What Happened?

Finished 17-11. Team was quite inconsistent. Lost 5 games by 3 points or less or in OT. RPI at 118, SOS at 151. Moved from a D+ to a C- prestige.

What's Good?

Another winning season. Quite surprised the prestige went up, wasn't expected that with no postseason.
1st team- C Griffin (led conference in RPG again, 1st in BPG, 9th in FG%, 4th in MPG)
3rd team- PG Oliver (6th in PPG, 2nd in MPG, 5th in 3PT%)

Others- Fenley 5th in APG, Hammond 6th in FT%, Smith 7th in FT%

Huge step back on the team leaderboards only thing ranked in top 25 was. Blocks per game 12th, (15th last season) and 3PT% Against 6th, (11th last season)

What's Bad?

No postseason. Graduate my first recruiting class, except for Fenley who was redshirted.

Offensive production went way down, from 49% shooting to 46%, despite only losing one guy.

SOS was much worse than I expected it to be. I had some games vs solid teams, and the conference was a very respectable 14th, but I ended up playing the 249th, 254th, and 272nd teams in RPI. That negates all the positives from playing UCLA, UNC, and Georgia Tech.

The SOS is much harder for next season.

Lessons Learned?

Boggs was a waste of a spot, but I'll keep him anyway.

The SOS issue.

Some close losses to a few bad teams was killer. Just a few points here and there and I could've won 20+ games.

Overall?

The prestige upgrade makes me a bit more optimistic about things. Lose 2 starting post players and my backup SF. So the frontcourt will need some bodies.

McNany will jump to a starting spot, but unsure what to do, whether I put Truelove at starting PF, or Clark at C. Perhaps if I get a good enough recruit he can start right away.

Conference was SR heavy, at least among the human schools, so I may jump up a bit as I'm tied for 4th overall in team rating.

Still on the right track, but this season kind of stunted the growth without a postseason birth.

Had a nice career, but hit all his potentials really early on as he was maxed out on everything but BH by the time he started his Junior season.

Only started 2 games, and that was in his FR season when I was trying anything to be competitive. he could have transferred and I wouldn't have been upset about it.
Spent his career as a backup SF, didn't record much in stats except for a few rebounds. Disappointment, but I just needed bodies at the time.

Fifth Season Recruits

Jimmie Lumley
#224 OA
#52 PF

	Current Rating	Potential			Current Rating	Potential
Athleticism	36	High		Perimeter	27	Low
Speed	18	High		Ball Handling	17	Average
Rebounding	56	High		Passing	40	Low
Defense	38	Average		Stamina	57	High
Shot Blocking	53	Average		Durability	67	Average
Low-post	80	Low		FT Shooting	73.7%	Average

99 WE. Nice potentials and FT%. Not sure if he'll go into the rotation immediately or if I'll try to RS him. Should develop into a good PF, but it'll take a season or two for his ATH and SPD to be good enough. Could be a pretty good player depending on where his potentials lead him.

Lyndon Johnson
#62 C

	Current Rating	Potential			Current Rating	Potential
Athleticism	56	Low		Perimeter	10	Average
Speed	14	Average		Ball Handling	31	Average
Rebounding	70	High		Passing	37	Low
Defense	40	High		Stamina	68	High
Shot Blocking	61	Average		Durability	25	Average
Low-post	86	Low		FT Shooting	53.7%	High

64 WE. I normally avoid horrible FT%, but a guy that will get to 90+ REB fairly quickly is a must for my team. Very solid around the board and will get minutes right away as his ratings are good enough right now. Should end up being the starting C for two seasons.

Jesse Kilburn
#173 OA
#34 SF

	Current Rating	Potential			Current Rating	Potential
Athleticism	72	Low		Perimeter	32	High
Speed	55	High		Ball Handling	61	Low
Rebounding	22	High		Passing	43	High
Defense	56	High		Stamina	64	High
Shot Blocking	13	Average		Durability	80	Average
Low-post	19	Low		FT Shooting	67.7%	High

64 WE. Star of the class and lots to like here. Many High potentials in important spots. Will play SG and SF. Probably won't end up as good as Hammond, but will be just a notch below. His ATH/SPD will make him a big scorer.

Like the class, but don't love it. PAC 10 ate up my higher value targets. I'll have 4 openings next time so I'll have a better chance at landing a slightly higher tier of player. Didn't end up with any bums as all should be good starters when all is said and done.
