I still really don't have much feel for this team, but I think they have massive potential, and I also believe they are the tallest team in league 4 (with a 7'1 bPG). Additionally, Don Kiplinger and Otto Walser have the potential to be two of the best players I've ever coached.

Terre Haute 17-7

Well considering my whole team relies on one player its hard to guage how well I'll do. I got shafted in recruiting and didn't land a PG or another scorer, so this year I feel that I will probably end up going 10-14.

San Jose Perdadores 16-8

I may have to change my team name! I was real worried about my recruits, but it looks like I got 2 pretty solid guards. I dont have any glaring needs, other than defense, but its offense that wins championships, right? Not starting any seniors, so I may be around for a bit. Clifford Seaman is the leader of this team, headed into his junior year, he's on the recruiting staff now helping to find his replacement.

18-6 for the Gainesville DoggyDoggs.

We have won the 3 games we have played (2 ex., 1 scrimmage) by an average 26.6 PPG, but I think it's a farce.

The Atlanta Titanium Screws, in conf 9, are coming off a 6-18 season, preceeded by a 2-22, so there is only one direction to go, and thats up!

OK, that being said, exhib1 was a 80-79 win and exhib2 was a 85-45 loss. I have no idea what this team can do. I think is has potential, but overall is very small.

Lets go conservative (yet optimistic) and shoot for a 9-15 season (pretty pathetic, eh).

Blown out both teams I have played. Also think its a farce. I'll say 17-7 again. Some leading seniors and rising sophs. My last possible hurrah unless I get some damn players!

I thought defense won championships?

you cant win if you score 0 pts!!!! And the idea is to outscore the opponent. Defense is over-rated, especially when your team has one "Good" defender :)

I've said this before in the other thread but i'm a newbie and all excited so i'll say it again here - the Independence Spyce are horrible: small, dumb, can't shoot, can't defend, can't board, power ranking of 256 last year, 0 wins last year, 4 wins the last three years, a starting shhoting guard who is 5'10" and goes by the name Arlo, nuff said

i'm guaranteeing 2 wins and predicting a 3-21 season

the season is a write-off so i'll sit 2 seniors to see what the kids have

Carson City Skylarks 12-12

Coming off 2 consecutive 8-16 seasons, the Skylarks are depending on a good recruiting class to improve their team. Im still a new coach, so Im bound to cost us a game or 2. Shooting for .500 works for me.

And I know Freshman usually let you down, but I have very high hopes for Janson Knapp. Could be a great player.

I'm hoping to reach double digit wins for the first time, so I'll predict 10-14 for Camden.

Well, nailed my record last season, but didn't make the NTT. At least recruiting went well, as we ranked #8 in one publication and gathered a +13 class.

The freshmen will take a while to break in, but I'm in a weak division and don't play any great OOC teams other than Long Beach, so I'll say we go 17-7 and just miss the NTT.

BTW, Spyce, welcome to conference 18. I'm Paducah, and as bad as Independence was last year, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Best of luck to you this season.

Reno Spartans 14 - 10

This is a conservative guess, but I expect nothing less. Based on talent I think I'm the 2nd or 3rd best team in Conference 27. However my team is very inexperienced, and that could come back to haunt me.

I have four definite starters. 1 Junior, 1 Sophmore, and 2 Freshman. Look out next season, if Reno doesn't make the NTT next year, I'll probably fire myself.

Savannah Rabid Tigers 14-10

I'm going to go out on a limb and be optimistic this year. We improved to 12-12 last year after a disappointing 9-15 my first season. The team is still young, starting 2 juniors, 2 sophs, and freshman PF Javier Fain who has looked sharp in the exibition games. Team defense and has improved dramatically and we will be looking to run more man-to-man and pick up the tempo a bit. We are shooting for 2nd or 3rd in the conference behind a tough Evansville team and a somewhat depleted Athens.

Finished preseason 3-0. But still, Im sticking with my 12-12 record, and Im still sticking with all my Janson Knapp talk.

Providence Saboteurs 19-5

I predicted the same last year and we ended 17-7. This year my OOC schedule looks easier and my conf shouldn't be as tough. I have no clue who is going to start for me as I've tried 3 different starting lineups and each one has produced mixed results.

Judging by 3 games and ratings the recruits in conf 2 are crappy. Chances are we will max no more than 2 guys in conf so recruiting should be fun.
