NCAA Top Gun Draft

[Marmel]

This is a snake draft.

The order of the draft is as follows:

1) tucker
2) Marmel
3) ragone
4) jimlynch
5) digamma
6) henry
7) shorty


Just pick in this thread and list the player you are picking and his team, please.

This is pretty informal, but if you have to step away, send me a pm with a few picks and I will take care of you. If anybody fails to pick in a resonable amount of time, you will be skipped.

If you are skipped you are allowed to pick at any time after that.

Any questions?

tucker, start us off!

[sony]

Ehh? I want in on this. haha

[Marmel]

sure. check the thread down below, sign in and pick a letter. I will get you in since nobody picked yet.

[Marmel]

bump. tucker is getting skipped in a bout 5 minutes. :( Nice start.

[Marmel]

tucker is skipped.

tucker can make his pick at any time now.


I will take Bogans (Kentucky)

Ragone is up.

[digamma]

at what point do we start skipping others or round up other participants?

Neither Ragone nor JimLynch appear to be on-line.

[korme]

I say about a half hour. This really sucks, because Marm told them the time. Oh well, better plays for me!!

[sony]

Pick a letter? I'm not quite sure what you meant... but uh..

I'll pick S?

Where am I suppose to sign in?

[Marmel]

I guess about 20 minutes or so would be fair. Everybody was aware they I asked them to sign up only if they would be around most of the evening.

[sony]

And the whole purpose is... to select the best available players?

[Marmel]

sony, go to this thread:

Sign in (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6689)

and pick a letter that has not been picked yet. I will squeeze you in approprately. We will need you to be around most of the evening.

[Marmel]

dola....

sony, i outlined the idea in there. Basically, you want to pick players who will score the most points in the entire tourney. So, the best players from the best teams would make sense.

[Marmel]

ragone is skipped.

jimlynch is up.


I am going for a quick bit to eat, so if he doesn't pick in about 20 minutes, skip him and move on.

Remember, if you have been skipped, you can come back and make your pick(s) at anytime.

This is not going as smoothly as I hoped. Oh well.

[Radii]

i just signed up if this is still on!

[korme]

Ok, Radii, since Marm is away, for now, assume you are in the 7th spot, and I'll drop down to the 8th spot.. if Marm gets back and tells you that you are higher go for it.. I just know I'm last!

So for right now, assume you are after henry.

[lynchjm24]

Hollis Price

[digamma]

jimlynch got here just in time.

I'll take Josh Howard

[tucker342]

SHIT!!!


So I can pick now right?????

I pick Jason Gardner of Arizona

sorry:(:(:(:(:(

[korme]

Ok, we don't actually know Radii or sony's slots, but we know they aren't last so the fairest thing for the end of the 1st round is this: henry, then Radii, then sony, then I am up.

[sony]

Okay, I'm just waiting for info

[Radii]

okeedokee

[sony]

So far, here are the players that are taken...

1 Keith Bogans - Kentucky - Marmel
2 Hollis Price - Oklahoma - lynchjm24
3 Josh Howard - Wake Forest - digamma
4 Jason Gardner - Arizona - tucker342
5 Carmello Anthony - Syracuse - Henry
6 Raddi's Pick
7 Sony's Pick
8 Shorty3281's Pick




Note: If there are any errors, let me know please. :D

Carmelo Anthony

[Radii]

bah I was gonna grab Anthony.

I'll take TJ Ford from Texas.

[korme]

Damn, Carmelo was mine, mine, mine!

[sony]

I'll take Nick Collison of Kansas

[sony]

1 Keith Bogans - Kentucky - Marmel
2 Hollis Price - Oklahoma - lynchjm24
3 Josh Howard - Wake Forest - digamma
4 Jason Gardner - Arizona - tucker342
5 Carmello Anthony - Syracuse - Henry
6 TJ Ford - Texas - Radii
7 Nick Collison - Kansas - sony
8 Shorty3281's Pick

[korme]

Damn, Collison was my backup to Anthony!

[korme]

1 PPG less, but I'll go with his teammate Kirk Hinrich.

[Radii]

mine was a tossup between collison/ford, but I think texas has a better chance of going through their easy bracket than kansas does in the west.

[Radii]

2nd round is in reverse order right so shorty again?

[korme]

And I'm up again.

Keith Langford, Kansas.

Can you tell I think Kansas is going places?

[korme]

sony is up

[Marmel]

OK, the draft order you guys came up with is good.

Keep it going!

Dinner was good. Mmmm......Chinese.......

[sony]

I'll take Drew Nicholas of Maryland

My Squad
1 - Nick Collison - Kansas - 0 pts
2 - Drew Nicholas - Maryland - 0 pts

[korme]

What would you do without me Marm?

[korme]

radii up, then henry

[Radii]

salim stoudamire, Arizona

[henry296]

J.J. Reddick, Duke

[korme]

next - digamma
then - jimmy lynch
then - marmel
then - tucker
--
then - tucker
then - marmel

ragone did not pick in round 1, so he can pick whenever. if he comes back, put him in between tucker and marmel.

this is the correct order, after the 3rd edit.

[henry296]

Lynch is up.

[digamma]

should be me, right?

David West, Xavier

[korme]

the original order, as the top does not have all of the participants.

1) tucker
2) Marmel
3) ragone
4) jimlynch
5) digamma
6) henry
7) radii
8) sony
9) shorty

lynch is up. see, now this makes it easier.

[Marmel]

thanks for keeping this somewhat organized shorty. You should be a commissioner for an oootp league or something.

[digamma]

Are we going to do 4 rounds?

[tucker342]

Marmel, did u get this idea from the Sporting News, cause in the March 17th issue, they suggested the exact same office pool.

[lynchjm24]

Dwyane Wade - Marquette

[Marmel]

digamma, 4 would be good, i think.

tucker, actually on my syracuse fan forum somebody was talking about entering one of these.

[lynchjm24]

Russo has been in one of these for like 3 or 4 years.

[Marmel]

Since ragone is still not here, we are skipping. He can now make 2 picks whenever he wants to.


Ben Gordon (UConn)

[lynchjm24]

Ben Gordon (UConn)

You know I didn't pick Anthony - you could have left me Gordon.

[Marmel]

Oak-a-4 is still there.

[Marmel]

dola....... tucker is up for 2 picks, followed by me again.

[Marmel]

if all you guys can be here for a 5th round, i would like to do it where you have to pick a player from a double digit seeded team in that round. Thoughts?

[korme]

1) tucker
2) Marmel
3) ragone
4) jimlynch
5) digamma
6) henry
7) radii
8) sony
9) shorty

Yeah and you pick again before I do. Please don't take Mike Hayes.

[Marmel]

I think Justin Brown is my 3rd round pick.

[digamma]

I like the fifth round idea.

[lynchjm24]

Most UConn fans would rather have Chad Wise.
I think they might be starting to give up on Justin.
Now I really wish Fairfield beat Manhattan, I'd love to get my hands on Ajou (Ajou) Deng.

[tucker342]

With my second pick: I select Dahntay Jones out of Duke

[Radii]

i like the 5th round idea.

[korme]

Originally posted by tucker342

tucker, you are up again

[tucker342]

to start round number three
I select: Matt Carroll out of Notre Dame


Marmel, you're up.

[lynchjm24]

Can we pick our double digit seeded guy earlier then the fifth round?

[henry296]

5th round sounds like a great idea.

[tucker342]

5 rounds sounds good to me.

[Marmel]

jim, you can pick whoever you want in rounds 1-4, but the 5th round HAS to be a double digit seed. So, I will answer NO to what I thiink you are asking.

Can I count Boston College as a 10 seed? Or do you just automatically say no to everything?

[Marmel]

I'll go with Gaines, from Louisville

[korme]

15 picks in between mine seems like ions..

[Radii]

I'll update scores after every day, or round.

[Radii]

Did Shorty get a list of double digit seed players too? (gotta sleep soon) :)

[Marmel]

yeah, one sec.

[Radii]

dola - err from lynchjm that is

[tucker342]

so do I have to pick one player from at least a 10 seed

[Marmel]

Jermaine Boyette - Weber St

That is lynch's pick for round 5

[Marmel]

tucker, you actually have 1 regular pick and 1 pick from a 10+ seeded team. Make your choices whenver you want now.

[tucker342]

okay

[tucker342]

Gerald Fitch of Kentucky is my 4th pick

[henry296]

Fitch was taken.

Marmel,

Can we make our last pick out of order?

Todd

[tucker342]

and my final pick is Ike Diogu from Arizona State(who is a ten seed)

[Marmel]

At this point, I am leaving, so just pick. :) Like I said, this is going to be pretty informal due to the lateness.

[Marmel]

shorty's final pick

Luis Flores, Manhattan (14 seed upset city)

[Radii]

I'm taking Ugonaa Onyekwe - penn

[tucker342]

opps instead of Fitch I pick Julius Page out of Pittsburgh

[henry296]

Radii - that was going to be my pick since Penn is my alma mater.

That's okay since I did it to you a couple of times. I'll take Brett Blizzard from UNCW.

Todd

[digamma]

my last pick, from the double digit seed is Clay Tucker from Wisc. Milwaukee.

[korme]

bumpage

[Marmel]

Too late to pick now shorty.

[korme]

Yeah, just making sure everyone saw the finals picks and so we don't forget about this.

[henry296]

Team Lynch moves into the early lead, since he was the only one with players in Thursday's early games with 15 points from Dewyne Wade of Marquette.

Todd

[tucker342]

DAMN!!!!!!

Gardner has only scored 4 points:(:(:(
