It can still pay off, but only if you get it early enough. I've gotten it far too often on a recruit that I'm some 700 points behind on.

That's 'cause every week you get one of four things:
1. x2 on 3 players on your board
2. Unlocked pitches on 2 or 3 players on your board
3. Pink Diamond on a 4* or greater recruit
4. One player that you're #1 on and have offered a scholarship to will commit

You can guarantee a pink diamond by not having anyone on your board, and you can practically guarantee it by having less than 3 on your board. Not that it would be necessarily worth it in that case.

If I've gone through enough players on my board (in a given week) that I'm reasonably sure I won't get x2 or Unlock, then I'll go to All Players ... sort on Status (that way I'll get the "blank" players first rather than the committed or interested players) ... then I go down to the last 4th star ... hit to get "More Info", then hold up on the right stick to scroll through. Eventually I'll see a pink diamond flash by, and I'll look at the player.
