I need help with dynasty recruiting

I play a regular offline dynasty. My coach is a level 36, recruiting build, 2x national championship winner at 5 star Florida state program. My issue is I cannot get recruits at all. Even as an undefeated team in week 12, I only have two recruits that have signed so far I cannot get guys to sign no matter what I do. Even when I am in first the entire season, they still end up choosing another school even when my school has better grades than the competition, they still end up choosing another school. I have tried scheduling visits. I have tried not scheduling visits. I’m not sure if this is a glitch in the game or if I’m doing something wrong as the player, but it is taking away from my enjoyment of this game and is making this game frustrating unrealistic, and un enjoyable. I have watched every YouTube video on how to build a recruiting class and none of them work. I still end up with nine  total recruits at the end of the recruiting cycle total. It just does not make sense to me. Can anyone please help?

    Recruiting is definitely more difficult in '26 than '25. In '25 I was able to recruit 17 5-star recruits one season, that was a silly crazy team. What I find helps is do not go after all 35 spots at the start as you need to distribute the points around. I usually offer 25-27 scholarships and in the first few weeks 25-30 points per recruit. I usually tend to stick to top choices or pipeline recruits. The moment I have all 3 green checkmarks, I will do a soft sell and a 10pt. If they are a 5-star, I will use whatever remaining points on them. Once they have their top 3, I switch to Hard sells. In '26 I have started doing visits more often as they sometimes cost less ('25 was a flat 40pts), but I usually use my points with other actions. IN my first 2 seasons, I ended up with 15-17 recruits and filled out my roster with another 15-17 transfers. 

    Even with this method that was very successful in '25, does not work out as well in '26. I just finished my 2nd season and finally was in the top 5 recruiting class. Hopefully this new season I can get another top 5 to open Master Recruiter to go with Program Builder and CEO that I am doing a build of. Maybe recruiting will become more easy with the Master Recruiter unlocked.

    I think your problem is that you are at Florida State, see if you were in the SEC you may be able to get real recruits.  Just kidding man, I've not played 26 yet but in 25 I did pretty well filling out my roster with 3 star recruits that nobody wanted.  I'd go after them mid season when my initial list had withered down.  I had some extra points and would scour the forgotten guys and find the gems and pick them up.  You probably do that, but just a suggestion.
