Gentleman this program in its current state sits at a crossroads. Lots of prior success in continental competition, and on paper some interesting pieces to work with ( particularly in Solomon's) but there would need to be some significant "coaching up" to snag gold. Nothing insurmountable but Egypt in particular has built a solid roster. A couple of other squads have a couple of monster players developing though as I expected the continent would be hard pressed to collectively put out a lineup that would make a dent internationally. But in regards to how things currently sit I think this is still a squad with enough in place to get to their accustomed position of making the elimination phase, as to what happens then will just come down to how this team develops as the season progresses.
I looked at a few box scores of some prior contests from the distant past and I can tell there has been times where this community has been collectively engaged. My goal is to get back to that. But the talent roster is splintered around the globe and the current level of interest in the community seems to have ebbed. First goal if elected is to reach out in an effort to regain that fire. Second goal is to not just identify what players in the pipeline have potential for the future but to make sure the managers who have those players are actively looking to build said players, no use in pining for improvement from players left to languish.
Third goal, and perhaps what I do best, is to make it fun to follow this team. If elected expect a significant increase in level of engagement socially in terms of using the press releases coming out. And I also would be more active in your forums as it looks like that is something that resonates with your countrymen. Plus I strongly encourage those who run across this missive to join the USA discord community, perhaps you already have your own but the crew out there is very welcome to anyone who seeks to connect with others who are part of the buzzer beater community no matter where they hail from

Hotels accross your land are preparing for the influx of visitors for the upcoming competition. Vuvusela manufacturers are gearing up production, btw I strongly encourage our fans to use those, particularly when our opponents are shooting free throws. And hopes are high all over South Africa for a return to form, I hope to be the one to serve as the frontman for that journey.
Thanks for your consideration
