Hey, I posted this on Reddit, but I'll go ahead and put it here, too.
"After your first game of the season, the following week's recruiting shouldn't be status quo.
Instead, take a moment to search the list of recruits by ranking or star rating. Pay attention to which ones have zero scholarship offers. You'll sometimes find five-star recruits that nobody is in on. At a minimum, you'll find more than enough four-star recruits to fill your entire board.
You may need to reconfigure your recruiting hours a bit to make it all work, but it's an easy hack to get a top five recruiting class. You can keep cycling through the list by maxing out the best-unrecruited players and getting them in for visits at the first possible juncture. Once they sign, you'll get the points back to do it again with the next batch of unrecruited studs.
If things break right, you'll have 30+ recruits in the bag by the time transfer season rolls around. At that point, you can just pick the absolute best recruits to fill out your roster."
