HOW TO PREDICT RECRUITING IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL 25

In this video we'll go over how you can read your recruiting board and forecast accurate predictions as to whether you can land a recruit or not, as SOON as you put them on your board! STOP wasting hours on losing ventures. Hopefully, this will help you do that.

We'll look at the comparative influence level combined with the pipeline tier level to be able to make solid predictions and if necessary, cut your losses and redirect those hours to a recruit more likely to sign with you.

EDIT: 09:45 I didn't notice Tenn's 5 Pipeline Tier. This guy is 100% a bail out situation.

Bro you have helped me so much in the recruiting stage. When I was rebuilding Miami I only went for the number one player interest so I got only 2-3 stars. Once I started watching your vids I now knew it didn’t matter if they had no interest in me at the start and I could get 4-5 stars easy! Keep up the great work Fend🔥💪

Great video, love all the recruiting stuff! I have a pretty good dynasty going with Oregon and have CEO unlocked, so my recruiting is pretty easy but here's what i do:

1) Use the search feature and find any 4 star or better players who have Oregon as their 1st choice
2) Offer all of those guys and try to get insta commits (usually can land 4-6 of them instantly)
3) Search for 5 star guys that have Oregon in the top 10 and go after them
4) Throw some bones at other 5 star guys that you just "want", that have no interest (yet) in the program, try to make them see the light haha
5) if any room left over, only try to get 4 star gems

inevitably recruit too many guys every season and end up having to cut 10-15 players each offseason to get to need to be smarter about this

One thing that CAN make a little difference with this if you’re a small school is if you have pretty bad grades at what they care about, which happens pretty often. Those hard sells to guys with silver or bronze pipelines and all Cs and Ds in their grades still are a grind.

On the other hand, I think you can go after and often win a guy like Skaags. Tennessee overpowers you, but if they slack for just a week or two you’ll have em beat and you can probably beat out everybody else around you who is only one pipeline ahead of you. It’s a risk but you can absolute win it a lot.

Watching your videos has really helped my strategies. Currently in my 4th year. In the second half of the season and have recruited 7 5 stars so far. If everything goes as planned I’ll get two more lol.

Recruited 14 5 stars in year 6 of my two man dynasty thanks to all of your videos! Finished the season with a 285.65 recruiting score

Another way to be efficient and save hours when scouting is to look at the playing time grade each recruit gets when you add them to your board. Pair that with offseason training bonuses and you can create a monster team quickly.

Started an online dynasty with a friend of mine as Mississippi State. Was stunned to see I could bag four 5-Stars in year one including three that I had no pipeline influence on. Conference def helped but your tips helped me lock them down too. 💪🏾💪🏾

What sucks is recruiting your ass off spending hours comparing, evaluating and prepping your hour allotment every week to sign back to back #1 classes and having to cut some gems because of the outdated system. Like it made me keep 8 WR so I had to cut a 5 star G and a 4 star corner

This is a great video, so what I'm about to say isn't to pick you apart.

I think this method is great for more middle tier programs. I have a 5-star program and I honestly don't have my method down to a science just yet, but my starting board this season was something like 20 5-stars, 10 4-star gems and only 5 regular 4-stars. I ignored pipeline and went after dawgs. I did NOT give a single scholarship. I sort them from 5-star gem, to 5-star down etc. I started with STH on every 5-star gem and most other 5-stars. After week 0, I saw what interest levels I was for each team and adjusted hours based off those results. When someone seems close to a cutoff (top 8, 5 etc) And I'm towards the bottom, I either add hours to boost or if I already have hours on them, I offer a scholarship to jump a few spots. Obviously, this isn't perfect since I mostly ignored pipeline, but I felt my program ratings help a lot. I'm around week 9 now and only lost out on like 3 5-stars, a couple 4-star gems and 3 of the 5 regular 4-stars. I'm in the lead on almost everyone else and had more than half of them commit already.

When you know you're in the lead on someone you haven't offered yet, above schools that have offered, you're in a great position to win them if you want to. Pipeline is the only thing that could stop you, but you know you have to schedule a visit ASAP if that's the case.

Also, it's nice when you can get out of pipeline guys, because it expands your pipeline over time. As long as you go after out of pipeline guys you stand a chance winning...

I curious if all of your recruiting tips also work well in multiple user dynasties? I am in a 3 user dynasty including myself and a 12 user dynasty including myself and have been struggling and need tips but not sure if all of your videos work with multiple user dynasties?

[wscottwalters]

In general, the CPU will lay off the pedal (to borrow the car analogy) early for most recruits to give you a chance to get almost anyone you chase. Your observations here are great to prioritize who to go after first, and who you can afford to wait on or only throw 10-25 hours at. I’m at the point now when juggling 20-25 recruits at a time is manageable. Nurse as many along until your first round of visits land, and you should be golden from there.

Great video brotha even though I’ve put in a LOt of hours this first month and think I know it all I still watch and boom learned something I didn’t know and now will be even more dominant!!!

[dirkdufflp]

Ngl I always disregarded those tiers. Excited for my next season. Appreciate the tips!!

[chrisrhodes]

Also, losing recruits the week before my visit with them is set and they didn't visit the school yet they ended up signing with is a bit too frequent and annoying af

[TheCircuitJunkie]

I think taking these guys off the board depends on what kind of program you have. At a certain point you only want 4 gems and 5 stars in your program so you keep going on these guys until there is no shot.

[tdrb]

Awesome video! I would’ve liked to see you go all out on those guys and see how right you were in your predictions.

[thomaslantosh]

Excellent breakdown! This video helped me know exactly what i was doing right and wrong!😂 great content, keep it coming and i will definitely support all!

[intelligentfeminist]

Kinda unrelated, but I’ve noticed a few 5 star recruits having no offers almost half way through the season. Idk if anyone has seen that as well. They weren’t busted gems either, one was a gem.

[Beaumont]

Shoutout to Fendler man!!! He’s been on it and every video has been so informative
