I am with Pezell on this one. I like that fact that you can have gem's or bust's but the fact that you see the overall before they actually hit the field is a let down. While it's a good idea how much does finding that players strengths in your system play into his gem or bust status? I have always been able to find gem's and bust's but those are mostly coming out of the ATH pool of recruits. I've turned a 3 star 6'5" ATH into a Heisman Candidate. I have done the same with a 2 star 6'0" ATH the 3 star was a WR and the 2 star was a CB that I had returning punts and kicks in his first two seasons.

I think this should be soley based off of your system, how you run your system, and being able to point out the players strengths while hiding their weakness. If they bring back Individual Training events this feature would be great.

If a recruit arrives on campus with a lower rating than expected, the game will appropriately identify that player as a "bust." Alternatively, prospects who end up with a higher-than-expected rating are labeled "gems."
Not really sure I like that they are labelled as busts or gems before they even play a down. Will busts still turn into stars if they are successful or can gems be slow in progression as they age?

No, I read that there are BIG swings. I read somewhere the swing is as high as 20-22 pts.
I think a gem/bust will be so if there is a -/+ 6 Ovr pts.

Yeah I also saw that in the podcast.

I think the progression is the same, based on the Coaches OVR grade. So, a 70 OVR bust 5 star QB can still become a 90 OVR QB with a good coach

Cool. Good to know.

I've wanted this for years. Scouting players is a huge deal in college sports, and I love the huge point swings a recruit can take. It makes the mode deeper and more interesting than the roulette and blind point-giving. Hopefully, this spruces things up on that front, because the past few years, I've ended up letting the CPU take over my recruiting, as it was a snooze-fest.

Does anyone remember the old EA Sports NCAA Baseball recruiting? Where they had a graph showing where the player is now compared to his peers, and as you got better as a coach, you can see where he could compare in a few years. For instance, you might have a guy who is great starting out as a freshman, but as everyone catches up to him, he'll be a middle-of-the-road type, who will get lost amongst the crowd. Conversely, you might take a flier on a guy who has good peripherals, but doesn't have the measurables yet, and he becomes a stud his junior and senior years. I wish they would do something similar to this with a few tweaks to bring it up to date. I know they have a progression system now, but it's nearly impossible to at least forecast where a player/recruit will end up...even if you give them loads of playing time.

This has the potential to be a fantastic addition, but I want to see how it is done. I am concerned the CPU will "know" the gems and busts, and thus indicate who they are by having the CPU recruit players they should/shouldn't given their respective star ratings.

I.E. FSU, Bama, USC, OU, etc recruits a 1 star QB; or nobody but bottom tier Sun belt schools recruiting a 5 star QB.

If that doesn't happen this will be a welcomed addition.
