Q & A
What is the main topic of the video?
-The main topic of the video is to determine if scouting is worth it in college football 25 Dynasty mode.
How many recruits did the video creator sample for the analysis?
-The video creator sampled 50 recruits from each category of one through five-star players.
What does a 'bust five-star' mean in the context of the video?
-A 'bust five-star' refers to a player who is a four-star, indicating a less than ideal outcome for a five-star recruit.
Why does the creator suggest not spending time scouting five-star players?
-The creator suggests not scouting five-star players because the range of outcomes is a four or five-star, which are both desirable, making the scouting effort inefficient.
How many points are required to scout each player and what is the creator's opinion on it?
-It takes 50 points to scout each player, and the creator considers this a significant time investment that is often wasted.
What percentage of five-star recruits were 'normal' and 'busts' in one of the creator's samples?
-In one of the samples, 75% were 'normal' and 25% were 'busts'.
What is the difference in the creator's approach to recruiting four-star vs. three-star players?
-The creator prioritizes recruiting four-star players without scouting unless a battle occurs, while for three-star players, they scout to understand the range of outcomes before investing time.
What is the creator's strategy when a recruiting battle occurs for a four-star player?
-The creator scouts to determine if it's worth investing significant resources and may back off if it's not a 'need' player or if the cost is too high.
Why does the creator believe scouting three-star players is worth the investment?
-The creator believes scouting three-star players is worth it due to the large range of outcomes, from a two-star to a four-star player.
What does the creator suggest for one and two-star recruits in terms of scouting?
-The creator suggests not spending any time scouting one and two-star players, as the return on investment of scouting hours is not worth it for lower-tier schools with limited resources.
What is the final recommendation for five-star recruits in terms of scouting?
-The final recommendation is not to spend any recruiting hours scouting five-star recruits, as the outcome of a four or five-star is equally beneficial.
Outlines
🏈 Scouting Efficiency in College Football 25 Dynasty Mode
This paragraph discusses the efficiency of scouting in college football's Dynasty mode, focusing on the value of scouting five-star recruits. The speaker shares a sample analysis of 50 recruits across one to five-star categories, noting that a bust for a five-star is considered a four-star, thus questioning the necessity of scouting five-stars at all. The analysis suggests that the time and points spent on scouting five-stars might be wasted, as the outcome is either a four or five-star, which are both desirable. The speaker also highlights the variability in results across different samples, indicating that the percentages of normal, gem, and bust outcomes are not consistent but provide an approximation of what to expect.
📊 Strategic Scouting for Different Star Levels
The second paragraph delves into the strategic approach to scouting for different star levels in college football. The speaker emphasizes not scouting five-star recruits due to the minimal difference between a four and five-star outcome. For four-star recruits, the speaker suggests an initial focus on recruiting without scouting until a battle ensues, at which point scouting is used to determine investment. For three-star recruits, the speaker always scouts due to the significant variability and potential outcomes, which can range from a two-star to a four-star player. The speaker concludes that one and two-star scouting is not worthwhile, especially for schools with limited resources, and encourages viewers to like and subscribe for more content aimed at providing a statistical edge in the game.

Highlights
The video explores the value of scouting in College Football 25 Dynasty mode.
The speaker sampled 50 recruits across different star ratings to analyze bust, normal, and gem outcomes.
A bust for a five-star recruit generally means the player will turn out as a four-star, making it less crucial to scout them.
The speaker suggests that scouting five-star recruits might be a waste of time and resources.
There is variability in the results from different samples, indicating that outcomes can change year to year.
For four-star recruits, the speaker observed 50% as normal, 22% as gems, and 28% as busts in their sample.
Scouting four-star recruits is recommended if a recruiting battle emerges to determine how much to invest.
Three-star recruits show a wide range of outcomes, making scouting essential to avoid busts.
The speaker found that 50% of three-star recruits in their sample were normal, 25% were busts, and 25% were gems.
The variability in three-star recruits makes scouting them worthwhile to avoid wasting time and resources.
For one and two-star recruits, the outcomes were consistent with their ratings, making scouting less necessary.
Lower-tier schools with fewer recruiting hours should avoid scouting one and two-star players.
The speaker recommends prioritizing the recruitment of four-star players at the beginning.
Scouting should be reserved for instances where recruiting battles occur, allowing for informed decision-making.
The video offers statistical insights to help players gain an edge in College Football 25 Dynasty mode.
Transcripts
in this video we're going to dive into
whether or not scouting is worth it in
college football 25 Dynasty
mode uh to get the graphs that you're
seeing here I took a sample of 50 uh
recruits from uh F you know one through
five star players in each category I
sampled them and I marked whether they
were a bus normal or a
gem um in this first uh section here in
the F star one thing to note is if I
understand the mechanics correctly a a
bust festar would mean it's a four star
so your range of outcomes for a five
star is it's a four or a five star in
which case I'm assuming you would want
them on your team either way so why
spend any time ever recruiting a
five-star uh particularly you know once
you're um you know lower level in terms
of your recruiting and it takes five uh
scouting uh for 10 points each or 50
points to scout each player that's a ton
of time in my opinion wasted so if you
just stop scouting five stars and you'll
be a lot more efficient with your
money I do want to point out that these
are just samples I've taken multiple
samples across multiple dynasties and
each time honestly the results were
quite different for example example in
the five-star category I had one sample
that was 75% normal no gems 25% busts so
these numbers may not be constant from
year to year but they are an attempt to
give a rough approximation for what we
might
expect and then you have your four
stars uh in this sample of 50 I got uh
50% % were four stars uh 22% were gems
and 28% were Buss there is some
Randomness because this is just a sample
so maybe we'll say it's 50% and then 25%
of each again for a fourstar your range
of outcomes is a three or four star now
you would want most likely a three or a
four star on your team but the amount of
resources you're willing to spend to
recr recruit that player is vastly
different for a four or a three star so
what I've been doing is I just dive
straight into recruiting the fourstar
and a lot of the times I just jump ahead
and I can sign
them uh you know before any real
recruiting uh battle happens and so for
each time that that happens I save
somewhere between 20 and 50 uh
recruiting hours
however if there is a recruiting battle
that happens uh with a player I then
have to decide if it's worth
it if it's a luxury
player um I may or may not pursue it but
I will
um do the scouting to determine if um
it's worth spending that significant
amount of money if it's not I'll back
off and I'll uh you know let the other
uh team win the recruiting battle it's
not work the money if it's a need I'll
probably put forth some effort um but
that effort will be proportional to
whether or not it's a three star or a
fourstar the three star I think is the
most interesting uh in this sample I got
similar distribution as the fourstar I
got 50% we normal uh let's say about 25%
were boss 25% were Champs one way to
think about this is
there's a 75% chance in this sample that
I didn't get a
bust another way to think about it is
there's a 50% chance that it's not a
three star you know it's either a bus or
a gem so and given that if we assume
that a bus three star is a two star and
a gem three star is a four star the
range of outcomes for recruiting three
stars is huge recruiting a two star
versus a fourstar are dramatically
different circumstances so I do think
it's worth it to uh invest in scouting
three stars to know upfront what you're
getting yourself into before you spend
weeks and weeks and weeks of time trying
to
recruit um interestingly in my
um samples of two and one Stars uh
almost always was it a two or one star
um so to me if you're a lower tier
school and you don't have a lot of
recruiting hours available then why
waste any time recruiting if 95% of the
time it's going to be what you think it
is uh you know the the return on
investment of those hours just isn't
worth it to recap five stars I don't see
the point in ever spending any uh
recruiting hour scouting them because a
four or five doesn't matter you're good
to go four stars I prioritize at the
beginning uh recruiting them and only if
a recruiting battle happens do I start
scouting to determine how much I want to
invest in that player and whether or not
to get out relative to how much other
teams are uh spending uh for three stars
I will pretty much always recruit
because the range of outcomes is so
large and uh there's so much variability
that it's worth knowing what you're
investing in because investing in a gem
versus a a bust at the three star level
are very different players and then at
the one and two star uh level they uh in
the samples I took they were very
consistent and the schools that would be
recruiting those do not have a lot of
resources so I would not spend any time
scouting one or two star players um if

and subscribe um and because I'm going
to have more content like this that'll
try and give you a statistical Edge when
playing college football 25 see you in
