6-2. Judging from RPI/SOS of my future opponents, looks like I have a chance to win 20 and finish with a RPI damn near 200.

I know people complain about RS2 when taking a new team but is there a legit reason why non-cons have to be scheduled before takeover?
I know RS2 is generally a desolate wasteland of prospects, but I’ve gotten lucky a few times snagging decent players in D1 with “Late” preferences in battles with D2/D3 teams. Stevenson, the PG on my UT-Arlington team, was someone I signed after jumping in on during the 2nd cycle of RS2 after losing a battle, and he’s not half bad.

Moving this over here so I remember.

I'm running a little experiment at UNC Asheville since I'm changing D. I have 3 FR.

Tebo Offense-F Defense-D 3.11 GPA, 63 WE
Bonds Both-F 3.27 GPA, 81 WE
Buie Both-F 3.09 GPA, 47 WE

22 minutes in O, 25 in D. Tebo will start, Buie will get plenty of PT, Bonds won't play much.

Theoretically, with around an extra 95-100m of practice, one would think they players would improve just a little more in D(with the possible exception of Tebo as he starts higher).

Gonna try to update every 10 practices or so.
OK, after 5 practices(2 ex, 3 non-con), here we are:
Tebo: Off-D, Def-C-
Bonds: Off-D+, Def-D+
Buie: Off-D, Def-D

This makes sense, with GPA/WE factored in, but the extra 3 minutes in D is not making a difference.
UNC-A on a roll. 3 in a row!!!

First indication that the 3 extra minutes of D practice are making a difference:
Tebo: Off-D+. Def-C-
Bonds: Off-D+, Def-C-
Buie: Off-D+, Def-D-+
Non-con over(6-4)

Tebo: Off-C-, Def-C
Bonds: Off-C-, Def-C
Buie: Off-C-, Def-C-

The extra 36 minutes of defense has only made a difference with the 81 WE guy.

15 games in(9-6)

Tebo: Off-C, Def-C+
Bonds: Off-C, Def-C+
Buie: Off-C, Def-C

51 extra minutes of D prac has only made a difference with 81 WE player.

My wife just told me Asheville is the place for barbecue and microbreweries. It's heaven. Mike, don't let your players get distracted by the BEERS.

A softball buddy used to live there. He says it's microbreweries and a healthy gay population.

Did you sign Jason Bonds? or did the SIM give him to you? He doesn't play for my D3 teams....
1/7/2018 11:00 AM
Tebo is the only signee by me in RS2. Buie and Bonds were sim gifts. I think I can at least use Buie to eat a few minutes.

Is there a gay community there? Really.

Dude lived there so he should know.

Added 3 minutes to offense last night. All players had reached C+ in zone. With the extra 3(25 total) in triangle, 7 players jumped a 1/3 grade overnight. I imagine several were going to make the jump anyway. Will be switching O/D after next game. Still have 25% of my minutes at C in triangle. Wanted to wait until all were C+ but running out of time.

Today is the big day. Switching to Triangle/Zone. All but 2 players C+ or better in Triangle(253 minutes thru 18 games are at C), all are C+ or better in zone.

FWIW, he is why I prefer this version to the one I played many years ago. All I wanted was a chance to sign the guy.

Here's how it went:
He wasn't the guy I was referring to in the "Considering List" thread. I was moderate to AZ's VH ever since I offered minutes/starts, probably 4-5 cycles.. That's where we sat at 11 AM yesterday. I felt my only chance was to drop a bomb between that cycle and the 5 PM, first signing cycle. I used my CV and 11 HV. At the 5PM cycle, I was VH to his moderate. The SOB didn't sign. I assumed I was screwed. I believe AZ dropped me to mod(I may have been High) while he moved to VH on the 11 PM cycle. Dude didn't sign again. I figured I was out but left my AP and used one more HV. I ended up winning a 68/32,

Now I know some will say "Lucky bullshit!!!" or "Participation trophy!!!" but I'll tell you why it's not. I put myself in position to win at 5 PM. He didn't sign when I was the sole school above moderate. oldwarrior knocked me down on the 11 PM cycle. Then I won the guy at 5 AM. In my mind, I should have gotten the guy at 5 PM. That's the way I played it and it didn't work. OW played it to sign on the 11 PM cycle. That didn't work either. I just hoped to still be in the game on the 5 AM cycle. I was.
