The Ladder 2015 Season Thread - Page 8

gstelmack · 08-09-2013, 06:38 AM

Time to turn this around and start INCREASING our wins each year.

I do so love the 5-0 Bowl Record though. "D" Coach Prestige can suck it...

Julio Riddols · 08-09-2013, 07:32 AM

Nice, starting a fresh year always brings back that infinite hope.

CU Tiger · 08-09-2013, 07:53 AM

I have had the worst record in league history, two years in a row.
But late In the season we showed signs of belonging on the field in some of our losses.

Anything less than 5 wins next year will be unacceptable.

gstelmack · 08-09-2013, 08:04 AM

Looks like one backup OLB is leaving, in addition to the expected graduations. I'd love for him to stick around, but I won't be crying, either.

MacroGuru · 08-09-2013, 08:18 AM

Ugh, losing a Freshman MLB that was rated 66, which would have probably jumped into the 70's after camp due to PT...sorry bud, the starting MLB was a star and never got hurt and we weren't up high enough to get you more PT.

Anyways, none of my players go into the pros including my Lombardi/Nagurski award winning DE....which I think is stupid.

Anyways, new season, time to get out of the MAC!

cartman · 08-09-2013, 11:03 AM

My two stud WRs are going pro. Wouldn't even give me the chance to talk them into staying. Same for my punter.

Kodos · 08-09-2013, 11:20 AM

Elite punters = Big NFL bucks!

Julio Riddols · 08-09-2013, 12:07 PM

Man, I must have promised that kid I wouldn't recruit any other WRs this year. I know it wasn't playing time, he had 500 yards receiving.

Weren't they all seniors?

Kodos · 08-09-2013, 12:35 PM

Reminder. This stage can be done on the website, but I wouldn't necessarily trust the website...

Eaglesfan27 · 08-09-2013, 12:50 PM

I will check game when I get home tonight.

Eaglesfan27 · 08-09-2013, 03:38 PM

No one left early, but our 2nd biggest weapon, our TE graduated and is projected to be drafted in the 6th round. The good news it that our star extremely fast WR will be back one more year to try to break some records. After the season he had, I thought he might go pro early. We did have a few other notable losses to graduation including our starting HB who was a chain mover and our 2nd and 3rd best WR's as well as our top CB.

Kodos · 08-09-2013, 04:02 PM

Julio Riddols · 08-09-2013, 05:39 PM

NICE. We get a chance in C-USA. Should be a little help recruiting.

gstelmack · 08-09-2013, 07:40 PM

Maryland can't go into ACC-ONE for a potential championship game matchup like we had this season (with Duke and I)?

Kodos · 08-09-2013, 08:52 PM

Not if we stick with the promoted-team-replaces-the-worst-team method that I've employed so far. If people want to allow a little latitude to create stuff like that, it is okay by me. (I was secretly delighted when Ohio lost the coin-toss with Minnesota and allowed me to keep Minny in my division instead of them being replaced by Toledo.)

gstelmack · 08-10-2013, 07:53 AM

Okay, not a huge deal.

CU Tiger · 08-10-2013, 12:31 PM

No one but seniors leaving...so that's good.

I guess.

cmgdodgers · 08-10-2013, 12:46 PM

I'm for being moved to ACC-One for reasons stated if everyone else is ok with it.

Julio Riddols · 08-10-2013, 01:02 PM

Fine by me.

Kodos · 08-10-2013, 03:23 PM

On to the next stage. According to the site, the following teams have players requesting to transfer in:

Florida Atlantic - Kyle Jones, FB, 61 Ovr

That's it, according to the site. Hopefully CU Tiger can make his choice quickly, and we can be on our way to the next stage.

CU Tiger · 08-10-2013, 05:20 PM

Give me 20 minutes and itll be done

CU Tiger · 08-10-2013, 05:39 PM

Done advance this shit

Kodos · 08-10-2013, 05:52 PM

On to preseason recruiting week 1.

Just to clarify -- the only team that had anyone wanting to transfer in was FAU (CU Tiger), so that is why we blasted through that stage so quickly.

CU Tiger · 08-10-2013, 11:19 PM

And in related news, sometime since last update we landed a major committ for us. A MLB who our scout rates as an 80 ...we beat out fsu and Clemson who he was soft to both at some point. Very excited to see what he can do to help our D.

Kodos · 08-11-2013, 05:36 AM

Nice!

Eaglesfan27 · 08-11-2013, 04:29 PM

USC is done recruiting for week 1.

MacroGuru · 08-11-2013, 06:08 PM

cmgdodgers · 08-11-2013, 09:19 PM

Julio Riddols · 08-12-2013, 12:18 AM

Also done.

gstelmack · 08-12-2013, 06:24 AM

Done, not sure why it doesn't say "Ready to Advance" with all my time used...

chesapeake · 08-12-2013, 02:03 PM

Done. And I'm all for shifting user teams to be in different divisions of the same conference as a standard procedure. I think I played USF every season anyway, and that last matchup in the conference championship really added to the fun.

Kodos · 08-12-2013, 02:55 PM

Sounds like we have league-consensus on this.

I will adjust things accordingly.

cartman · 08-13-2013, 12:14 PM

I'll be able to get my week 1 recruiting done this evening. I've been away since last Friday.

Kodos · 08-13-2013, 12:18 PM

Thanks for the heads up.

Will hold until you are ready.

cartman · 08-13-2013, 07:23 PM

Ok, I'm done. Ready to advance!

Julio Riddols · 08-13-2013, 08:22 PM

Come on and sign with UTSA, fellas..

Kodos · 08-13-2013, 08:33 PM

We're on to Week 2.

cartman · 08-13-2013, 09:54 PM

Went ahead and got my Week 2 done. I'm set.

MacroGuru · 08-13-2013, 10:20 PM

I did my recruiting through the site. I am ready to advance...

gstelmack · 08-14-2013, 06:39 AM

Looks like we landed a nice FS (although my Safety depth is getting absurd), and a nice TE, plus a DE for depth. Still really want a good DE (and we've nearly caught Georgia on a nice one) and a good CB (an outside shot at 2), and the rest we'll keep looking for anyone who can help us.

gstelmack · 08-14-2013, 07:52 AM

My recruiting is now done.

Julio Riddols · 08-14-2013, 03:05 PM

Ready to roll.

cmgdodgers · 08-14-2013, 04:47 PM

CU Tiger · 08-15-2013, 07:05 AM

Eaglesfan27 · 08-15-2013, 09:10 AM

We are out of scholarships so we are done recruiting for the remainder of the weeks.

Cmon, don't you have the USC/SEC mod that allows for the over scholarship limit?

(I keed)

Kodos · 08-15-2013, 10:03 AM

On to the next week.

gstelmack · 08-15-2013, 11:09 AM

Landed a pair of good SS, so I'm now officially overcrowded at Safety. I still have a good shot at stealing a DE from Georgia, hoping to steal one from LSU, and praying about a pair of CBs to round out my class.

Looking at the top classes, LSU is in the top-10 thanks to 3 5-* recruits. All 3 of them are HBs...
