Alums II: School selections now..NFL29129. Topic

I have a 2nd team ready to go, but I might start tinkering with some of these unclaimed powerhouses I assumed would be taken. You guys better make you claims before the 2nd team window opens...

Certainly, some great options.

My short list would be: Oklahoma, Georgia. Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Louisville. Michigan State. Cal. Michigan. Ole Miss.

Not really a short list! Get in, claim your school here, and we can assist with your questions. No reps or rosters are needed when you claim the school. You start building in NFL29129.

Awesome. Official welcome to bruinsfan911 and the Boston College Eagles!

I'm not sure if it's user error or just the fact that most BC Eagles just get a cup of coffee and then are out of the league, but I am currently struggling to find enough alumni that show up in the WIS database....I have all the starting spots filled but need 4 additional players and everyone I search for is giving me the "No (insert position here) found. Please modify your search criteria and try again" message

What positions are you lacking the minimum amount? We can help. Kicker and punter can be whatever you want if there are no alumni available.

I can send a list of names for each position via sitemail.

BC is a challenge. You would need Chmura and Mitchell at TE. Brennan and Stratford and another wideout. There is 1 more I’m missing (on my phone can’t cross check). Dillon and Green at RB. But Romanowski would be on some great Defs.

You could change your pick if you want something less challenging too. Arizona had this challenge but still made the playoffs last season.

WR Zay Flowers. OL Ron Stone connects with 90s Cowboys run. Still might be better option. You need excellent OL and Def ratings with less playmakers to choose from. You do have a kicker and punter available.

I changed my mind.

I'll choose the Texas Field Equipment Homesteaders (otherwise known as The Aggies).



So, who do you suggest?
I saw your link but unfortunately it doesn't organize them based on positions.

I have all of the minimums met, but when I look for guys to add for the "5 additional players" I'm not finding a lot.

Let me take a look. I’ll follow up.

I see the path here for BC. A really good team. I will sitemail to you later today the full roster that I see is available. Plentiful RBs to offset QB Matt Ryan and enough TEs and WRs. BC is legit.

welcome winnerpeg. Texas A&M Aggies are yours.

Without looking:

The core of QB Ryan Tannehill. WR Mike Evans. Any of the Bronco Defs that LB Von Miller played for. TE Martellus Bennett.

Texas A&M Aggies: WR Albert Connell. RB Curtis Dickey RB Earnest Jackson LB Myles Garrett CB Lester Hayes WR Christian Kirk

Lots of inventory here.

when you type in the other names on pro football reference, it states their position.

Just Sitemailed you...I have a roster in mind, but not finding some of the guys in the database. I'll play around with it between now and when you have a chance to answer.

I sitemailed some thoughts.

Saw a few more great nice finds:

RB Mike Holovak and WR Art Graham. Great ratings for the money to fill out the roster.
