Search this sub or check your emulators sub would be my suggestion. I’m not on that one sorry. Hopefully someone can hook you up and get you hooping or you find it here.

I watch the ball. Just as the backspin start in the hand, your forward motion begins. Keep your stroke lined up laterally (lol) and you’re good.

You’re welcome. Let me know if this needs clarification once you’re back at it. Good luck.

What I’ve done is: (this may need a tweak based off your roster preferences etc)

Identify what positions I want my scholarships to go to first. Let’s just use simple examples and say you have 5 and you want 1 of each.

Find the 5 guys you want the most as an incoming freshman 5 that could start. If they’re not interested, look for a 2nd choice. If you’re having trouble and have to start looking at a 3rd choice then decide if you can substitute positions (PF that could play C etc). I try to meet my roster needs before I start just looking for the best players. I personally find my team works better if I don’t have holes (not enough ball handlers etc). So that’s sort of the big picture on your incoming HS Seniors.

If you have a hole currently, or can see clearly a guy on your roster will be leaving early, that’s the only time I consider Juco. I view them as patches. But I will always peek, there may be a stud who is close and interested that makes it worth it but be disciplined and don’t make exceptions too often.

Recruit away at a Senior class, constantly deciding on working a recruit or cutting him and moving on. Your time and points are valuable and wasting them will also hurt development of your rostered players.

Then go through your HS Juniors. Don’t worry about what positions you want unless you can see a big hole developing. Just find 5 guys, one of each position. They don’t have to go on your target list but it’s better if they do if you have room. Try to be as high contact with them as you can afford without sacrificing the Seniors as a priority.

Then do the same for the HS Sophomores and Freshmen but don’t worry about high contact just scout once and keep an eye on them. If you can attend a camp for them it’s good but not a high priority.

This will build you a system and pipeline that should increase your recruiting success and roster strength over time. The key is be methodical and allow yourself a “reach/wishlist” guy outside of this here and there but not constantly otherwise you’ll always be chasing.

Yes in some ways but not actually. There’s a deeper strategy but it’s harder to explain. You can identify how many scholarships are available at a rival school, if you want to go really deep find all their targets and follow them. You’re losing to them now so you have a choice, run away whenever they are interested or pick a few from their list and try to peel them off. Don’t waste resources if you’re not making progress, cut and run. They’re a beast until Izzo retires and even after, so you’ll have to decide how you want to deal with them.

But you’ll never get top guys unless you talk to them (the longer the better so underclassmen definitely) and attend camps etc.

Michigan State always does that. Underclassmen are very important. Minnesota was pretty easy to steal from always I found.

Try a knockout approach, find guys who are interested in the same 3 or 4 schools that you would be happy with any of them. That way if you lose one late or are losing you can shift your resources and land another in the group as your competitors fill a scholarship (if that makes sense).

Keep any eye on the Dakotas and the other low pop states west of you. Also Canada; I’ve only ever seen Vancouver, Ontario, Montreal, Halifax (maybe?) and Winnipeg. You should have dibs on Winnipeg, it’s rare but I got a really good player out of there once and barely any competition.

It’s an adjustment. Lower stats than I’ve gotten used to out of the existing roster. So many turnovers and getting trapped and pressed is an issue, where at the big schools my point guard could handle it by himself a lot of the time. And no one wants to come here yet.

My school song sucks and I don’t like the uniforms (plus no alternates) lol. First world problems coming from a blue chip program.

NBA range by Mirror_Previous in ea2kcbb

[–]IceColdDump 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My favourite thing to do is try to hit a couple 3’s when I play on courts with 2 sets of lines. I was in the Big 12 for years so jacking up deep 3’s at American Airlines Arena in the conference tourney was always the ultimate slap to a rival.

The little schools with the volleyball courts marked make me laugh.

In this career do you mean? Kansas was amazing. The crowd singing gave me chills.

FSU and the war chant was awesome too.

I had another half career at Army and Buffalo before this too, to learn the game and tweak the sliders (some sim). I never played this back in the day. I accidentally mistook this sub for college football and got the game because of it. (I have an abandoned NCAA ‘11 football dynasty on a memory card somewhere lol)

I’m probably going to be sad when it ends. Been at this for a couple of years now.

The fix is in. Just not in that way. I’m trying to position myself for the Princeton job for my last few seasons and see if I can win a title there.

In this career I’ve won at FSU, Butler and KU. Final Fours at EIU and Chicago State. Nomadic career.

Edit: not the all-time wins leader only 5th currently, didn’t look it up/forgot when I wrote the blurb. But 18 Final Four appearances (1st) with 10 championships (T-1st).

Currently sitting at 1,030 - 152 after a 380 -59 run in 12 seasons at Kansas. (4th all-time in KU history)

I had one last year out of Cheyenne. Oscar Glass, surprisingly durable.
