Help with recruiting on NCAA 14

I've played these games for years and never had any problems with recruiting a top 5-10 ranked class every year except on this one
I just finished my second season on Dynasty after two perfect seasons with Tenn and only pulled in the 54th ranked class and it wouldn't have been that good except the computer signed a bunch of low ranked guys right at signing day
I was in the lead for about 7 high ranked guys going into signing day and lost all but one of them
Are there some tricks or hints the board can give me on how to do better? I'm using pretty much the same strategy I've always used, picking out 10-12 guys then giving them the max pooints allowed throughout the season then at the end when they give you 15,000 I just divided them up
TIA, this is pretty annoying

Look for the guys with the green dots. If you see you aren't gaining ground after a couple of weeks it's time to let them go. look for guys in your pipeline. Put the max amount on guys you really like first and and spread the other amounts out. Don't just go after 5 stars and 4 stars. There are lots of Gems in the 3 star guys as well. I used to recruit between 15-20 guys and scout tons.
I offered the scholarships early and then put my visits on a decent team not a rival. When you have a player visit, pay attention to what he wants you to do. Some want you to pass for 300yards and some want a 100 yds rushing or receiving. That really plays a part in getting those guys. It gives you points needed for separation from other teams.
At the end of the recruiting period most CPU teams will not put more than 5500 points on a particular player. So I usually split my points up between 2 to 3 players unless I was in the lead by a lot and then I would just put a couple of thousand on them.

I recruit guys that give me the most bonus points first because they are easier to sign when starting out.
Around week 2 or 3, I go back and add guys who have a very low lock % and no offers. You can find some really good JUCO sophomores during the latter weeks also. Using this method, I was able to sign a few 5 and 4* players while playing as UTSA.
Week 8ish, I look for guys who are at 73% locked...for some reason they are not being recruited and have no scholarship offers.
Seldom do I go after an out of state recruit with the home state in their top 3.
There is away to cheat in recruiting by turning the autosave off, but it's time consuming and takes away from the recruiting fun.

Raise the difficulty

Make sure you use your coach xp to level up recruiting. I hate recruiting in these games, but the CPU does a shitty job, and my dumb arse just figured out you can use XP to raise recruiting.

I've gotten to the point where I don't really like recruiting all that much. Used to love it back on the PS2 though.
What I typically do is put 25-30 guys on my list during the preseason, order them based on my preference, and then let the computer handle the inseason stuff. The key here, though, is the turn off the option for the computer to be able to adjust your recruiting board. Leave the other auto-recruit options turned on.
Once I fill my open spots I'll remove other guys in those positions from my board, as I don't really like to cut anyone. I guess if I ran my program like Nick Saban I could run off upperclassmen who suck in favor of the top recruits, but that's no fun.
