A spot opened in 31 today, I’m in as the Ft Myers Sunsets. Looks like they had the #1 class 3 years ago and have since floundered. Disappointed both of my teams are in Florida.

Glad i got to welcome you to the league with a beat down looks like we’re in the same conference and play again later in the season. Welcome!

I thought that might be you, thanks for the L. Not happy with the roster on the league 31 team at all, going to need about a 3 year rebuild to bring in my guys - be patient fans! Lol

Somehow managed to lose in 34 to a 15 seed on a last second shot with a trip to the final 4 on the line. Anxious to get the recruits signed.

In L31, Athens is now up to #2 with the #43 SOS. Recruiting looks real good as our top guys are in what amounts to a tie with one other realistic team each and a good safety net of under-recruited players. We're definitely a contender this year, just hope we don't fall victim to some of the crazy tourney upsets seen the last couple seasons.

Yep. You Seem to be one of the best teams. New Orleans was terrible today and suffered our first loss. #5 overall. Recruiting looks pretty solid.

In L31 it’s going to be a total rebuild, have 3 decent seniors but the rest of the cupboard is bare and the coach I took over for screwed up recruiting this year by going big on guys that have no interest in playing in Ft. Myers. I’m going to have to try and salvage something out of nothing in this seasons recruiting class but it’s going to take a couple years I think.

Have a better team in L34 but think I may have screwed up on my first real week of recruiting, not paying close enough attention to the conference the player was in vs the region. Struggling with the style of play choices and how that affects your results. I find myself wanting to fast forward these seasons (much like IU’s) and get on with recruiting and improve the team.

L34 has been tough on me too. Difficult to get a read on whether my team is performing well or not, which is making recruiting difficult.

I kind of like my squad in L34. Missing a dynamic scorer but the pieces are there for a good season. Interested to see how this season goes. We have tons of size.

Athens had a head scratcher 20 point loss to the #33 team. Not sure why it was such a blowout, as they didn't run any defensive or offensive schemes that we haven't played and beaten this year. Not making any adjustments as I'm hoping it was a fluke. Sitting at 9-1 (5-1) atop my conference, #5 ranking with a #35 SOS. Hoping to finish the season strong for a 1 seed in the NTT.

After struggling in the exhibition season with their identity, Orlando in L 34 stomped its opening opponent by 33 last night. Coach realized he has some horses and has turned them loose. Just clapping and cheering for them to go faster!

 

Took another L in 31 on a last second 3 pointer. 5th straight L on a team that is much better than its playing. Ft Myers starters are +27/-2. 4 excellent shooters, lots of good abilities, the only thing less than fair is the SG intelligent is poor. Makes no sense to be 3-7 overall and 1-5 in conference. Team traits?cf274724b93693d547653437a8d14a3b.jpg

That's brutal, AJ! Honestly, the game sim confuses me sometimes. My L31 team is a real bruiser and shoots well, but we had that 20 point blowout where three guys all shot poorly. 

Try using your bench? I've had players with worse attributes outperform "top" players for no apparent reason.

Yeah me too. Guys that put up crazy numbers in HS tend to do it in college too even if attributes are subpar. But then it's hard to gauge defense and winning traits even if they are stuffing the stat sheet.

Scrimmages are done every 4 hours skipping over the 5 pm game time. Something like
10 am, 2pm, 10 pm. Or something very similar to that.

Ha did not know that. I thought it was just the preseason games.
