Haven't had that happened. It would usually take me at least 4-5 weeks to get him to commit to Arizona. Maybe he really wanted to go to CAL and not worry about getting any offers from any college.

I had it happen with Notre Dame once. 5 Star DT.

I've had it happen with Oregon a few times, but usually 3 star guys.

Re: WOWWWW!!! Has this ever happened to anyone?

Well in my Oregon dynasty it happened three times. 2 were 4 star recruits and one was a 3 star recruit. They committed right from the very first call.

He's probably telling the truth, since he said he created him.

Re: WOWWWW!!! Has this ever happened to anyone?

I've had it happen with my USC, SDSU, and Army dynasties with 5 star, 4, star, 3 star, 2 star, and 1 star prospects. It's very common, it just depends on the prospect. It makes it more realistic. Hell, the season hasn't started and a handful of teams are approaching 15-20 recruits. That will probably never happen in the game but there's always about 10-15 players in the "Russell Top 100" who commit durin gthe first week. It was really nice when I got a 5 star RB with 96 speed to commit to Army during my first season with them. Anyone who wants to build a team from scratch should try Army. 1.They have everything recruits are looking for. 2.They are the only 1 Star program with National Championships. 3.They have bad ass colors with a bad ass nickname, who doesn't like black and gold and "Black Knights" as a nickname? 4.you're using the US Military Academy at West Point..... 5.The best part, you have unlimited freedom when customizing your schedule. Since they are Independent you have no Conference games that are set in stone. For example, my first season I opened with Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, USC, Florida, and LSU before playing Texas, West Virginia, Tennessee, Navy, Michigan, and Notre Dame. I started the season at #116 out of 120 and was in the top 15 halfway through the season.

I personally don't have any bias for or against Army but if you want to build a team from scratch, they are your best option. Or, you can go with my Aztecs and play in an NFL Stadium every week in the most loaded recruiting region in the country.
