Shoe makes me laugh so much with these posts

I’m almost embarrassed for you. But if you feel confident in this assertion, you should check with CS. Maybe you can be famous like deputy Benis, catch some nefarious secret dual-account wielders in the act.

I am actually embarrassed for you

Are you still here? You can go now. Let us know what you find out from CS though.

Didn't cs already confirm it's some losers alt but wouldn't say who's it is.

Why are you still here?

I don’t know, but if really you think it’s me, you should report your suspicion, then tell us all what you find out. I can’t wait to hear back!

Why am I still here in this conversation specifically? Mostly to see you weakly retread an insult and attempt to toss it back at me like hot potato, at this point. It’s amusing. What can I say? I’m a bit of a masochist.

Nice potato reference probably the only thing you've contributed this entire thread

I'm glad I was able to make it to the 5 year reunion. Just like old times.

At this point you should be where this guy is:

What do you mean? R0pey is just some new coach with 7 D3 teams and very strong feelings about how high D1 should operate, speculating about *other* people's alt IDs. Unless I am making another confidently incorrect assumption again, oops.

wait wait...

00ps.

when did i try to hide who i was? wizard knows exactly who i am.

so yes indeed you would be confidently incorrect in assuming this was some made up alt.. your specialty.

its just too fun watching you struggling to come up with logic for the game, hide your alt, and try to figure out who i am. you can really see the gears struggling to click with how much you have going on. if 0nly you could figure it out

Nice pun!

but back to the topic, there’s no reason to not grasp the fact of ‘things will even out, stay patient’ especially if you’re a vet like snafu. We all know how recruiting works. If you’re getting in situations where your the leader 70 to 30, keep doing it! That’s not a bad thing! It’s just a random chance that it didn’t work out this time. But it will!

i could understand having to explain this to new coaches. But this conversation doesn’t even seem real to me. “What am I doing wrong?” You’re not doing anything wrong! That’s pretty obvious to most people. It’s just a game. And you got the shaft in a few cases. But plain and simple it won’t always be that way. Nothing else needs to be said!

except for shoe and r0pey continuing the banter of course!!

Just lost two more battles as the underdog this time. A 40/60 to a DII and a 30/70 to a low DI. I get that it’s all about the numbers but imaging a recruit in the relay world choosing to go play at a small DII over UConn!

Die by the roll continue to die by the roll it's better this way

lol was that a Chris Paul bullet pass buzzing over your head? Nope. It was the sarcasm. Keep trying 0-0. You’ll get there eventually.

Well first, this goes back to the original advice. If you were on these guys early (and possibly invested a little in the case of the D1 battle, but usually not much), you’d likely have gotten them with very little effort at all. It is not hard at all to beat back lower division schools. Instead of investing 80 AP on your top guy every cycle (which is actually bad advice in most situations, IMO) you could have moved a few handful to 3 or 4 guys like this and had your pick of them. Early AP has huge impact for those recruits, but you have to be willing to “go ugly first.”

Also, it should go without saying, but being in the lead at VH is always better than trying to win from high. I know there are guys who are convinced the whole system is broken and the numbers are flipped or whatever, but they’re not. You’re just in a rut. Your team is stuck in a bad luck stretch. Trying to come from behind isn’t going to do much except spread your chances over more recruits (which isn’t necessarily terrible, depending on your team) and give you less control over who signs (which is pretty bad, IMO).

I forgot how bad you are at forum banter. At least your spud posts are amusing

A huge portion of the userbase quit and it's totally normal to lose 17+ rolls in a row but it's not the games fault it's all snafu's fault for being bad and unlucky

genius

Aaaahhh, never mind. Hoops forums aren't worth the aggravation.

Oh I get it now, your life just wasn’t complete was it? You really missed this. Don’t worry, I won’t tell them. You can relive 2016 all you want, just like the Bernie Bros.
