BigRed looks like a major player....

Going to take a step back this season, and take advantage of the inflated player market and sell
Some of my players to make a quick buck and start training more players.. And we'll see how that goes

Even though I will be rebuilding, I am still looking forward to a fun competitive season! Good luck everybody else

My player salary jumps were as expected.... The trainee class was disappointing to say the least so this year I will be rounding out luwa. Capping him.

As well as prepare branch, Clark, and marks more for higher divisions.

Speaking as a (self appointed) Professional (fact here) SF trainer...
he's 19, kinda blows, Marks was an 1100ish Salary guy when I started with him, you work with what you got.

Defenses are great starting points, period. SB at 1... eh, not an issue, just means he'll stick to SG/SF area...

I would start him 1v1 Forwards, to get the handling and driving up to about a 17 combined between the 2... While this is happening, Jumpshot should hit about average/respectable, and IS about Strong..

Maybe a cross training pop elsewhere, hard to predict that.

From there cause there'll still be time left this season to train... (what are your other trainees) Go OD/ID whichever your team struggles with more/better fits the other trainees...

Overall the guy looks really good. His salary may be 2634, but its a VERY balanced salary... He's prob closer to playing like a 4K guy. Bonus, his pitiful experience.

Edit:
Also, maybe 1 week passing somewhere, again, if it helps your other trainees too. Passing trains fairly steady throughout age, so not a huge thing, but typically you want to get his passing to 7-8 area, and he's hella close already.

Edit2:
Looked at your team, vet guards... 2 kinda trainable (no harm in it) guys of big-man caliber.
So go Id/IS alternate between the 2 after the 1v1 training is done. I say alternate, because again, the 1 in SB means you don't want to totally transform him into a PF/C kinda guy because it'll be more disadvantageous defensively with that. Where as, the IS scoring helps anywhere on the floor.

The other alternative is those 2 other big guys you get, train OD with him, and get some pops there which help bigmen defend against passes into the interior slightly better, as well as contest the few jumpers they see better.

good luck everyone!

Season 27 is here.

Looks like the Oreos will be fighting to stay in the league this season. A lot of teams are loaded this year, and the Oreos are still in rebuilding mode.

The main goals
-Develop the core 4 (Fortier Dettlaff,Volpato, La Pape)
-Finish in top 5 of conference
-Finish with a plus .500 record (at least 11-11)

All we can do is try our best. Give it our all. Let's get it.

The Thomas twins (no relation) are entering the final seasons of their contracts and will likely be gone by playoffs...

Mike Williams has solidified himself a starter's spot, and expects to be contending for MVP this season.
Donald Luwa is entering the prime of his career, from her on out, its go time for him ALL the time!
Eric Marks said he wanted to work on improving his defense so that he can be of more use to the team.
Sean Clark looks to expand on a solid season last year.
Burt Branch, looks to get LEAGUE playing time this year after being kept in secret from you all last season. Be warned... Branch is a VERY good player... *hint* He's listed as a PG... but I am a SF trainer, AND he's 6'9... Just what kind of skill set does he have?


And the 3 wildcards... Albert, Goodrich and Laughlin, just what can be expected from them?

an already dangerous team is going to get a lot tougher and scarier come playoff time... Also, with the new trainer I'm making an additional 50-60K a week compared to last season now.

I'm going to be working on getting Davila into shape for the U21. Sherrod had an outside shot at being a sub but is doubtful.

I hope Davilla Makes it!
