When to give up on a recruit in College Football 26 Dynasty?

Every recruiting battle in College Football 26 is unique, but sometimes you don’t have the resources to land the recruit you are competing for and need to give up. So, let’s take a look at some situations where this is the right call and help you to know when hours are better spent elsewhere in CFB 26.

Guide on when to give up on recruits in College Football 26

In general, when deciding to pursue a recruit in College Football 26, it is key to ask a few questions about the recruiting battle in question.

1. Do I have the lead?
2. Am I progressing farther than competing schools any given week?
3. Are any visits going to disrupt the battle?
4. Do I need the other hours elsewhere?
5. Is this a player at a much-needed position?

To show what these questions look like in practice, let’s take a look at a recruiting battle from one of my lower-star online dynasties.

Here, in the case of Karl Ellington, we have a tough call to make. If we can stay competitive enough this week, we can potentially force a one-on-one recruiting battle with Tulane. Week 10 has already happened, and we are in the closing weeks of the season. This will be a close call.

So, to evaluate this situation, let’s look back at those 5 questions from earlier:

1. Do I have the lead?
   1. No
2. Am I progressing farther than competing schools any given week?
   1. I am outgaining the leader, but only marginally
3. Are any visits going to disrupt the battle?
   1. No
4. Do I need the other hours elsewhere?
   1. No – it’s end of season so only a handful of recruits left
5. Is this a player at a much-needed position?
   1. Yes

Looking at how these questions were answered, this is definitely a recruit that we would not give up on. We have the resources, a chance to sneak into the lead, and it is a high-level and much-needed position.

So, the next time you are looking through your board and deciding what to do, consider looking at these questions. As the saying goes, know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em!
