#1 has a big edge in speed, but #2 has the edge in rebounding. Thoughts?

What position are you planning on playing them at?
11/8/2012 11:12 PM
If it is a PG or SG I go with #1 because they have better SPD, BH, PER and PASS. If it is SF or PF then I go with #2
11/8/2012 11:14 PM
The thing is, I'm not sure where I'll play him. He's part of a huge class where I loaded up talent on every position. Which one is the better overall player for M2M? I'm leaning towards player 2 at this point, simply because he's a little more versatile and more well rounded.
11/8/2012 11:31 PM
Depends a lot on the rest of the guys in the big class I'd think...  They seem reasonably equivalent, so if I wanted a guy to primarily play the 3 with flexibility to the 2 or 4 then I'd take the second guy, if I wanted a guy to play 1-3 the first one is clearly better, but neither seems objectively head and shoulders above the other...
11/8/2012 11:52 PM
Neither, they both suck.  There has to be a 40/40/40 guy out there you really want, right? :)
11/9/2012 12:20 AM
I would go with player #2 because it always seems harder to find a guy who is that well rounded to fill in the SF role on a D2 team. It is much easier to find another PG/SG at is similar to #1.
11/9/2012 12:30 AM
do you need scoring or rebounding? really what it comes down to I think, although slyman may have a point...
11/9/2012 3:03 AM
I went with #2 along the line of slyman. I think I can find a good ath/spd pg with 70ish bh/pa pretty easily. I can't really find a 70/70 ath/spd sf with 40-60stats in everything else. And plus, I already had Triggs considering me and I want to bank as much cash as I can going into next season.

Here is the player, with potential:

any reason you didn't go after Kear?  He was in your backyard in Tennessee.
I was surprised he was available.  Plus all 7 of those high potentials are of the high-high variety.

Kear never dropped to me and I didn't feel like he warranted a pulldown. There was also a little hiccup when Barretchap came into TN for Brett Chase. I wanted to conserve max cash in case barret decided to make a sneaky play for him. I also bumped you off Vidaurri and didn't want to be a douche and pulldown Kear and grab him as well.

Here are the 5 guys I signed, which I think are comparable if not better than Kear, hence why I didn't pull him down:

Name Pos. GPA FG% FT% A SPD REB DE BLK LP PE BH P WE ST DU TOT
Brett Chase SG 2.79 64.6 66.9 58 48 25 53 10 37 20 35 22 75 64 23 470
Randy Commander PG 3.21 68.6 67.3 64 61 7 45 13 26 41 48 26 46 69 64 510
Lawrence Reed C 3.01 63.5 63.0 46 15 83 36 83 59 15 16 16 23 68 53 513
Timothy Triggs SF 2.61 43.2 59.1 70 52 45 52 25 33 11 47 16 49 70 45 515
Steve Vidaurri PF 2.19 57.3 61.2 67 31 59 57 54 36 13 16 21 40 59 61 514


Green = high high. I only scouted out Reed.

I was also waiting for this guy to drop down and have him take Triggs spot. In hindsight, should have pulled him down considering I ended recruiting with a little over 20k, but I didn't want to risk losing Vidaurri or Chase to a potential late poach. Fretwell ended up on a D1 roster...

Yeah, just got to A+. Pretty sure I'm on the low end of A+ because there were a bunch of guys that other A+ teams recruited straight up without being in the 70 mile zone.

Its pretty easy to pulldown if you know what you're doing tho too

I'm referring to them being on the recruit @ the 8pm cycle. Idk many coaches that would straight up pulldown a D1 recruit without waiting for the phone call...
