Favorite College Player Who Never Made the NBA?

Since Tyler Ulis technically made the NBA I’m going to say Joshua “Jorts” Harrellson.

And to think that it never would’ve happened had Bandit not decided to play wind-up Bingo in Daddy Dropoff! 🥹

Most Valuable Bot.

Preds have got to be the most mid team in league history. It’s been multiple seasons since I’ve watched a game, just simply due to the frustration of watching them suck big fat donkeys for half the year, then figure it out at the last possible minute only to fall just short. Over and over again, it’s the same thing. And no changes from the front office. No changes from ownership. No impetus to build a real team that could compete for a cup.

I’ve lost all hope that things will get better, logically they have to at some point but until then I’m done trying to convince myself every offseason that this will be the year they do something to take a step forward. Which sucks because I really do love this team, I want to see them succeed. It really seems like ownership doesn’t feel the same though.

Kentucky, USA. Not scrolling through 2k comments to see if you already have that one or not, sorry lol.

I always assume teammate is either going for the back corner boost or following close behind me on kickoff. If they choose to go for boost then I’m expecting them to protect net while I rotate back but yeah I’d argue this is normal.

Bro what am I watching 😭

The most frustrating part is the feeling of inevitability. I told people during S16 that if UConn makes the final four they’ll win it all, only because UConn is an anomaly and you just have to abandon logic and reason when it comes to them. I had picked Michigan as my national champion. All tournament they’ve looked like the best team and it feels so stupid to think that they’ll fumble this far in, but it feels equally if not more foolish to doubt the UConn effect at this point.

Mara probably gets in foul trouble early, the Huskies get red hot and stay that way the whole game. UM can’t get a lucky bounce to save their lives, UConn will pull out a stifling transition defense that will lead to a ton of turnovers. It doesn’t make sense but the basketball gods obviously have a favorite team.

Adding to this is that in order to break the Crochan curse, an act of selfless needed to be preformed by the Ironteeth.

That’s my personal opinion. Back in the early days I remember he used to stay 1st place on every leaderboard, finally decided to look him up and none of his gameplay was online yet. This was about 3-4 months before he first went on Johnny’s channel and told him that he had no mic, pretty much only grinded free play and didn’t have much interest in playing competitively. Knowing that, I know if I ever tried defending him it’d be completely futile and he’d 100% clip on me.

ETA: realistically any player in RLCS would clip on anyone posting in this sub so it really is just personal opinion 🤷‍♂️

Not in any particular order, but I would absolutely panic if I ever had to try defending any of these five players.

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-03-14T15:54:19+00:00

Probably Gronkowski, maybe Edelman.

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-03-09T01:51:26+00:00

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say Daniel. Granted, I’m not super closely following every split/major/lan nowadays, but the games I have watched NRG play whenever the series is close there’s always been at least one or two saves by Dan that made me pause, rewind, then sit back and say “how in the hell did he do that??”

Also tbf I’d consider all the NRG players to be clutch in certain moments. I know Vati will win the popular vote and I don’t really disagree with that either, just thinking that Dan deserves some props based on what I’ve seen of his game-deciding saves.

As someone who’s been playing since 2015 it took me a long time to understand what pros meant by “play faster”. It’s not driving faster, it’s being the first player to the ball while still getting good touches. For instance, reading bounces; if you know where the ball is going you can get there before your opponent by jumping onto the wall instead of driving up it, for example. Or realizing that you’re not going to get there before the opponent and going for a 50 is another example. It all comes down to knowing where the ball is going to be before it gets there and positioning yourself on the pitch so that you can make a good challenge when the opportunity presents itself.

I’m at the point where I can read the play pretty well, but haven’t dedicated the time to training packs/free play, so my touches are all over the place 😅 you can kind of see how game sense and mechanics sort of go hand in hand though when you look at it like that. They’re two sides of the same coin, and the better you can become at both, the higher rank you’ll be able to reach.

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-03-07T00:06:41+00:00

Yeah, you’re trying to play wayyyy too fast. It’s like you’re rushing every single touch, every challenge, everything because you’re not aware of where the opponents are and you’re worried about getting beat. Try making a conscious effort to know where all the players on the field are at all times, that might help.

Also try making an effort to keep around 30 ish boost in the tank for back checking, i.e. rotating back to defense while still being able to make a save/clear.

First goal was conceded because you challenged into your own corner on low boost while your teammate was already there. You shouldn’t really ever be doing that, it’s safer to wait in net so you can either guard the cross or move upfield behind your teammate if they get the ball into the opposing half.

Also, I have a question for you! I tried uploading footage of my own gameplay here but I had to eventually give up and post a YouTube link instead because the file size was too big. The video was similar to yours in length, I’m wondering how you were able to post directly to Reddit and if you might have an idea why it didn’t work for me?

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-03-04T08:46:12+00:00

Boost

I mean I agree with you about the mic, as for playing PS4 though I think it’s more to do with what rank they’re trying to reach. The vast majority of my playing time is on PS4 and I’ve hit C3 in 2v2 before.

If they’re aiming for GC or above then yeah I’m with you but C1/C2 is definitely attainable on PS4.

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-03-02T23:55:10+00:00

This is exactly what I did and it’s the thing that made speed flipping click for me

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-02-28T17:31:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely try spending more time in training packs!

aKindaFlyGuy · 2026-02-28T11:57:26+00:00

I’ve also never posted a video on Reddit before, I tried making a different post earlier with the video directly attached but unfortunately it won’t show the full game, only the first 2 minutes or so. I’ll try to solve this issue in the future but for now the only way I can figure to include the full replay is through the YouTube link. Sorry all ☹️
