Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

COACH YOUNG ANNOUCNES STARTING 5

With just 10 players on the roster, Coach Young split the squad into 2 teams for the Hornets Nest Midnight Showcase. Gold and Green

Gold
PG-5'10 SR Sultan Toles-Bey
SG-6'3 JR A. Proctor
SF-6'3 SO J. Groom
PF-6'9 JR J. McCarver
C-6'8 JR A. N'Diaye


Green
PG-6'3 FR J. Carbajal
SG-6'3 FR K. Groom
SF-6'5 JR W. Jackson
PF-6'6 JR Z. Nelson
C-6'7 JR M. Owayed

Coach Young Comments from the game.

"Well the Gold dominated which we assumed they would. They are the projected starters, they have the most expierence and they had the height advantage down low. Owayed showed he will be a focal point of the bench filling in at the 3,4, and 5 spot and Nelson showed he can also played multiple spots and will battle Dickson for the starting SF spot. Our lack of 3pt shooting will force us to move the ball down the court quickly and look for easy transition baskets for McCarver and N'Diaye."

However the goodtimes ended as CSSU lost 74-61 to San Jose State to close out the month of November with a 2-5 record.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

Thanks. 1st time ever trying to play with Sacremento State. Normally I mess with the rosters until I get EWU on the closed list, but didnt' feel like taking the time. I also use to run with Northern Colorado alot with the old rosters from 08.

Being a westcoast guy I like using teams from the Big Sky/Big West/WAC/MWC/WCC and Pac-10.

My hopes with this legacy is to move on to a WCC school and give Gonzaga and SMC a run for their money. however should the ability to take over BSU come available I would jump at the chance to go dominate the WAC. I would then like to take over a Pac-10 school like Cal, OSU,ASU or my dream job WSU.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

HORNETS GO 8-8 IN BIG SKY!!!

Year 1 turned into a somewhat successfull year for Coach Young and the CSSU program. The Hornets finished .500 going 8-8 in the Big Sky for a 5th place finish and after battling injuries and inconsistancy for most of the season. Here is recap of the games.

@ N. Colorado (73-64) L
@ Portland St (67-63) W
@ EWU (75-66) L
vs Montana St (62-54) W
vs Montana (77-63) W
vs NAU (66-56) L
vs Weber St (79-72) L
@ ISU (82-62) L
vs N. Colorado (87-71) L

vs Portland St (81-79) L
@ Montana (92-90) W
@ Montana St (83-81) L

vs ISU (86-65) W
vs Weber St (66-63) W

CSSU aslo picked up wins over Cal State Bakersfiled (80-67) and Rival UC Davis (102-82)

Comments by Coach Young "We had several close games in which I feel like 1 or 2 plays different and we could've been the #2 or #3 seed going into the Big Sky tourney, but hey at least we made it. Injuries plagued N'Didaye and McCarver and when they were forced to miss games, it showed our lack of big men capable of giving us a solid offensive scoring option out there."

FINAL STANDINGS

N. Colorado 10-6
Montana 9-7
Weber State 9-7
N. Arizona 9-7
Montana State 8-8
Sacremento State 8-8
Eastern Washington 8-8
Idaho State 6-10
Portland State 5-11

N. Colorado and Montana will earn 1st Round byes for the tourney. #3 Weber State will take on #5 Montana State well #6 Sacremento State will take on #4 NAU. The winner of the CSSU and NAU game will take on #1 seed N. Colorado.

Note: NAU won both matchups earlier in the season against the Hornets.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

HORNETS GET SMACKED IN OPENING ROUND.

For the 3rd time this season, CSSU falls to NAU. The Lumberjacks took a 50-37 lead in the 1st half as CSSU struggled to contain the outside shooting of E. Piatt-24 points (6-9 3pt). SR Cameron Jones added 21 pts in the win, well Josh McCarver led the Hornets with 28 pts 7 reb. A. N'Diaye added 15 pts well J. Dickson had 14 pts and 7 reb off the bench in the loss.


NAU would fall to N. Colorado 70-57 in the Semi Finals, well Montana defeated Montana State on the other side of the bracket. The Grizzlies then pulled the upset beating UNC 65-49 to win the Big Sky tourney and secure a #13 seed in the NCAA tourney.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

GLORY ROAD ENDS HERE.

In a complete shocker the Washington State Cougars were named the 2011 National Champions. The #1 seeded Cougars defeated #3 West Virigina in the Elite 8 before beating #3 Iowa (they beat #1 Kansas) in the Final 4 77-72. WSU then defeated #2 North Carolina 75-74 in a thriller on a last second 3pt by Klay Thompson. The Tar Heels defeated #8 Richmond 86-64 in the Elite 8 before defeating #1 Memphis 86-84 in the Final 4.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

COACH YOUNG FINDS SUCCESS OFF THE COURT

With only SR PG S. Toles-Bey scheduled to leave the team, Coach Young entered the 2010-2011 season with 4 scholarships to offer.

His 1st priority was to find a PG to replace Toley-Bey, his 2nd priority was to find guys who could shoot the ball, and #3 was to improve his overall size of his squad.

Well he did all 3. Here is a breakdown of the 4 players who signed on to be Hornets next year.

3*SF 6'4 SF C. Brewington (#156 Overall/#30 SF)-San Diego CA
3*SG 6'4 SG C. Hipsher (#184 Overall/#41 SG)-Phoenix AZ
3* PF 6'8 J. Legans (#378 Overall/#67 PF)-Scottsdale AZ
3* PG 5'11 P. Beye (World Recruit)-Sengal.

Coach Young "Overall I am very happy with this year's class. Brewington we targeted from Day 1 and were happy to get him to sign with us. Hipsher sorta landed in our laps. We were actually scouting Legans and had planned on giving his scholarship to another bigman, but in the end we couldn't pass up a opportunity to get a guy rated in the Top-200 players. Both should be starters Day 1 as well as PG Paco Beye from Sengal. Having Coach Kilgore on staff was a huge reason why we found this kid. Legans will start the year as a backup for McCarver and N'Didaye at the 4/5 spots. But should either go down to injury then he will step in and start."

Back to the Big Sky huh? If I remember correctly you played with Montana State for a while right? Maybe I have the team wrong, although I think it was MSU...

Good to see you back.

Re: A New Journey (Closed Legacy 2K8)

Very nice group of recruits. Look forward to seeing how you make them grow together.

I know you are simming, but are you doing developmental drills or changing training & tendencies at all?
