I think i recruited one player ever other year or so from hawaii.

for instance, several bigmen who had really good RE and LP (like sul pointed out) and became my all-time leading rebounders and scorers

if you happened to get in a battle, the trick was to send literally hundreds of calls and letters. there was no limit in those days and it seemed that these calls and letters were almost as effective, dollar for dollar, as a local home or campus visit, and of course waaay more effective than visits from such a great distance.

oh, one other old school thing that i havent seen lately--- players named T-Bone! in fact, in my very first season ever, i went to hawaii and got a kid named T-Bone Canter who turned into a rebounding monster (still my all time leading rebounder) and whom the oneonta fans nicknamed "Hawaiian Punch". i loved that he was named T-Bone, but later found out that there were several T-Bones around. maybe that name is still around (I cant believe they would have discontinued it) but i havent seen it in quite some time.

Still remember T-Bone and Gaunt going head to head a couple times? Those 2 were both monsters of their day. Gaunt still has some Washington records too.

remember it like it was yesterday. and that is saying something.

i really have a very short memory when it comes to HD. but for some reason those first few seasons really stand out.

I still remember my starting lineup for my 1st championship team but struggle remembering all the starters on last season's team that I won it all with.

I always had my seniors rated A or A+ for free throws. That and running uptempo was great. Lots and lots of free throws. Sometimes I'd run into a team also shooting 90% from the free throw line. Missing a free throw was a game changer!

I wonder how many teams historical stats were forever distorted.
That cominbed with a porkpower (tm) SuperClass. It was like a team of Dwayne Wade's we would get so much love from the ref's :) Was actually able to recreate that somewhat in Knight World when potential was initially rolled out.


Awww... the good old days. Makes me tear up.

I would regularly red-shirt my best recruit at D3. Then by the time he was a 5th year senior, I would have a 700-750 rated stud. 90s in rebounding/shotblocking/low post in D3? Every year.

I used to try the exact opposite of whatever the latest forum fact whine was about,

in response to 'DT the guards and play -5', I started to DT the big men and play +2 - result it worked so well, eventually daalter convinced CS that I was exploiting a glitch, and the engine was changed (this happenned almost 3 years ago, december and was b4 I started playing elite schools anywhere)

Greatest thing about this story, to the best of my knowledge, CS has never acknowledged that dt the guards / -5 was a glitch.

second best thing about this story, when they took away the 'glitch', they also took away the effectiveness of DT'ing
