bk41129 - "ready for challenge" at Oral Roberts University - named as new head coach. Officials at Georgetown "shocked" by departure.

The main reason I left is because of the power conference that a couple of great coaches are trying to start up. It sounded like a great idea to me and it was definitely something I wanted to be apart of. I wouldn't have been able to join because the conference was full. But there was an excellent coach that got removed from the job because he had another account within 1,000 miles. I felt a little bad about taking the team over but I will do my best to lead the Golden Eagles to victory. Here is the like to the Summit League thread http://www.whatifsports.com/forums/Posts.aspx?TopicID=473177&TopicsTimeframe=30

I am glad to be apart of an idea like this from the start. It will be cool down the road to look at this fantastic idea that I was apart and was in it from the start.
The other reason I left was because of the ridiculousness of the job qualifications. It is almost impossible to move up to a higher prestige school until you get your team so good you don't want to leave. In my opinion job qualifications is the first thing that needs to be changed.
Now to take a look at the conference I joined. Summit League!

Now it is time to look at the roster I took over. I cut one of the players before I made this thread. I want to thank troonboy for the players he recruited.

Season 68 Recruiting:

There weren't many recruits close to me this year that I liked. Also I was looking to recruit two posts this year but they were extremely weak in my area this year so I recruited two guards. I will likely redshirt one of the guards, but I have yet to figure out which one. My favorite player of this class is easily Victor Hawkins. He was the only recruit I liked within 180 miles of me. Overall this class was alright. I wasn't thrilled but there isn't much you can do when there aren't many local recruits that are good. Now lets take a look at each player.

Victor Hawkins
#158 OVR: #36 SF (*)
6'2". 202 lbs. 3.3 GPA
Trinity Academy in Wichita, KS (130 miles)

Proximity	Childhood Favorite
No preference	Providence

Potential

	Current Rating	Potential		Current Rating	Potential
Athleticism	56	High	Perimeter	73	High
Speed	58	Average	Ball Handling	46	High
Rebounding	37	Low	Passing	69	Average
Defense	48	High	Stamina	57	High
Shot Blocking	11	Average	Durability	10	High
Low-post	41	Average	FT Shooting		Low

Previous Season Stats

10	25	42.0	3.7	70.0	58.0	71.7	1.9	0.5	1.0

I had to battle with Creighton to get Victor. I made a last cycle move to pull ahead and eventually sign Victor. I promised him a starting job. Victor fits well in the press and will be able to be a good scorer for my team. He's the best recruit out of my first class here at Oral Roberts.

Johnny Wilkinson

#77 PG
6'1". 186 lbs. 2.4 GPA
Mcallen HS in Mcallen TX (700 miles)

Proximity	Childhood Favorite
No preference	Mississippi Valley St.

Johnny isn't a fantastic recruit but he is an athletic guard that will be able to play good defense. Not a fantastic point guard, but he may have to play that unless I recruit a good one the next couple of years.

Jeffery Walker
#230 OVR: #56 PF
6'7". 205 lbs. 3.2 GPA
Tecumseh HS in Tecumseh, OK (80 miles)

Proximity	Childhood Favorite
No preference	Virginia

Wasn't happy with the talent in the posts in my area but I liked this kids speed as a PF. Jeffery won't be much of a scorer but he will be a very fast PF compared to our competition.

Willie Geier
#79 PG
6'1". 195 lbs. 3.1 GPA
Gonzales HS in Gonzales, TX

Proximity	Childhood Favorite
Close to Home	Texas

I had another guard considering me but got poached late by Baylor so I signed this guy. Willie won't be much but he won't hurt us on the defensive end so that is always a plus.
