Hey guys,

So my team Grand Valley State (Allen) is not doing as well this season and I'm wondering whether that might be because I haven't been recruiting as well as I should've. I asked somebody about this and they told me that the recruits that I'm getting are very low on overall rating, but I thought that it was about what skills the ratings are high in rather than the overall rating.

Am I really recruiting on the weaker side for D2?

Overall don't mean much, but you can't rebound, are not that fast/athletic and have no scorers above 70 Per or LP. Davis is the only guy I would accept on my div II team, and a few I wouldn't even recruit on my div III team. And no, overall rating isn't the issue its the cores that are.

Davis is good.

Brown, maybe maybe will end up ok.

Rundle is way too slow and unathletic for D2, Moye is terrible, just terrible and Owens is like a second walkon. Parker has a 45 rebounding, not good enough for D2.



Roark is probably ok, but would be better if his block rating wasn't worse than most SG's.

Overall, you need more everything. High potential is good, but a high potential 20 is worse than an average potential 50 in a category.

Yeah I think I got caught up in the potential thing... I was also only concentrating on all around players rather than guys who had very good specific skills.

To answer your question, yes. You can do better.

Owens is seriously that bad? I know Moye is atrocious, now that I look at it but Owens seems to be kind of OK.

I guess....his athleticism is just horrid for D2. I play press usually, but if you are in a zone, maybe he is going to be ok.
