Hey guys,

I'm getting married next weekend, and I'll be on my honeymoon the following week.

That means I have to do all of my recruiting and set my lineups after Monday nights games. I was hoping I could set up some home/away scrimmages to be played Monday night. Anyone interested?

Shortly after the new rosters come out I'll start proposing the scrimmages if you post here.

Thank you!

well, my run with good recruiting classes will be over.

31 backups and not one tie, in fact, I'm more than 20RPE away from all of em

My 4 maxes: 10/10, 3/3, 3/3, 2/2

oh well, guess I shouldn't really complain :)

I'm sort of satisfied with my recruiting. I can't really complain now after what J just posted! :)

My 3 maxes are: 3/3 2/4 4/4 wasn't expecting ties like that...

But I have a great backup, a potential +5 player...and not a single person is on him!

Ouch, J!

My 2 maxes are 0/0 and 1/1. I've also got the lead on 3 other recruits.

Recruiting looks a lot better this season than the last one.

Recruiting looks pretty good. All winnable ties and one lead. Of course if I don't win any ties it could become ugly in a hurry!

Montgomery 1/1 (Good+ winning program and Chicago's the other team);
Harden 0/0;
Sample 2/2 (beastie's on him) (another Good for winning program)
Boyle 4/4-any of the five I think have an equal shot.

Have other leads but not on big men and I would like at least one this class.

Since I did so bad for me, I'm kinda curious how bad I recruited for Polack :(

J, I've got all my sholarships left and will use 10 of them to see if I can't find some decent sleepers for ya. I'll get back to you once I'm done fishing for em.

In the past I've found some solid role players by doing this. I should know something Monday night at the latest.

i used about 11 scholarships and 20 one-pointers to find all of my guys, I made sure to pick guys not on the top 75 list. It usually works pretty well. But with all the success I've had with recruiting, this is probably P6K's revenge!

Thanks balls though, I appreciate it!

J, you ever think about flipping Devers and Puckett?

It looks like Puckett would be a better classic PG (with GOOD for ATHL and INT), and his current AST/TO numbers reflect that. Devers EXC for DEF would seem to suit matching up against gunners people usually place at the SG.

Let me know if you want to scrim to test. Hell, we need our yearly HOME/HOME scrim anyway.

Not quite as glorious as J's 1 vs 256, I had my 5 vs 249.

103 - 45. Pretty close.

My #9 squad takes on the #255 team on Monday. I think it will be a good game to let my 2 walkons play. Especially since I beat them earlier by 50.

Seems kind of quiet around here this season. Everyones gearing up for football.

How's recruiting lookin for everyone?

I've got the making of a solid class with 2 clear leads, one lead , and a 1/1 tie on one of my maxes.

My 2 clear leads are:

Tex McBride 6-6 SG from region 21. averages over 27 points and over 4 boards a game from the SG spot. Downside is that he turns the ball over 2 times a game. He shows up frequently on the high school stars report.

Clarence Winston 6-9 from reg 25. He'll bring some toughness with his D and rebounding skills. Over 9 boards and 1.5 steals and 1.8 blocks a game. He's my top priority as I can use his size for next season.

My one lead is:

Dalton Garvin 6-0 PG from reg 16. I've got no one within 3 but have 3 people within 12. He seems to be a true PG with 3.4 apg and 1.8 stls and under 1 TO per game.

And the 1/1 tie is:

Jordan Cisee 6-3 PG from reg 7. Solid Pg with an average of 24 ppg, 2.2 apg, 1.4 stls and 1.2 To's.

I'll be very happy with any of those three. I'll put the same priority points on the 3 guards and go from there.

We'll see but I'm seriously thinking of giving up my League 4 team. As you said RSF lots of computer coaches.

I have teams in 18 and 6 which I love-although they are not as good as my League 4 team. Recruiting and winning in those leagues is super challenging. We'll see.

jeff-grats on getting a League 6 team. You'll love that league!

yep, that does suck. I wonder what lg has the most computer coached teams.

Well we have 4 gurupie teams in the elite eight. Unfortunately that number will be down to at least 3 as jeff and J play each other. And the good thing is that we'll have at least one in the final four. Good luck to everyone!

I go up against a guy I have an 8 to 10 game winning streak against. Yeah, I hate that!

Kurt Fraser pulled in a second team all League spot. Nice.

Javier Denison from jeff1137's squad made 1st team.

At least we'll have one gurupie team in the finals this season. Unfortunately for me, it will more than likely be Js team.

RSF, I thought you were a shoe in for the left side of the bracket.

alright, all setup balls. Nothing good can come of this. Most likely we'll split these 2 games and the loser of the "real" game will be even more pissed than normal!!!!

Now, for next year...I have Exh Game #1 available...who wants in?

FYI - Polack, I put you in for Game #2

Thanks fellas! It was a pretty good game as I led the whole game but he cut the lead to 6 with under 2 minutes left. My guys hit their free throws down the stretch to seal the victory. I had my guys practicing free throws for the last 4 weeks. Guess that paid off!

I would like to give special thanks to J and his thugz for not injuring any of my players in the final four. Even though J sent me to the line 40 times that game. And a big thanks to the gurupies for all the support!

The final power rankings have gurupies in the top 3. Tucson, San Jose, and Atlanta. Pretty impressive if ya ask me.

I'm in my 2nd season with lg 1 and it seems to be pretty active. My first set of recruits were ranked around 160th. So far lg 1 has lived up to the hype, imo.
