Exhibition or OOC game idea: Senior Day
Take a game (probably EXH) to play against someone where both of you commit to starting all your seniors, no matter how bad they are. Give them a sendoff to thank them for their 4 years of service.
Could match top senior classes against each other for supremacy, or lower level matchups of busts to see what might have been.
Thoughts?

L31 - This team that had never been ranked higher than #91 prior to last season, which finished last season #46, is now ranked #15 and has rolled to two EXH victories over Pasadena and LA. I should have my pick of local High local, High win pref recruits this year, if there are any.
L34 - Won my 14th(!) in a row. Rolled into the CT title game, beating #227 by 53(!) and #145 by 19. Unless #133 upsets me in the title game, there will be only one team from C19 in the NTT. They have already upset the #2 and #3 seeds in the CT, so I'm not dismissing them. Only ranked #37 despite being 14-3, but our schedule has been very weak. I wish I'd known the season would turn out this way, because, like L31, I could own any high win pref, high local pref in region recruits. Oh well.
L37 - We're getting good when (and probably because) the rest of C30 seems to be down. We're #15 after starting 6-2 (3-1). In today's win, FR Jarrod Sullivan, getting a start at PG, was the SOTG #2 with a line of 27 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and zero TO's (8-15 shooting, 3-5 from 3 and 8-9 from FT). He's been inconsistent, but he's prone to occasional big games like this.
Anybody else in on the only 33rd most recruited poor scouted +12 player in L37?

L34- Washington is ranked #18 with a 17-1 record and our only loss coming to #1 Arlington. I feel we are getting slept on a bit with a 5 seed in the NTT, but our conference is very weak so it doesn't help us out much even though our OOC games were solid.
We'll get our 5-12 matchup against Vulp's Chattanooga team in a rematch of the first game of the season, which we won 82-75.
They are a solid team led by their wing players, but lack the height to compete with us seriously on the glass. Our stars, 1 time CPOY PF David Brown and 2 time CPOY PG Jonathan Mancuso, have led us all season and we're getting good production from sharpshooting Caleb Bryant. Gonna be a tough match, but we're really looking to prove we can wrestle with the best this tourney.

We were upset by Bowling Green in the CT final. They beat the top 3 seeds in the CT to steal a NTT berth (the second for C19). This probably bumped me from being a 8/9 seed and a better NTT matchup. I really do feel like we got the short straw in this draw, since Washington is one of only 3 teams to beat in the regular season. I tweaked my lineup since our first matchup and won 14 straight after that, and Washington only out-rebounded us by 3, so I think we have a real shot. But, I do feel like we got the worst possible first round matchup.

Early L34 recruiting preview. Still two weeks away, but I'm bored at work.
I have wound up with 6(!) clear leads, and 2 ties. Needs: Primary need is a starting guard. Strong can play either SG or PG well, so anyone who can play either one of those well is our main need. A little more size would be good, too. We're losing 3 guards (6-2 to 6-4), so adding size shouldn't be difficult.
Ties:
Leonard Brown (50), 6-0: F scout says EE+G+G-E- with likely G INT (3.60/56) (+8 or +9). HS stats (PG): 23/3.6/4.2/1.4/.6/2.2. 3-way tie. Prefs: G-PP. Recruit is C18 and wants to stay close to home, and not much other preference. We are C19, as are both tied teams. Looks like a toss up. Probably a true 33% chance of signing.
Aiden Zellner (71), 6-4: F scout says G+G-E-G-E- with likely G or F INT (2.88/48) (+7 or +8). HS stats (SG): 22.1/5/3.6/1.1/.4/.6. 2-way tie. Prefs: F-N+F+. Recruit is C32 and has a slight pref to go far from home. Tied team is C29 (in-region) so I have an advantage there. Recruit also wants to make an impact, and I'm losing 3 guards to clear the way for him. I think I'll win this guy. His 6:1 A/TO ratio means he, like Strong, can probably play either guard position. Perfect. Of the ties, I prefer Zellner.
Leads:
Joel Cummings, 6-4: G scout says: G-EG-PN+ with likely E INT (3.84/67) (+6/-3). HS stats (SG): 14/4.8/5/1.2/.7/1.4. I don't mind the P rebounding for a guard, but the N athleticism is disappointing. Another guy with good A/T ratio (3.6) that could slot in at PG.
Jonathon Roberts, 6-9: F scout says: F-F-FGE with likely G INT (3.07/46) (+4). HS stats (PF): 10.5/8.1/3.4/.7/1.5/1.1. Looks like a depth big, which I need. Another nifty 3+ A/T ratio, though. I bet his hands are better than F.
Rowan Bishop, 6-10: G scout says: GF-F-G+P+ with likely F or G INT (2.61/56) (+2 or +3/-1). HS stats (C): 14.8/11.1/1.2/.3/1.4/1. Ratings don't look great, but he's a productive double-double guy in HS. I think he'll be a startable big. He'll have the most PP's of my leads.
Samuel Singleton, 6-4: F scout says: G-GP+G-E- with likely G INT (3.28/45) (+6/-1). HS stats (SF): 16.9/4.5/.5/1.5/.3/1.6. Solid ratings for a clear lead. That P in hands is disappointing for a 6-4 guy, limiting him to SG/SF.
Jacob Johnson, 6-5: F scout says: FF+G+PN+ with likely E INT (3.21/68) (+3/-3). HS stats (SF): 8.7/5.3/6.3/.1/.3/1.7. Only in on him as a bPG candidate. I like the 3.7 A/T ratio. 6.3 assists at SF could translate to 8 or more at PG.
Christopher Ordonez, 6-3: E scout says G-GPG-E with likely G INT (2.7/58) (+6/-1). HS stats (PG): 20.6/3.8/1/2/.5/4.2. Obviously a SG only at 6-3, since he's a TO machine. But this could be a good player. I JUST gained the lead on him. He was an ignored player I spent my last Scholarship on just to see his recruitment status, and found that the leader only had 16 RP's on him. So I maxed him and took the lead.
So, this has the potential to be a good to great recruiting class for Chattanooga. If I win a tie, I will at least have a candidate to fill my one vacant starting position. I'll land some good depth and other potential sneaky starter candidates otherwise. Guaranteed no walkons.
