Shoot, I had it in there and deleted it on accident. Eastern Illinois

Looks good I can't wait to see how you do this season

Congrats on landing Armstrong. Landing a 4* that you can build around after year 1 is a big deal when playing in a closed legacy.. I have never run with Eastern Illinois, but did do a legacy with Western Illinios and with Chicago State. I always lliked playing in Illinios and scheduling the big boys like Illinois,DePaul,Northwestern..


From what I remember from past legacies, Roman Martin,Dorlack and Cisse always seem to play better then their actual ratings.

Thanks, Armstrong was a big signing. We were lucky we caught on to him late when nobody else had offered, somehow he flew under the radar. I do have a house rule that I cannot recruit more foreign players than my original roster had. ie - I can't recruit a foreign player until Cisse is a senior.

I just let the CPU generate the schedule, we got a tough one this year. We open at St Johns, at Kentucky, then later play at Florida, and I think at Boston College.

I actually played the first 11 games of the first season, Martin is a stud.
