Best recruit you've gotten in the NCAA series?

I love reading about the crazy athletic or seemingly supernatural recruits you can snag sometimes in NCAA.
My personal favorite that I've gotten is a recruit in NCAA 14 by the name of Alex McKinney (I think) in an LSU dynasty. He was only about 5'11", 190 lbs, but was a top 10 ATH. I recruited him hard throughout the year and he committed on NSD. I went through his attributes, and found he was a decent thrower with excellent speed for a freshman (92?). I hadn't used him until about midseason, when my starting running back got hurt. My other 2 backs weren't having great games at all, so I decided to say "frick it" and threw him in the game at tailback. First run of his career, he breaks 6 tackles and scampers for a 78 yard touchdown. He finished the day with about 5 rushes for over 200+ yards (on Heisman with sliders). Needless to say, he dominated at QB for the next couple of years, winning a Heisman and bringing me to two National Championship wins.

Got a quarterback one time when I was at Tennessee named Willie Washington. Had 92 overall rating coming in with 96 arm power and 87 accuracy. Needless to say, I ran an air raid offense for four years while he was there

I got back to back #1 overall QBs in the country in my NC State dynasty. The first one is a junior with a 99 overall rating and drops 60 yard bombs on my 5 star WRs all day like it's nothing.

Had a 6'10" WR once with 90 speed, 90+ jump, and 85ish catch ratings. It was fun sending him deep with man coverage and no safety over top.

Funnest/most used recruit was a 6'7 TE with 88 speed and outstanding hands. He was seriously uncoverable and I would always have an open side of the field..if the defense was in man I would send him in motion 1 on 1 with a LB and throw it to him.
Best recruit though was a 5'7 scat back with 97 speed in an online dynasty a few years back. He could catch..so Screens and running him off tackle was very productive to say the least..

Everyday day I pray there is another ncaa game in the future for next gen. Madden just doesn't do it for me.

WR named Blake Harvey in NCAA 11. 6'7 and had 99 speed/catching/jumping his senior year
Wasn't even fair in my online dynasty

I got a RB one time who was so goddamn fast. He would house almost every other kick or punt return and was deadly on sweeps and outside runs. Dude would have 5-6 various TDS almost every game.

I can't wait for another one. Although it will probably never happen in this sue happy day and age we live in because some guy wanted 500$

We had an online dynasty that had about 8 of us in it. We all started as either OC or DC at 1 star schools. I think I went from two years at Western Michigan then to HC at Indianna. After one year there i jumped to HC at Auburn. That's when recruiting got nasty.
I went with pure speed everywhere. My corners/safeties we all man coverage guys with 95-99 speed and likewise man coverage then I would run straight man and blitz.
But my offense was amazing. I grabbed an athlete that I think was an 89 or 92 as a freshman by his junior year he was a 99 and had low 90s speed and 90+ throw power. Along with that I had RBs and WRs that were all speed as well.
When we finally stopped playing I think I had won 3 of 4 Nattys and my current recruiting class had 12 5 stars hard committed while the closest user had 4.

NCAA 2007 I got the number 1 OLB who ran a 4.3 40.

I snagged an insane JUCO Athlete early in one of my dynasties where I start as a 1* school OC and (hopefully) finish as a 6* school HC with back-to-back NCs.
After my first year at South Alabama, I needed an instant impact at QB and stumbled upon a largely unrecruited guy who was a 97 in speed and mid-80s in passing. He was unstoppable at running my custom spread triple option playbook.
Needless to say, he destroyed the Sun Belt back-to-back seasons and came in 2nd in Heisman voting as a senior, when I took the HC job and went undefeated but was shut out of the NC game.
