Well loyal readers, things are going pretty well for Wichita State and the MVC as well. We dropped a tight one to Michigan at home to close out the noncon season. We actually had a lead in the second half, but they were too strong for my sophomores. Speaking of them, they have all improved a ton since I recruited them.
Macy has really been playing well, and his ratings are really looking good for a SF.
74 Ath, 76 Spd, 49 reb, 74 def, 56 LP, 58 Per, 26 BH, 71 Pass....very balanced.
Mount is my 6th man right now with 80 ath, 56 speed, 75 reb, 70 def, 85 blk, 70 LP and 45 Per and 39 passing. Backs up at SF and PF. Even let him shoot a few 3s.
Pierce has become a good center. I realize now how lucky I was to get him with a D+ prestige. 57 ath, 43 spd, 96 reb, 81 def, 93 blk, 95 LP, 28 Pass, C FT.
Crowe has been the one disappointment. I expected him to be better than Pierce, but it has not happened...yet. His low WE is causing him to improve at a glacial pace, despite starting most of the games for 1.5 years. Anyway, he isn't maxed out in anything yet, (neither are any of my recruits in anything other than FT shooting) so I hope he can continue his slow improvements for a while yet.
Crowe = 49 Ath, 53 Spd, 86 Reb, 83 Def, 86 Blk, 82 LP, 48 Pass, B- FT...just 5-10 pts behind Pierce on all of the 4 cores, but quicker and I still think has the potential to be more athletic. We'll see.
Won my first 2 conference game on the road, one vs. a Sim and one vs. a human. Now I have to play Northern Iowa who has a 9 RPI and is about 50-60 pts better than me in the core areas. Not too much hope.
