Once you win the mac you should be able to recruit 5 stars from the Midwest states and all restrictions gone when you make the college football playoffs. Or when you make it to a top conference.

Justice for Dante Moss. Dude is incredible and he rarely gets the ball.

[@danferrantino8165]

Really thought Dante moss was going to develop more by his senior year. Dude was so clutch as a freshman. Pat smith is going to win a heisman his senior season. Dudes legit.

[@Bert-jz2jb]

I think finishing the year in the top 25 should qualify you to add a specific amount of recruits from non pipeline states so you could choose like 3 targets to focus on only.

[@rhec479]

I agree maybe not 5 stars but be allowed like 3 4 stars but they still ahould have to be from the Midwest

[@fate8718]

Finishing ranked would get you to open up realistically damn near the whole country So if you can end up ranked itll give you no restrictions on 4 stars and maybe get a few restrictions on 5

When it comes to future OOC games, id recommend playing a non-Michigan or MSU B10 school each year, and rotate between MSU, Michigan, and ND for the other games, in addition to tune-ups and a non-Big 10/ND school

[@DMoneyDesigns]

Its a great series thus far. I do have a couple of ideas for scheduling for next season. I know Iowa likes to bring in MAC schools for non-conference games that aren't against Iowa State, so maybe doing that could add variety. A few other viable options could be Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, or Purdue for the Big Ten, since they are the closest schools to GRU. You could even throw in Louisville, Cincinnati, WVU, Pitt, or Kentucky as a Power 5 Non-Conference Matchup. Looking at G5's, there are plenty of viable options for potential opponents. Marshall, Middle Tennessee, and Memphis may be a good place to start for their close proximity to GRU. I know I did type out a handful, but I think at least one of these Power 5 and G5 schools would be interesting match ups to put the Season 6 roster to the test. Thanks for reading and keep up the great work!

[@Unknowntedds]

robert davis became black ove rthe off season is one of the funniest things ive heard all day. also you should make the tackling slideers go up because i dont like how many tackles gru misses ❤

I feel like the fact that you’ve been ranked now in the top 25 that should allow you to go after other recruits outside of the pipeline states. Because that signals to national recruits that you’re a player and that they should seriously consider you.

[@frankschipani]

Go in max protection (Keep the TE and HB in to block) when you go against a blitz heavy team like Central Michigan.

[@jokabananacream]

Ok for your offense play style, try a pistol offense. My only worry is your lineman there. There's surprisingly decent pass plays and the runs should get a little extra blocking. Plus you may be able to get more experience with developing running backs/ full backs. For your defense I'm thinking a 5-2. It should help a little more with your pressure and hopefully will force more tackle for losses. These are just what I'm noticing but I'm going off of when I use to play years ago lol hopefully there's some good to these tips and I look forward to the next video.

[@codyeble0713]

you mentioned the comments a lot in this video, don’t worry so much about them. We obviously appreciate that you read our comments and give them consideration, but the entire point of this GRU dynasty is for you to be you with your new team. If you wanna go for it on 4th from your own 38, do it. If you don’t want to change the tackling sliders because they’re realistic for a 75 overall team, don’t change them. Be yourself, we’re just happy to be along for the ride :)

[@williammcalpine2718]

I’m loving these videos I think you should be allowed to open up recruiting with one of these conditions: 1. You win the MAC championship 2. You make the playoffs Or You can recruit 5 stars wherever there is a MAC school Or You can only get 1-2 four and five stars out of the region but three and lower is fair game.

[@cjm9816]

Me: Thomas Clemens is having a great year, it’ll be nice to see him develop James: so yeah he’s a redshirt senior I just never showed, played, or mentioned him until now

[@Win4Cheesily]

Taking points is crucial. IF you kick that first field goal against ND then you kill some of their momentum. But a TOD is a massive momentum boost for the home team in the Redzone. Points when points are possible is always the best option. Anything you can do to silence the home crowd. Love the content man!

[@jake5773]

The best thing about having so few recruiting needs is knowing you have a lot of returning players!

[@ximximximiamxim]

I think for an out of conference game you should schedule a big 12 or big 10 game. Iowa or Cincinnati could prove tough for GCU.

[@somehick6728]

I love this series so much thanks for getting me through the holiday season!

[@the_captain_pineapple4207]

When it comes to adding different out of conference teams to the schedule, you should add 1 pacific coast team. For example: ASU, UofA, Cali or Washington, and you should add like Boston College, Clemson Georgia Tech. Or maybe throw in like Houston or UTSA

[@NilesAbston]

best season yet. Pat Smith is the GRU messiah. Next year you gotta open the playbook up and let it fly. spread option sets to get guys like Dante Moss, Shelby, and that new freshman WR with 98 speed the ball in space. Also you gotta bring Jordan Williams back to HB. He's 200 pounds with 95 speed and running the ball attributes are way better than his defensive attributes. He had 79 man coverage. You've got so many good SS that could play that 3rd corner because Jordan Williams needs to be running the option with Pat Smith and probably having at least 15-20 carries a game. His kick return was a 90 so it can be him and Hicks returning kicks

[@georgelangston3805]

This is getting really fun loving this so far ❤ im happy you're posting these games with the Rapids

[@wasthataspongebobreference533]

I think leaning just a little into the “Hulu Documentary” angle could be fun for the out-of-conference games. Miami, UNLV, Temple, Pitt, and USF all play in NFL stadiums so that could be fun for the production value if you think of it as an RPG. Maybe the worst team FBS team from the previous year kind of like how Last Chance U had a segment for the worst team in community college as the “real Last Chance U”. Andrew Luck being the HC is a forgotten part of the series. Maybe play Stanford, a Texas school or two since he played HS there, or Maryland/ a Washington DC area school since he was born there. And of course, Indiana since I’m sure many Colts fans still remember the good ol’ days with him

[@reginaldryder5210]

It’s the amount of beast mode type of runs that makes an argument for changing the tackling slider. Don’t have to change it by much but you don’t see these kind of runs irl when a top 5 d1 school plays fcs

-I agree with the playbook change, passing is more fun to watch tbh -I’d recommend switching up the schedule so it’s not always the same out of conference schools -I wouldn’t do the HB/CB thing, I’d just run a Hartman/Hicks duo this year and focus on passing Great stuff man, love watching this
