Anyone have some tendencies internationally. For example I really have had some luck recruiting players from italy. They seem to pan out nicely. Recently scouting through international players i noticed players from similar places seem to have similar structures? Is this a real thing or coincidence?

i've had good luck w/ african and russian pg's...and south korean low post players. there was a time when 6 of my 12 players were int'l - with 4 from the same russian team.

I started two dikembe's at one time...but to answer your question I have never noticed any internationals easier or harder to recruit.

I think they are only easier to recruit from the perspective that you are less likely to get into a recruiting battle over one.  Too many coaches pass them up, either because they are searching the database too narrowly (only doing searches in scouted states, for example) or that by the time they identify a good international player, they have already drained the recruiting budget to the point that they can't competitively recruit the international player.

Me too! I had dikembe alhuseini and dikembe akinyooye on the same team. I think I recruited them one year apart, might have won an nt with both on the same roster too not sure
