7 five stars and up to 14 or 15. Then you can easily find enough 4 stars to fill out the class.

I usually average 10 or 11 five stars and the rest 4 stars. Every once in a while I'll pick up a 3 star when I need it at a position that is hard to fill such as FB, TE, and Center.

The best team to do what I do with is LSU. I've played dynasties with a bunch of different teams and LSU is the easiest to recruit with because one year you have Alabama and Ole Miss at home in weeks 10 and 11 I believe. You can dominate recruiting those years like no other. Then the next year Auburn is like Week 8 and Arkansas is week 12. Usually you won't do as well because week 8 is still a little early to draw a lot of commits.
