I know most gurupies have teams in League 4, i'm just wondering what other leagues gurpies coach in.

RSF --
Good luck in our final four clash on Wednesday night (just not too much). What are the odds?
We certainly didn't want to see your red hot bunch on this side of the bracket, but I guess everybody is tough at this point.
Anyway, congratulations on your great run. Whichever teams wins is the one I will be cheering for in the final.

Good luck to you too! I've been red-hot and rolling all season long. Two losses, one to #1 Las Vegas fairly early on, then the conference finals to a pretty good squad.
If you win, Great! If I win, Great!
This is my second final 4 in a week. Went to the championship game in League 4. I'm hoping this one goes even better.

Dang...85-50 is not what I expected, my guys played some monster D. Now I face Las Vegas, who absolutely killed me earlier in the season. Should be interesting.

And today is that day!
Congratulations, rsf, on your L14 NTT title! With that 80-68 win over Las Vegas, you moved up to #2 in the PR...right behind Las Vegas. Gotta love computers. Somehow, I rather doubt you care. :)))))
(Myself, I'm hoping for a different sort of streak. Had the #1 recruiting class last year, had the #1 class in L13 last week. Going for the double-repeat.)

Thanks fellas, its kinda nice after losing out last week.
Congrats to balls and bmd for pulling top rated classes (balls with a #1...sweet!). I made both lists. Pulled 2 of my maxes (both were clear 0/0s) and a backup whom I had 74 RPEs on (clear 0/0). Honestly surprised at the +13 score, with nice distribution of attributes. Still going to NA one of them as there is still a ton of talent on this team, despite losing superstud...what his name...oh yeah...Gerry Sykes (#2 in the SimBA draft!)

Thanks RSF, the Sun is shining here :)
I must say that the sim gods are looking down upon me. In one weeks time I have 2 #1 ranked classes(Lg 4 was my other). I won two ties, a 4/4 and 3/3, to get my two tall guys. My three recruits are a combined +14. My third recruit is a defensive monster with 2.3 steals a game. He played PG and also had 1.9 turnovers a game, but is rated with good hands. I still don't have the kind of PG that I like, one with under 1 TO per game. But if he can steal more than he turns it over I think I'll give him a shot.

Wow, I can't remember the last time I posted on RotoGuru. I used to coach league 4 Savannah, but once the new recruiting started I dropped my league 4 team to concentrate on my League 16 team, where I was involved in preseason tournaments and had just pulled in a #1 ranked class. Anyway, three seasons later that #1 class has brought me my first NTT title with West Palm Beach. The starting lineup was composed of 3 juniors, a soph, and a freshman, the team went 24-0, and finished with a power ranking of over 107. Needless to say I was extremely excited, and with the entire starting lineup returning this season looks like it could be just as fun. We just finished exhibition game #2, and my starting five scored 91 out of our teams 93 points, something I have never seen before. Anyway, it's amazing how much a good NTT run will get you back into this game, and with some extra free time on my hands I may try to jump back into league 4 again, only this time with some experience under my belt. So watch your backs. ;)

I just dropped my lg 11 team. I didn't want to drop it but I got the team by mistake. In thier first season with all the players as the ones I recruited they make the NTT championship game and lose by two. It was harder to give up after such a great run and they should be back in the thick of things next year too. And on that note, I went ahead and picked up a team in lg 1. The team is total crap but should be fun trying to build them up.

Whenever league 4 opens up post a message in here so I can get in. My League 16 West Palm Beach is still rolling, beating opponents by 30+ ppg, and I just picked up a team in league 9 that is a definate rebuilding project (the starting center is 6'4").

Well, I have 2 6'6" guys, but both are poor rebounders. The entire team is only +12, but +4 of that are from a point guard that can't score or play defense. Infact, no one on the team can play defense, which is part of the reason I'm getting beat by 40 points a game in exhibition. You know it's bad when you can't figure out if your starting point guard should remain at PG or move to center. By comparison, my WPB squad has a starting five that is +29 overall, and a + 9 on defense. Should be a fun challenge trying to build this team up as a small program.

After all of that, I know your team is more of a challenge than mine. I do have 3 guys that are +4 each, so there is some talent. I just noticed that my 6-8 guy is a poor in rebounds. Some help he is. Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna put both my starters and backups on sub more. I've wanted to try this for a while now, and this team looks perfect for that.

In lg 14 the Smokers were eliminated in round one of the NTT. We had a very easy schedule this season so I wasn't shocked that I lost. I'm just hoping that I can win 20 games.
Good Luck RSF! I really hope you beat that team coached by JB. That guy kind of irks me.

I lost to him earlier in preseason, but that was a completely differently run squad than I have going now. I am thinking on switching my PG and SG around, to get Vanover on the better scorer, but things are going so smooth, I am having a tough time pulling the trigger.
What is it that irks you about him?

Wichita moves on to round 2 after a disappointing season. Now we get to get clobbered by Tampa. I have no idea how there are 4 teams ranked above them in the PRs. They've been crushing people all year.
Good luck to everyone else!
RSF, if I don't get a response in the next week or so to the regular or preseason games I offered up on the L14 message board, are you up for a game next year?

jb is in the conference right next to mine, and it seems we are usually recruiting the same people, with him winning the ties. I'm also tied with him again this season on a recruit and I need all the help I can get to land this one. It's nothing personal though.

kinda funny how things end up some times. The lineup I'm running tonight in lg 4 has the startes @ +18 and the backups +22. When I first stated playing this game I would start the guys with the highest attributes. I've slowly learned that you don't have to do it to win. Alot of guys play better than their attributes. And alot play worse as well.
Go Rodans!

Hey Buchster, my guys are +4, +3, +1. I'm just curious if any of your +8 ranked class had an increase in attributes?
BTW, that's a hell of a winning streak you're on.

No increase in attributes from any of them, so it's unlikely that the rankings take any sort of potential into consideration. They are still +7,+1,+0.
BTW, 46 in a row for WPB. This is by far the best team i've ever put together, it may not have the +/- rating that some teams have, but it seems like all the +'s are in the right category's and the players all complement eachother. They all play tremendous defense as well. Here's a quick rundown:
PG Edison Janes 6'4 Sr 22.4 ppg 2.8 apg 12 blk
SG Jamal Shelton 6'4 Jr 22.4 ppg 4.4 rpg 13 blk
SF Dave Paulley 6'9 Sr 9.4 ppg 4.0 rpg 24 blk
PF Brandon Nation6'10 So 2.8 ppg 6.0 rpg 24 blk
C Conrad Snyder 6'10 Sr 14.8 ppg 8.9 rpg 25 blk
Some random facts:
Team scores 88.0 ppg, allows 57.9 ppg, +30 dif
+13.8 rpg , 129 to 60 blocks advantage, Team .564 FG%
I wish I could transfer this team into Lg 4. :)

So, L14 Top 75 is out.
A couple of seasons ago, I hit the trifecta in L27 recruiting. While I managed to avoid that this year, as the song goes, "Two out of three ain't bad." Not a huge shock, as one is a big man getting 4.3 blocks per game, and the other is shaping up to be a 12/12 tie or so. Other two maxes also on the list, one of whom will be getting dropped.
*sigh*
On the good side, Johnnie Pugh (25 ppg, 3 apg, 1 topg) is only #60 on the list, I had him in my top ten.

RSF, well my first recruiting class kinda sucked. I think it was ranked around 160th. I dumped my two maxes and went after the sleepers I found as I didn't like my chances of winning any of my ties.
I look at the top 75 list this season and of course my only two maxes are on it. Just like any other lg there are plenty of top players that didn't make the list. It's gonna take me at least 4 years to build this team up.
I co manange a team in lg 6 and we have won more games than any other the last 5 seasons. Granted, we play in a very weak conference so that helps. That is the only team that I play as a large program, BTW.
All that "superior" lg talk is a bunch of gay nonsense. I don't care what lg you're in, it's always tough to win the NTT.
Good luck in getting a lg 1 team.

The DWetzel empire is rolling!
League 13: #6/#27 ranked class last week added to a team that went 16-8 last year, won 3 straight tough preseason games to advance to Tier 1 of the King of the Hill tournament. Potential NTT contender.
League 14: #1/#2 ranked class including a pair of +6 players (one clear, one fluky 8/8 tie) added to a team that was ranked as high as #5 in the PR at the end of last season, and lost nobody of value.
League 27: Good freshmen (headlined by a +7 PG). Team is 9-3, on pace for best season in school history--and there's a solid recruiting class on the way.

RSF, you ever get a Lg 1 team?
I just got my second set of recruits in that Lg and they come in at +6. My first class was +5. I've used the same strategy for recruiting as my other teams and so far Lg 1 seems to be a lot tougher. I haven't tried to recruit any studs though and have been recruiting rather conservatively. My strategy with this team is to go after defensive guys. 4 of my 6 recruits are good to excellant defenders. I've got another guy who had 1.5 stls in high school but comes in as a fair defender with G int and G ath. I'm just hoping, in the long run, to play every team tough.

I should make it a little more clear in that my strategy to find sleepers is the same as my other teams. I have 4 guys on my team that were not my maxes and I had the lead on them once the W3 were released. I have won two 1/1 maxed ties.
