Why dont we just take out anything that makes the game remotely challenging. You seem to complain about everythign in the game (ineligibles, grades, injuries, rankings, etc...)

I'm not the only one to have taken this stance. Point is...grades are a total crapshoot and relatively unnecessary as far as the game is concerned. There are RL coaches out there that routinely graduate 0% of their players, professors give breaks to athletes, etc...academics is simply overkill in my opinion.

I think the issue is more of regeneration. In real life, players play JUCO near the university they want to attend so when you sign an ineligible he shouldn't be sent across the country to play JC ball.

In Knight I signed a 4-star center from Los Angeles while at Fresno St., he went JUCO in Iowa, not something reasonable like NV, AZ, UT or even CO but went 1800 miles away. I obviously lost him the next recruiting period. These scenarios are plain wrong and make no sense.

y'all just keep writing off nonqualifiers....they can be painful....but they can be bargains

OR a real winner with David Carofsky (or something like that) at Maryland - I did 45 home visits, then he did not enroll.....I had a pork like reaction of dismay....until I saw that he went juco close to us.....cycle two of recruiting the next season he was considering us after minor effort - so I signed a highly rated guy with under $2000 in that season's budget and got a fresh 15K for his slot.....

bargains if they stay close to home... which is the point of this thread, they often don't.

or often bargains if they enroll - but yes, big awful, painful disasters when they go juco and go far away....

Bruce Eanes had a nice 3 season career at Stanford. Good times.

Remember, Colonels wants this game to play like his HR derby game. One variable that would be obtained from one output from a true RNG would be perfect!

Good job pork, even after missing this months ago!

My wife laughed at this post after asking, "what the hell are you laughing at."

post his numbers if you got them grecian. want to see what pork missed out on.

He did nothing special statistically, namshub. He ended up as a 900+ SF who could really rebound(he was around 85 or so). Team went to the F4 in two of his three seasons.

He ended up playing a lot of PF during one of the seasons. He was the No. 44 pick in the draft. He really was a stupid player. I had to give him tons of study hall and his iqs progressed real slowly.
