Just going to create a fun thread here.

Who have been your best international recruits?

My Knight DII world team has a guy named Yevgeny Zupp who is from Latvia; currently 20th in all-time scoring for DII Knight. Has at least 5 games left in his career, so he may end up in the top 10.

When I first got to D1 (Navy) I scoured Internationals to find guys who fell through the cracks in the second session. I found these two that first day.

(6th in scoring, 9th in rebounding, 11th in blocks, 3rd in FGA, 2nd in FGM, 22nd in FG%)

(2nd in scoring, 10th in rebounding, 7th in FGA, 1st in FGM, 3rd in FG%)

So my first two recruits at Navy ended up being first and second in career field goals made in school history. Nuts.

As an aside, I loaded Navy with international players. I always thought that was pretty funny.

This was the best player I've had probably, foreign or domestic. Drafted in the second round 6th in scoring and 2nd in assists. Prolly should've had him score even more but he had some pretty good teammates.

Also Pallas that is really funny, props.

Did they remove International recruits? I don't see any in IBA. Or maybe I just do not know how to scout them?

On the scouting service map, internationals are the bottom right button.

At the D3 level, I'd say my best international is:
Esteban Mejia

Guy is a beast when you consider the three categories sub-5

WOW that guy is ridiculous for D3.

Nope, teams aren't signing better players in 3.0 hahaha

This guy is probably the only international I've ever put an AP on. Would have been a DII stud.
