I would've though that recruiting in Cali would be easier then Louisina but so far you have done a exceptional job landing solid 3* prospects your first 2 years. Looks like your coach must of some ties to the New Zealand/Austraila area. Good luck the rest of the way out. If you plan on staying at Nicholls State for all 40 years you might want to consider putting some restrictions on recruiting to nothing but 3* prospects or maybe 1 4* guy and after he graduates then try for a 5* guy. If you load up your roster with to many highly rated players you will end up dominating the conference year in and year out. Then again that might be what you want.

I am so close to Texas, it's my pipeline. Louisiana does not have that many recruits and all of the good ones get snatched up by big conference schools. I look forward to the point where I consistently sign the Mr. Basketball from Louisiana.

Not gonna use any restrictions. My goal is to win as much as possible, an undefeated season would be one of my ultimate goals.

Really looking forward to this season. Very solid line up, lead by the transfer from Texas Tech, Point Guard John Roberson........

Turned out to be a great season before the Conference Championship. What a bummer. Roberson got drafted, he was a projected second round pick.

3. SF Stephen Lang (3-star, 6'7", New Zealand)

My class ranked 39th in the nation. Nahra is a great three point shooter, an excellent defender and a very good passer. He is a very good all around point guard. I will redshirt him since it is McCroskey's senior year. Nahra is going to be huge in the coming years. Bradley is a good inside scorer but his defense and passing needs improvement. He is a great rebounder. He will most likely ride the bench for four years. Lang is a good all around shooter and an average passer and defender.

Kovacevic is a great shooter and a pretty good defender. He will start as a freshman. Todd is pretty similar to Kovacevic but he is not as good of a shooter. He will be redshirted.

I have a very good young team this year, hoping for a breakout year. Keeping Louisville that close was great and beating Florida State was a real confidence booster. Slipped up twice in conference play but oh well. The Conference Championship game against Texas A&M CC had me going nuts. My star Power Forward and team leader, Odartey Soson got injured in the semifinals so I was worried about this game. I simmed it on hoopscast and I was losing the whole game. In the last few minutes we just mounted an amazing comeback.

I think I should have gotten a better seed than 12. Without Soson I did not really stand a chance against South Carolina. I only graduate one senior, next year is gonna be huge. Hal Halsell left the team due to lack of playing time, he transfered to Florida Gulf Coast.

2. PF Kris Jeffries (3-star, 6'7", #265 OVR, #38 PF, Dallas, Texas)

Robins is an excellent inside scorer and also has an excellant mid range jumper. He is a good defender as well. He will start as a freshman. Jeffries is an excellent inside scorer, an average rebounder and a below average defender. He will be redshirted.

Any chance you can add Coach Berger Overall Record.

Have you considered playing any of the games, like maybe the conference tourney and NCAA tourney if you make it.

Added it to the front page. I am going to reformat this entire thing tonight or tomorrow.

I don't think I am gonna play any games. After I finish this legacy I will start another one where I play every game.

I am hoping this will be my break out year. I am starting only two upperclassmen, including Odartey Soson should be taken in next year's draft. Bigby shot up two inches which was a nice surprise.

Well it turned out to be a pretty good year. Big wins against some of the top mid majors. Took down Gonzaga in Spokane which was awesome. Upsetting #3 Cincinnati was the biggest win in school history before the NCAA Tournament. Of course I had to lose in the Conference Tournament again. It is getting to be ridiculous. Great performance in the NCAA Tournament, took care of Penn and West Virginia and almost upset Clemson. I am disappointed that Soson did not get drafted.

1. PG Kennedy Tsagarakis (4-star, 5'9", #44 OVR, #20 PG, Houston, Texas)
2. SG Alioune Beye (3-star, 6'4", Senegal)

Tsagarakis is a great all-around shooter and an excellent three point shooter. He is very quick and is a great all-around point guard but his stamina really needs improvement if he is gonna be a star in the future. Beye will be a bench player for all four years.

Nahra is a great three point shooter, an excellent defender and a very good passer. He is a very good all around point guard. I will redshirt him since it is McCroskey's senior year. Nahra is going to be huge in the coming years. Bradley is a good inside scorer but his defense and passing needs improvement. He is a great rebounder. He will most likely ride the bench for four years. Lang is a good all around shooter and an average passer and defender. __________________ San Francisco Dons Legacy Last edited by dfberger23; 03-31-2010 at 12:29 AM.

Bigby was Arkansas's Mr. Basketball, he is an excellent all-around player and I am very excited to see him develop over the next four years. Kovacevic is a great shooter and a pretty good defender. He will start as a freshman. Todd is pretty similar to Kovacevic but he is not as good of a shooter. He will be redshirted. __________________ San Francisco Dons Legacy Last edited by dfberger23; 03-30-2010 at 12:59 PM.

dfberger23 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Bronx, NY	Re: Nicholls State Legacy I have a very good young team this year, hoping for a breakout year. Keeping Louisville that close was great and beating Florida State was a real confidence booster. Slipped up twice in conference play but oh well. The Conference Championship game against Texas A&M CC had me going nuts. My star Power Forward and team leader, Odartey Soson got injured in the semifinals so I was worried about this game. I simmed it on hoopscast and I was losing the whole game. In the last few minutes we just mounted an amazing comeback. I think I should have gotten a better seed than 12. Without Soson I did not really stand a chance against South Carolina. I only graduate one senior, next year is gonna be huge. Hal Halsell left the team due to lack of playing time, he transfered to Florida Gulf Coast.

dfberger23 Rookie OVR: 1 Join Date: Mar 2010 Location: Bronx, NY	Re: Nicholls State Legacy I am hoping this will be my break out year. I am starting only two upperclassmen, including Odartey Soson should be taken in next year's draft. Bigby shot up two inches which was a nice surprise. Well it turned out to be a pretty good year. Big wins against some of the top mid majors. Took down Gonzaga in Spokane which was awesome. Upsetting #3 Cincinnati was the biggest win in school history before the NCAA Tournament. Of course I had to lose in the Conference Tournament again. It is getting to be ridiculous. Great performance in the NCAA Tournament, took care of Penn and West Virginia and almost upset Clemson. I am disappointed that Soson did not get drafted.

PG Kennedy Tsagarakis (4-star, 5'9", #44 OVR, #20 PG, Houston, Texas) 2. SG Alioune Beye (3-star, 6'4", Senegal) Tsagarakis is a great all-around shooter and an excellent three point shooter. He is very quick and is a great all-around point guard but his stamina really needs improvement if he is gonna be a star in the future. Beye will be a bench player for all four years. __________________ San Francisco Dons Legacy Last edited by dfberger23; 03-31-2010 at 12:28 AM.
