@Sgoforth5 I encounter this bug maybe once or twice a cycle, once I see it I just remove the prospect from my board and forget he existed. Move on to the next guy and don’t waste the points. I’ve signed 3 straight T3 classes with USF, just add top 10-15 players and fully scout immediately. Remove busts if you want but I’ve signed 4* busts with higher OVR than 5*s. For the top 10-15 priority guys I assign full points until I start to pull away or have multiple players at one position where I wouldn’t be too hurt to lose one. Send pitches, visits as soon as possible. More often than not you can find the right hard sell with just two green checks present. Once these guys start to commit, you’ll have those points come back in future weeks. Use that to go after depth and any 3/4* that have no offers, you can usually steal these guys pretty easy. Before you know it you’ll look and have 25-30 guys signed easy on early signing day, before adding best available from the portal which usually just end up being depth (depends on class, i’ve picked up FR transfers that have been 3 year starters) if your team is 85+ OVR.
Major points:
Good hard sell and good visit are worth at least 1.5/2x a Send The House.
Don’t waste your time with blocking TE archetypes. They end up being 90 OVR with 45 CTH and drop everything.
Physical WR, Power RB with 90+ SPD are OP. OL/DL positions are easily interchangeable.
Don’t waste your time with DBs who have playing style deal breakers, you’ll never get enough INTs to keep them happy.
Everything is about the offers, a scholarship offer and a few hours assigned will get you fast signings if there is no interest from other teams.
Start with a decent team in a decent conference to help you learn how all of this works without getting frustrated at missing out on talent to prestigious schools. In my USF save I lost a lot of talent to UF and Miami early on, now I own FL.
