Just for the record, his WE is a grand total of "6" which is important information. This is a D-2 team at Grand Canyon.

I promised 6 starts to 5 guys and trying to make a decision on which one to get rid of after the season.

He wont be going much of anywhere. Could be a pretty solid player, although kinda slow, but the 6 WE means he will probably never reach his potential. I would except less than 20 points of improvement per year depending on playing time.

Probably taking orders at the drive thru at your local McDonald's........Sorry couldn't resist.

witht hat work ethic he wont gain much if any. So I vote for the exact same + or - 7 .

I recruited a guy at my new div 2 school in smith with a 7 work ethic and some good potential the team was crap so he will start probably all 4 years. I haven't recruited anyone with a WE that low since potential came out so i'm eager to see where he ends up.

I haven't recruited anybody with such a low WE ever but I have recruited guys with mid teen WE and they do improve. But there seems to be a big difference the lower the WE is. I don't know the difference between a 1 WE and a 6 WE, but 1 WE guys just don't improve, so I'd imagine a 6 WE guy will only improve 8-10 in his areas at best, maybe only 4-7. However he could be a serviceable backup SG because of his passing, per and bh. But I wouldn't expect much from him.

The 15 WE guy I had from last season has worked out well. I figured maybe if he got some starts and minutes, he could get his WE up to 10+ .

Keep in mind potential will be even slower likely before he is at the end of his SO season. I don't think he'll ever be much more then a pretty average back up.

He had 48/58 Ath/Spd with high potential as a power foward, that was the most appealing thing about him with decent rebounding and low post skills. I think most power forward would struggle to get to 48/58 even after 4 seasons of playing. Was thinking maybe he could get to 55/65.

I'm going to bring him off the bench this season. He'll walk next before season and then I can pick up a better low post player. So I broke my promise, what's going to happen, his WE goes down to negative 44?lol Can't go much further down from 6.

Basically that was my question, how much would a guy that has a WE of 6 improve. One guy was leaving at the end of the year anyways, so no harm no foul

There is a huge difference between a 1 WE guy and a 7 WE guy.

If you are serious about this kid you want to start him now and help get his WE up a few points this year and the following years and he could turn into a solid player.

I'm sorry everyone, I guess I posted the incorrect player.



John Jackson

Wiz..... Don't be suprised if you catch a bunch of **** from Matt since the dudes a 450 recruit :) I'd welcome the dude at USCLA! I'm a big speed so I'm really not a fan of the first guy you posted with his bad *** potential.

I like Jackson though. I was going to go after him until I saw Grand Canyon on the side. Other than that, I like my big guys to pass well and have big LP number with speed in the + 50 range. I run the triangle and the press so speed is a big thing for me. I don't know how it is going to play into the Flex and the 24 for DEF doesn't seem to be all that strong for a Man to Man player especially if you match him up against one of my Sr's this year.

Now I am saying to much and my AD is going to Sim-rip into me know so I'll leave you with that. Look forward to the matchups this year wiz!
