also skunk, just FYI, the major differences in d1 from d2/d3 are not about game planning. i found game planning and how you build your team was similar enough that those skills translated to d1 very well. recruiting is a lot different, the competition in recruiting is totally different, and early entries change the dynamics of building a program quite a bit. that is really what makes d1 fundamentally different than the lower divisions, and i don't think you can experience those things without playing a team.

FWIW, I've been flummoxed by the inconsistency of my teams over the several seasons I've played, and Skunk has given me some pointers that have borne some pretty good early fruit. I don't consider myself nearly expert or advanced enough to weigh in on the level that you guys are debating, but as far as I'm concerned, Skunk has some very interesting ideas that may line up pretty well with how player ratings translate into good performance in the HD engine.
zooey, i know where you are coming from. but honestly, everybody here knows skunk is a good coach. that really has nothing to do with it. he has a grand total of 0 seasons of d1 experience, and is making claims about its difficulty, and defending them adamantly. there is nothing wrong with him having no experience, but why be so cocky about your conclusions about something you've never experienced?

skunk, ive seen a few posts like the above, and it sounds like you are a pretty good guy. so i am honestly surprised to be arguing here with you about this menial crap. and also to see you using success to suggest your opinion is all that matters when compared to someone without a championship... i don't get it, it just isn't right. i talk with these same guys here all the time, and we exchange opinions on equal footing - that is the way it should be. if you know something well, then your opinion's validitiy should be all it needs to be accepted. but anyway, i am going to just hope this is a one off event, and the people who describe you as helpful are on the money. so ill drop it now... take care.
i understand your point of view. i'll leave it at that.....take care as well.

Well said, billyg. My experience with Skunk is that he's been awfully helpful, and generous with his time. I've floundered around for many seasons on HD, and feel like I've got a better handle on game planning than ever.

as for the original question....  I look for ATH PF's with PE and BH.   If I could have 4 of those on every team I would.    In guards I tend to look for spd pe and bh... I have now added lp to that list.

This entire deal is once again, Daalt's fault...  troublemaker.

Billy Gillispie is a drunk hobo who was a miserable coach and a even worse human being.
