This guy just got drafted like two seasons ago in Naismith. D2 pool player

Geez. That's an insane DII guy.

Haha, that is a sea of green.

Is that the greatest hidden gem prospect of all time, my goodness, a sea of green that ended up the high end of the green spectrum, just insane luck!

No upper classmen.

Run a team that never carries any juniors or seniors.

In Tark right now St. Johns is arguably the best team in the country and they have no seniors and only 4 juniors--not quite the same but impressive to me.

Has a D1 team ever won back to back titles with no seniors?

not that i know of, and i seriously doubt it - but it is extremely hard to verify

Make the Sweet 16/Elite 8 with no players on the Draft board.

I did this with Michigan in the conference we share, mully!

Could you win a D1 title with no drafted players?

seems like we mostly felt this was pretty darn difficult... this season in tark, shoe's team is playing for the title and they have nobody on the big board at all! whether they win or not, its definitely very cool. shoe's style is great for making the most of less-than-stellar talent, i'm sure he is doing a lot of things right to make this possible -

When was the last team to win a natty in lower divisions with triangle/zone?

Not that uncommon really. Lilspike just recently did that. First coach that came to mind.

I have multiple champions with triangle zone

did this with Yale recently. no one way anywhere close to big board

Anyways, my take on this is making a D1 S16 with no projected D1 players would be the coolest thing ever. TJ tried this... I kind of want to try it as well

Update, I'll jump into Big West/Big Sky in Tark tomorrow and give this a run

6 players with A+ IQ in press and 5 players with A+ IQ in fastbreak.

real question... do you run press to maximize results for talent or slowdown man with 3 walk-ons with the d2 guys? I'm leaning press but there's an argument for playing man, taking tons of walk-ons, and only getting the D2 cream of the crop

wasn't there a coach at D3 Thomas in one of the worlds that only recruited players with last name Thomas? Imagine winning a title with that team

Back in season 39 in Wooden, gomiami1972 got to the D3 PIT at Johnson State with 12 players named Johnson. That team was all Johnson seasons 39-42.
