New season - new thread
Paducah follows up a solid 15-9 season with a very good recruiting class. The new Razorbacks:
6'10" Vince Griffey +2 (2/2 tie)
Vince was the best recruit in-conference, averaging 16.1 PPG/8.4 RPG/1.1 APG/1.0 SPG/1.2 TPG/1.7 BPG. Shot 51% from 2pt range, 39% from 3-land, and 71% at the line. A truly well-rounded big man who will definitely start all 4 years at PF/C.
6'10" Brendan Holmes +3 (1/1 tie)
Brendan comes to us from Tuscaloosa, and also carries a great stat line: 18.3/7.4/1.2/0.4/1.2/1.0. Shot 54% from inside the arc and 76% from the stripe. He will back up Marcum at center during exhibition, but will likely earn the starting job with a good exhibition season.
6'4" Roderick Penny +3 (clear)
Roderick was recruited from Indy, and he scared off most suitors by posting 2.5 TPG at the SG position. Looking at his attributes, I believe he'll be a better fit at SF and should keep those TOs down, and he's not that great a shooter anyway. Solid passer and defender, though, with 1.6 APG and 1.3 SPG. He'll be our bSF more than likely this season and will likely be a solid backup throughout his career.
Landing 2 of our 3 maxes, including 2 giants with talent, gives us a real lift heading into this season. I think we'll get back to the NTT since our conference looks like it will likely be weaker this coming season. Looks like a lot of Gurupie teams pulled in ranked classes, so I'm hoping that we'll see improvements this year across the board. Good luck. |

We've got 4 of the top 7 defensive teams in lg 4 right now with GDogg, Toral, BMD, and me. Wow.
TH is 11-1 right now, with a loss to rival Ames, who are still reaping the benefits of landing the best player in the history of SSB, and from out of conference in conference 1 no less. All that and he loves to talk the talk. They're #3 PR and we're #6.
I have a guy with 2.5 steals per game... and he's 7 feet tall.

The Carlos Lawhorn push for 35+ PPG continues, and Baton Rouge continues to get close wins...We probably will finish 2nd in our conference with a 12-3 record, and hopefully can pull out a win against Naples most likely.

Anyone up for an exhibition-preseason tournament? I am losing two starters and a backup big man, but should have a very good class coming in, even without Teague. All my other leads are 0/0.
7 Gurupie teams in the top 25 defenses in the league. 5 in the top 10. Impressive!!

I'd be up for a tournament. I'll be losing my number one scorer so I'm not sure how my guys will respond to that. Recruiting looks very promising. Last week, I had some extra scholarships so I decided to see if I could find a sleeper and I found one that has over 2 steals a game and puts up about 18 points. He wasn't recruited by anyone. It's kind of wierd to see that I only had 7 points on the guy and had the lead on him. At the least he will make a solid defender.

Paducah's up for some preseason tourney action if slots are available.
Looks like a lot of Gurupie power in the first round, and hopefully the usual round of inexplicable losses in the second round of tourneys won't hurt us too bad. Extra congrats to bluehen for actually winning a first round game as a favorite! I'd buy you a beer if I was near Connecticut.

We play D.
Last night we beat our main conf rivals, Eugene, by one point -- and moved ahead of gdogg for top D in the league. 48.3 PPG. Check it out.
You can bring it to us if you want, but we're gonna have to stuff it in your face. Sorry.
Coach Toral
Who brings the D? :) Sorry just had to bring that back up. ;) Funny thing is, I had no idea how good your team was before tonights game. I had made a defensive substitution for my last conference tourney game and forgot to change back. Looks like I may have to stick to this lineup through the NTT.

TH lost in the 2nd round, our 8th NTT championship bracket loss to a seed 6 or more seeds lower (among my four teams). And I've only made 14 NTTs!

BH- what the heck happened? I was looking forward to playing Terra Haute in the Sweet 16. Anyone else still alive in the NTT? I couldn't remember what city every gurupie coaches when I was scrolling around last night.
2 wins down, 4 to go!
I'm looking for games next season if you're interested in playing a Top 20 team returning 4 starters!

We've had 5 losses in the past 3 seasons and 3 have been to the same time. Unfortunately, Worcester still has my number, we lost 71-70. We did knock them out of the NTT 2 seasons ago on our way to the title.

My team is the 15th seeded Savannah. Indianapolis and I are the two lowest seeds(both 15) left in the NTT. We're facing a tough Green Bay squad, but I'm contemplating a lineup switch that could give us better matchups against them, but I'm not too thrilled about making lineup changes this late in the year. This is the furthest in the NTT I've gone in League 4, and the second consecutive year we've been in the big show after acquiring this team 4 seasons ago. Javier Fain will have to show that he belongs among the league's elite if we are to advance any further. Good luck to FP and all others throughout the rest of the year.

Recruiting looks ok, I think. All 4 of my maxes have low ties. I'm tied with 2 others on 2 maxes and 1 other person on the other 2 maxes. I only have one clear lead and if I can land my hometown recruit and one of my other ties I'll be in good shape. I won 2 ties last season and am hoping that my luck doesn't run completely out.
We're sitting at 10-10 for the year with a real good chance of finishing above 500. Fellow conf 31 foe, Kev, and I are both still alive in the RTT championship bracket and would love to have a chance to play him for the RTT Championship.
To all conf 31 teams. Our conf is #2 and looks to be tough for the next several seasons. I look forward to the challenge. Keep up the good job fellas!

Well, with my team continuing its building phase (read: mediocre but improving), I am happy to see the I place 2 Sophs on the Conf 9 all Conference Team. Conf 9 has some very active managers (2 NTT title winners), so I am please with this.
Congrats to Carlos Lawhorn (the ball hogging bitch that he is) for League 4 Player of the year award.

Well, we bowed out of the NTT after being dominated on the boards by a strong Green Bay team. All of my teams will remain lower tier, as I don't put enough time into this game to make it worthwhile for me to pay. Recruiting for me looks to be a bit of a tossup, as I have a lot of ties and no real solid leads. We'll be returning 3 starters next year, and have some solid role players to fill in the gaps in case recruiting doesn't go well. As far as all conference goes, junior Javier Fain's 21.0 PPG 5.7 RPG were only good enough for second team conf. 13.

Thanks, bmd. I've been checking them every few days. Thanks for taking care of them. My first semester is over and so I think I can take over some of the teams. I'm going to have to drop a few of the teams, though. I'm definitely going to keep Gainesville and probably Reading, but as for the other 3, I think it's time to let go. Corpus Christi is going to be the toughest to give up because of the tremendous success of that team, but I really need to decide what's best and I just can't keep with all of them. So, if any gurupie wants Bangor (bmd, you are welcome to have them since you've been coaching them for the last 4 months) in Lg. 5, or Corpus Christi or Macon in Lg 17 let me know.
bmd, I'm going to be sending you and mauxfaux an email in the next few days letting you guys know what my plans are. Basically, if either of you two want any of the teams, you are welcome to them. You both have been a huge help and did an incredible job. I think you guys helped put my teams in four Final Fours while they were under your control. Anyway, thanks for the congrats and I'll be sending out an email soon.
