I like players one and two. Otherwise, I think you're overlooking athleticism and defense far too much. 

player 1 is pretty good, not a true PG with his ball handling/passing but a starting SG

player 2 I really like my guards to get 70 if not 80 speed, so hes  bit slow for me.  I also wouldn't go that low for ath unless he had elite spd.

player 3 i just don't see a position 38ish ath and around 29 spd with no real rebounding means he is kind of positionless

player 4 way to low ath/def, he may be a decent scorer but still will decimate you on defense.

player 5 depends on his rebounding/sb growth if he can hit 70+ then hes an okay player if not hes a low ath PF with low reb

player 6 again low ath/def means he will kill you defensively, he might be a good rebounder and average scorer, but easy to stop again good centers.

I def would recruit player 1 for my teams to play SG/SF, but the rest I probably wouldn't have even considered at any point.

like trail said ath/def was overlooked to much

if you havent read this take a look: aejones guide

So to that point; go take a look at my team in Rupp. Shouldn't that be a winning team?

Your Rupp team had good ATH/SP/DEF.    You need another rebounder but I'm sure you can address that need in recruiting. 

The teams weakness will be youth. It's very difficult to compete nationally with 5 freshmen.   You were 7-21 in your inaugural season and lost 5 players from that team.  I didn't see them; perhaps they were lousy. 

You're in a Sim conference. You should have a winning season but won't be a factor in the post-season. 

I notice that you only scheduled 3 teams this season.  In an all-Sim conference, you should fill that schedule with human coaches.  All those Sims will kill your RPI and post-season hopes. 

I am the only human coach in my conference. I am actually planning to get only frontcourt guys during recruiting. I guess I'll look forward to what could be with that team.

That wasn't intentional actually.

They were lousy guys indeed.

You have 4 openings. I'd get 3 front guys and a PG. . You'll graduate a  good PG this season.   

My lineup would be:

PG= McCabe,  Graves
SG-  Kerr, Recasner
SF-  Mulkey and either Sax or Baker
PF/C   Schofield and 3 freshmen 

Thanks for the advice. Kerr has amazing potential still even after improving by 104. PER is still blue. DEF isn't red yet.

Graves SPD, DEF and PASS are blue, ATH is black
