2016 Postseason
With 3 of our 4 FOFC teams in the postseason, let's see how their teams do. Although none of these 3 FOFC players will be playing, they still want to know how their teams fare, so let's get to it.
PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn)- redshirting
3/18/16- NCAA Tournament First Round vs. (8) Missouri (L 75-56). The Tigers just didn't compete in their final 2 games of the season, which won't make coach Pearl happy at all.
C Jace Hunter (Xavier)- redshirting
3/18/16- NCAA Tournament First Round vs. (10) Stanford (W 61-58)
3/20/16- NCAA Tournament Second Round vs. (2) UConn (L 64-51).
The effort was there against UConn, in fact the Musketeers led at the half, but UConn came storming out in the second half and put it away early.
PF Ivan Carrillo (North Carolina)- redshirting
3/18/16- NCAA Tournament First Round vs. (10) Mississippi St. (W 77-70)
3/20/16- NCAA Tournament Second Round vs. (2) Memphis (L 86-76).
How is it that Memphis is ranked #1 in the nation yet only got a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament? That seems way odd to me. On a bright note, the Tarheels played even in the second half, as the halftime deficit was 10.
2015-2016 Season Wrap-Up
Next Years Recruits
For those that have signed to a school for next season, let's take a look at how their teams fared.
PF Eden James- Eden is going to Boston College, which finished 17-14 overall and 6-10 in ACC play, missing out on the postseason.
PG Al Mighty- Al is headed to Oklahoma St., which finished 19-15 overall and 7-9 in the Big 12. The Cowboys got the #4 seed in the NIT West Region and lost their opening game 57-56 to (5) Northeastern.
SF Chester Smith- Chester is going to Maryland, which finished 32-6 overall and 11-5 in ACC play. They got the #2 seed in the NCAA West Region, beat (15) Quinnipiac 71-54, beat (10) Utah 68-64, and beat (6) Georgia 90-83 before losing in the Elite Eight to (5) Kansas, 80-64.
SG Ricardo Tubbs- Ricardo is going to South Alabama, which finished 18-14 overall and 12-6 in the Sun Belt. They got the #8 seed in the CIT and lost in the First Round to (9) Oral Roberts 77-66.
Season Awards
David Ginsberg was the only FOFCer eligible for an award (obviously, as they don't give awards for redshirt of the year
), and he made the Patriot All-Freshman Team.

See who got the conference frosh of the year? Army will have a nice frontcourt for the next 3 seasons, provided both Flint and Ginsberg stay.
Transfers
Icy, your player Ivan Carrillo has decided to transfer. Normally the transfer rules are that you have to sit out next year. But since you chose to redshirt your player this season, he'll be eligible to play next season, and I'll let you know where he goes.
Also, my player Mike Schaplowsky was not recruited, so no more 1 star recruits as far as I'm concerned. 0 for 2 is enough. lol
Conference Movement
We had some conference movement, as Winthrop goes from the Big South to the Atlantic Sun, and USC Upstate goes from the Atlantic Sun to the Big South.
Also, Gonzaga goes from the WCC to the WAC, while Idaho goes from the WAC to the WCC.
Coach Movement
None of the coach movement affected any of our current players or soon to be players, so nothing to talk about there.
Icy, your player Ivan Carrillo ended up transferring to Arizona St.
