This was my first class at a D2 school in years and I was wondering how everyone thinks I did. I know I needed to add more ATH but for a D2 team with C prestige I think this team down the road has a pretty good ceiling. I will be running motion/press.

I would need to know WEs to make any sort of analysis.

But assuming they all have WEs around 50 i would say cassano and campagna are my two favs..

Going from top to bottom in order 64, 62, 17, 59, 1, 72, 53. 

Bass has a low WE but Im hoping with him more than likely starting this season he will be at around 25 by the end of the season. Smith having a WE of 1 doesn't really matter as he is a 1 year transfer to give me depth and class separation. Everyone else have decent WE and if Campagna doesn't go JUCO on me he will be very good in 3 seasons and Cassano with a WE of 72 should be very good as well. However the most interesting guy I think is Poli as he has a skill set that could be fun at SG or could become a pretty decent SF

There are a couple of guys in there that if their highs are high enough could be very good players.  I think with Bass's work ethic I'd probably rather take a walk-on.  I'm not a huge fan of Noles, either.  Is Shearer going to be around for 2 or 3 years?  I do like him if he has some time to develop his ATH and Stamina.  Probably need to put at least 28-30 minutes into conditioning for him...

Shearer is a 2 year JUCO but I will put big minutes into conditioning and LP and boost him up fast. Bass was a slight mistake on my part as he was a backup option and since I was recruiting from my phone I didn't realize he had a WE of 17 before I had dumped a decent amount of money on him and just decided to go with it as I didnt have any SF on my current roster and little $$ left. Noles will be a decent player and more than likely I will recruit over him next season any way when I should have 4 spots open. This season with 8 open roster spots on a C prestige I was looking for guys who will grow and trying to stay away from any battles.
