Here are some key College Football 25 recruiting tips for your dynasty.

College Football 25 dynasty mode gives players full control over the recruiting process, but sometimes you need some tips to know exactly what to do with those precious recruiting hours. Lucky for you, we have a guide on when you should Send the House versus using a Hard Sell pitch, making recruiting feel like a lot less of a guessing game.

College Football 25 Recruiting Tips: Hard Sell or Send the House?

When you are in the later stages of recruiting a player and have made their top five in College Football 25 Dynasty mode, you are faced with a choice of how to spend your hours. Do you continue to use Send the House for 50 hours, or do you swap to the Hard Sell pitch for 40 hours?

The easiest way to find out the answer to this question is by looking at the interests of your recruit and checking what grades you have for their interests. If you have around a C+ or B average on these grades, we would recommend swapping from Send the House to Hard Sell pitch and DM player, for a total of 50 hours.

This theory was tested and verified by CFB 25 content creator Max Plays CFB. He tested the two approaches against one another and showed the results in a short video. I have done a similar strategy and have found pitching to be very effective, but only with schools like Florida that will have very high grades on average. With a 1-star school, you may be sending the house far more often.

So, the next time you go to recruit a player in College Football 25, be sure to check your team grades before you choose to Hard Sell or Send the House. Also, don't forget that you can use the Sway feature early on in recruiting to get checkboxes on more of what your school is good.
