I always call myself instead of using the quick call. You never know what you get with a quick call and it screws up alot. If you have the recruits 2 very highs and elite open you just keep hitting those everyweek where the computer will only hit one and will continue to uncover the lows and avg pitches.

I took the time to call on the recruits that I felt I had a good shot at. The ones that were rated lower and were locks I would quick call just to keep their interest.

I quick call the first week and some the second week. After that, I manually call.
However, if it is a guy that I'm definitely getting, I'll quick call 5 minutes every week. For example, a DE that has 1 scholarship offer and it's yours.

Do this when you start next season
1. choose a specific game to send recruits to
I ususaly change my schedule and add ranked teams in unranked spots.
2. Choose a maximum 0f 15 players
3. after choosing recruits Manualy call only the ones whom have LSU in their top 5. when you call ask for soft information not hard it appears quicker some
times. Do not offer a scholarship until you have one very High or 2 and most
3. Quick call the rest for 30 minutes apeice this includes scholarship talk
4.evey week after quick call all players that do not show that they are ready for a visit. If they are ready for a visit set one up and spend no more than 30 minutes talking.
5. Give priority players one full hour
6. Rotate based on whether they gain interest are lose interest
7. The game against a ranked team is the one you send them to.
I do this so well that I do not offer 4 stars

All you have to do is schedule visits when you play a rival(Auburn, Ole Miss, Tulane). If you blow them out, you will get great results. I usually sign 7 to 12 5 stars and about 10 4 stars.

I actually offer everyone that first week that I really want...that will usually bring you into the top 3 or so even if you started at like 8
also, dont schedule the visits too early as other teams can jump you later in the season

Manually calling doesn't really offer much benefit, and it's certainly not worth the time.
I quick ONLY, except when you have to set up visits of course.
And I still can land all the top recruits just like those who manually call.

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.
