Towel Boy Basketball Returns!

[Coffee Warlord]

Tomorrow should be the start of some big signing days.

*crosses fingers*

So, in games...

Here's the problem I'm starting to run into..

I'm losing games, but I can't 100% figure out why.. without seeing the ratings of other teams I don't know if I'm just inferior, if I'm picking the wrong gameplan, etc..

I don't know that there's an answer to that, just throwing it out there...

Recruiting is still somewhat bugged, as Adolph Pastore committed to someplace other than NU.

(But it's partially fixed, as Arthur La committed to the Huskies today. )

We upset #3 GDI in our last game. A 16-2 run sparked our win as we had the lead pretty much the whole game.

Yeah, y'all took me behind the woodshed, even with your center and pf shooting 3-25. You outrebounded me 38-26, which I think was big. My Star 6'10 PF who is at least 9's across the board and 11 in strength is only averaging 4.7 rebounds a game in 30 mpg, the same as my 5'7 SF. I need FM team talks so I can call him a pussy and give him extra sprints.

Questions for CW - If I'm recruiting a guy with a GPA below 2.00, will he show up at school just needing the extra study hall to get/stay eligible, or is there a chance he can't enroll? (I'm assuming not.) And just how much does height play a role? Hopefully not too much, because I just noticed I'm going after a 6'0 PF haha. And what happens with the CPU schools and teams that haven't recruited. Do the unsigned recruits get randomly assigned or are they just going to get walk-ons? Oh, and can you change my team's name - I was either drunk or confused when I signed up and there's no reason for the Great Diamond Island to be in there, it's just redundant. One other thing that would be helpful are team stats.

Any discussion on the possible changes? More frequent games appears to be happening, but whether that leads to 3 or 4 a week appears to be up in the air. This would also necessitate either an increase in the frequency of recruiting/training updates or some grouped together before/after the season. The weekly schedule would seem to be worth talking about. I'm also a fan of some non-con games either before conference play starts or after the 1st half.

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm going to start a new thread once this season is over with and open the floor to changes. A faster pace for games is one thing that's set in stone, lot of other things are up in the air. We'll take a break once the season ends to implement the changes that are decided upon.

I kinda started one. Feel free to delete it if you want to wait until after the season.

[Coffee Warlord]

Nah, it's cool.

[Coffee Warlord]

Tourney is posted, games start 1/6. Round runs each day till it's all over.

The big favorites, no surprise, are the two #1 seeds, both sitting at 21-1 records.

[korme]

Lost a close one in my second to last matchup, then redeem ourselves even greater by beating HA's Dean Houston squadron. Plus, we are ranked for the first time all season @ #23!

[Katon]

I think I just had a recruit sign a letter of intent without actually having been offered a scholarship. Is that supposed to be possible?

[Tasan]

Holy cow, I got all wrapped up in the holidays I completely forgot about this.

You sure? I cannot fathom how that's possible.

[wade moore]

I don't know about Katon's scenario, but I'm kind of surprised to see all of these uncommitted kids still..

[Karlifornia]

My team is the Cal State Fightin' Stereotypes. Looking forward to having a whole season under my belt next year.

[k0ruptr]

elite 8 is pimping for the Loco Mocos baybay! w00t

[CU Tiger]

Hmmmm, here is an interesting issue.
I can only offer 3 scholarships.
But as soon as 1 guy signs I can offer another.
So I can have 3 outstanding offers at a time, but as soon as 1 is signed Its like I can offer as many as I want again. Currently I have 3 signed and 3 more offers out.

Is this working properly?

BTW 3 signed 5star prospects...hopefully we arent on the all chump team next year.

I have five graduating seniors, so that should mean five scholarships. I now have three players committed - Jim Reid, Darryn Lobato, and Daniel Klee(the problem signing). I also have three players who I am currently heavily recruiting with offer of a full scholarship, according to the "Your Recruits" page and to the spreadsheet where I've been planning my recruiting. Reid and Lobato I had made offers to before they signed; that makes five scholarships.

I was heavily recruiting Klee, but I don't think I made him an offer - or that I had a spare scholarship to offer him. I almost offered one to him instead of one of the guys I'm still recruiting, and I'm certainly glad to land him, but I'm not entirely sure how he got here.

eta: Just saw CU Tiger's post, and that might explain my problem about the number of scholarships, since I landed Reid a couple of weeks ago and then Lobato last week. If it was possible for me to have had offers out to Klee and to the other three at the same time, then that could be what's going on, since all I can say for sure is that Klee was not one of my top three targets when he signed.

[rjolley]

I think you're able to offer 1 more schalarship than you have available.

[k0ruptr]

movin on movin on. final 4. but I get to play the Chronic who is #1 and has only lost 1 game. arg.

[Coffee Warlord]

The scheduling for the last 2 rounds were bugged, thus ran late.

But we have our final game tomorrow! The Chronic was dethroned!

Honolulu vs JGU!

[k0ruptr]

a final with conference opponents! wow im excited, we split the season series too. Jeebs is going down !

[k0ruptr]

dola, BTW I just wanted to be the first to compare the Erik Flamebeard 10 to the SEC, we are so dominant . w00t.

lol

[Coffee Warlord]

We have a national champion.

We have results from this year's pro draft.

Champions have been listed.

Recruiting finishes monday, and then I kill her for a while while we discuss/implement next season's updates.

[korme]

My only request is that you somehow save this years stats to make career stats listed on player pages

[Coffee Warlord]

The stats are saved, however, at this time, I have no means to display them. But fear not, I don't overwrite stats, so it can be done.

[k0ruptr]

ahh bah, grats to jeebs. what do i get for 2nd place? lol

[Mr. Wednesday]

I've made a couple of observations on the public board. Thoughts about interseason recruiting, griping about playing a road game in the second round of the tourney despite being the better seed.

[Tasan]

So I've had 4 guys accept my scholly offers, which should be my max, but I still have two guys with offers. Do I need to revoke those, or will they just go away?

[Coffee Warlord]

No, they'll just sit there. You won't actually get them once you're maxed on commits.

[mauchow]

5 commits, baby.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I got both my remaining primary targets today (not original primary targets, but the guys I was offering and that I needed to get if I wasn't going to have to scramble to complete the class).

[Tasan]

I think I did okay with recruiting. I got 3 4-star guys and a solid 3-star guy.

[wade moore]

I got 3 4-stars and a 5.

w00t.

Fab 4 baby!

[Mr. Wednesday]

All three of mine are 5*.

[Coffee Warlord]

Jerks. I got garbage.

Downtime for updates may be a bit later than expected. The job that actually pays the bills is fairly busy, and traditionally speaking, the last thing I wanna do after coming home from a busy day is...wrte more code.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Well, I did only get my second choice PG (which might have been third or lower if I'd had a backup plan before Jang went elsewhere) and my second or third choice C.

[Katon]

Four 5* and one 4* (who'll probably spend his entire career as a backup to one of my other recruits).

[Mr. Wednesday]

And I should further add that my second-choice C only had one other offer IIRC.

[k0ruptr]

Whats new?

[Coffee Warlord]

Job hunting, house hunting and with less people at the office of the current job, this is somewhat low on my list of priorities. Still been dwelling on things, but I just can't afford the time to sit down and concentrate on it for the time being.

[k0ruptr]

sweet I understand. gl with all that.

[wade moore]

Missed k0ruptr's bump. Can't wait to see this back up and running after CW takes that cushy new job .
