TH finally loses, and in grand style. We blew several huge leads, and gave up 19 boards to wunderkind Brock Soeder, who Ames got out of conference from conference 1. Talk about pulling a recruit out of your ass. But is a stud, so I'll just have to stick it to him.
We lost by 10 points, but only because they scored the last 8 when we started fouling. The Todd MacCullough Army will return! |

Sorry I've been shady gentlemen, busy with fantasy drafts. My team stil sucks in league 4 I have no bench, but my starters are great, all young too except the Sr PG who i can't wait to get rid of. Next year will be my first year will all players I recruited, so far I've been stuck with 3 straight crap years of recruits. My last 2 recruiting years have been great, 2 straight Conf 10 Rookie of the years'. Hopefully I get a decent class this year and can maybe contend next year. I'm looking to finish 11-13 which is below my expectations, but I guess benchs mean a little more then i thought.

Good luck to Providence tonight.
If anyone is looking for a League 4 team check out Detroit in Conference 17, my conference. Pretty sure they are now computer coached and they seem to have a fine nucleus.

It comes down to tonight for Camden, too. Win, and we nail my 10-14 prediction. Although we could have reached it a lot sooner, but we've lost our last 3 games.

I'm shocked!
I was sure I was getting at least 2 walkons.
I got one max - Braxton Morton, Seaman, Jr. (+4), who KM was delirious enough to think he could've pried him away from me.
Then, the shocking stuff:
I had 34 RPE on one guy, tops had 76 (Mack Reis +2)
I had 39 RPE on one guy, tops had 68 (Edwin Moleman +4)

I do also have to add I am now 0-5 on Max ties. Damn, this is getting rediculous. My two maxes this year ended up on the #20 recruiting class, the Vicksburg Owls, who are an in conference team for me! Doh! Damn, just noticed the #12 class is also in my conference. Man this is tough!

Well, recruiting for me wasnt bad. I won one of my maxes, and really, thats all I was looking for.
Both Toral and I didnt win Reasor, he ended up on another Conf 31 team, but Toral ended up being the other guy on Tom Hennesey, and got him over me.
Blue Hen You will be happy Noah Allegier ended up leaving his conference and coming to my team. I knew he was gonna have good attributes if I could win him, but I didnt think they would be that good. Im in a bind now, not knowing weather to start him or Watson...Watson proved himself to be great last year. But I guess choosing between a +6 and a +7 isnt that bad.
The recruiting class ended up being +12, but my problem lies in height. All my ties that lost were on the players who were tall. I recruited 3 players 6'2 and under. Janson Knapp, the super freshman 2 guard, is 6'8, the 2nd tallest player on my team, but he is slated as the 2 guard, and won Conf FOY in that slot.
Preseason will decide alot for me....

A plus 10 class without also winning any ties. That includes a plus 1 that I gather was ranked ahead of the guy I was leading on. Winning one out of two ties would have been a banner class. Have won one tie in five seasons.
Looks like Detroit is not computer coached. The dumbass apparently left an injured player on his starting five all year.

I got my league 4 team, Tucson Mountaineers. I'm glad to see I've got a couple
other gurupies in the same conference, which would be conf 31. I'm just
finishing my 4th season as the coach of Anapolis in league 14.
Tucson is in need of some big guys. I've got one 6-8, two 6-6 guys and the
rest are all 6-4 and under. Gonna be a looooong season. There is a little bit of
talent on this team though. If I can land a couple of big guys for next season we
should be able to break the 500 mark. For now I'm gonna let everyone play
about 20 minutes and go from there.

And the sucky thing, from the looks of the Attributes, no good big men to be found in our conference for recruits.

well, i am very happy this morning - i was expecting the worst from my first ever recruiting class but got a +14 class, top 20 in both rankings. The key was winning a 3-way for Roger Collier (not heavily recruited but turns out he should have been) but the suprise was picking up Hugo Geralds whom i was 10 pts back on (nice). 3rd guy is a solid back-up type guy, maybe a Jr/Sr starter.
If i didn't win the tie and didn't end up with Geralds (i had no business thinking i would) i probably would have had one solid guy and two walk-ons - very close to a disastrous class
Take home message --> try to be lucky!!

BTW - finished 9-15 (predicted 3-21), very flattering for a team that got 5 wins from a cream-puff OOC sched and two late round wins in the PTT (i was hoping for a DTT bid - i think we could have competed there) - 2 IC wins against the C18 bottom-dwellers.

Any thoughts on what you think the average player ranking is (i.e. +1, +2)? I know the ranking don't necessarily correlate very well with team success but it would be interesting to know the average team/player ranking.

I haven't been paying attention to this game for the last couple of seasons, but I see the league has gained popularity here which is cool to see. I am going to try and rebuild my team basically from scratch now. I have NO talent, but it should be fun trying to get back to the top. I will probably win 3 games for a couple of years. Congrats to bmd on winning the title.

Spyce, congrats on the class. Everyone that got one of my ties had a top-20 recruiting class, so I just got the short end of the stick this time. +5 class, and no real help for the starting lineup, and the added year for my returning starting 5 will hopefully overcome the weakening of my bench.

Looks like your in the same boat as me, kev. Kind of sucks, eh? Well I've got my top 35 recruits flagged already. They are all 6-8 on up. Kind of a bummer that there's not any good big men in the Conf. Will more than likely have to settle for some average big men.
BTW, is there any recruiting do's and don'ts concerning recruiting from another gurupies hometown, or conference? I don't wanna step on any toes.

balls Welcome to Conference 31. We need some competition here. If you check the League 4 MB you will see Roswell complaining that it is he and me (Long Beach) for time immemorial, and asking, where are the other teams?
Re recruitment: in conference, anything goes. You and I and Kev are competing to win the conference and everybody should go for the best players. Out of Conference (OOC): I generally make it a position not to look for sleepers in a conf where I know there is a Gurupie simply cause I know if I recognize him, the gurupie in conference will. Gurupies often discuss who they are maxing OOC on these boards (or in the Chat Room, in the old and perhaps future days) and may alter their maxes to avoid unnecessary conflict. But first come, first served, you can say, I intend to max Bojangles. Anyone else doing so? And then work it out.
Good luck. I don't really appreciate Gurupie competition -- I like the easy life I have had for many seasons -- but in a sense I welcome it.

Thanks for the welcome Toral, and the recruiting info. I hope to offer some competition for our conf down the road. With my Lg 14 team I have never taken them to the NTT. We've pretty much have been a 500 club, only 1 losing season though. I've been terrible at recruiting and keep trying different tactics. Hopefully I can get better at picking the sleepers and then give you guys a good fight.

Heh, guess I missed a lot.
What are Allegier's attributes? If I recall, he
had excellent rebounding, which at his height
is slightly less useful than Tom Glavine's
suberb baserunning skills. And lemme
guess. Excellent intelligence?
I got a stud, a demi-stud, and a 6'8 walkon.
Could be worse.

Blue Hen...
His att's are a +7. GFEEEF
He had a fair plus in defense when recruited (IIRC), so Im hoping maybe by a Jr, he will move up to G. The Exc rebounding is really not important, your right, but I think the Exc Intelligence is a key with a PG. With Exc Hands and Exc Intelligence, I can put up with the not so hot defense.
The Janson Knapp experiment at PF started well last night. 10 boards, and 31 points. I hope with his move to PF (and increased boards most likely), he can challenge Toral's Tracy Lindsey for Conf POY.
Should be intresting to see what my team can accomplish.

Update on my lg 7 team. I won my conf tourney I'm 14-4 the team I beat has had a PR ahead of me all year and is also now 14-4. Three of those loses are to me. What I don't understnad is how they are PR'd ahead of me. Also they have a better seed in the NTT.... ?

Any League 4 Season 16 predictions? I've gone 3-0 in preseason (although against pedestrian teams, though I'm not much above that). I missed last years 9-15 prediction by finishing at 8-16, so lets use that as a baseline and move it up to 10-14.

Well, I took Glendale from a 14-10 record down to 10-14 in my first season last year. But, I'm returning the Conf. 27 POY, and another first team all-conf. player. Add that to the fact I lost no significant seniors, and got a couple of decent freshmen, I think I can get back to a 14-10 record.

last year I predicted 12-12 for Carson City, but my lack of experience, combined with my lack of height, hurt me in the close games down the stretch. I couldnt board, and the teams hit the shots late I would miss. I finished 6-18. This year, with hopefully more time able to spend changing lineups, etc, I hope to hit 14-10. Janson Knapp has another year under his belt, and we will see how the PF experiment goes.
And in a bold move, I will pick Knapp to win Conf POY...and maybe, just maybe, first team Lg 4.

I predicted 14-10 last season, and finished 11-13. There is a good reason for it, I made the NTT. I was 10-8 after win my league championship and making the NTT. I promptly lost 5 of 6 tournament games, finishing under .500 for the 4th consecutive season. Oh well. I was happy to make the big dance.
Based on my schedule I think I should go 11-5 in the regular season, with a good chance at winning my conference tournament. If I make the NTT I'll guess 14-10, if I make the PTT I'll get risky and say 16-8.

I refuse to predict a final record but will say I'll be highly disappointed if we aren't a #1 or #2 seed in the NTT. Once there, luck plays a major role so anything past the sweet 16 is considered a success in my book.

Yep, Toral there is not much to look at in 31. If I have to go OOC I still try and stay close to home.
In my first attempt to get a team in lg 4, I got a team in lg 11 instead. I'm practicing my recruiting there and I came across a guy that had +11 attributes. He has E across the board with a G int. I maxed him and thought he was going to be highly recruited but he doesn't appear on the 75 most recruited list everyday. He does show up after the games on Monday but the rest of the week he is off the list. W3's come out Friday. I would say that, at the most, 2 other people have him maxed.
