Re: Wyoming | The Reboot (NCAA 14)
WTNY,
Just started following buddy. Used to read your Tigers dynasty in the baseball section when you, Royals19, ACMillan, BHurst ruled them. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Wyoming. About half through this one almost. Still have some reading to catch up on.

2021 MASSIVE Season Preview
The Pokes have been enjoying consistently good seasons of late and the only thing between WYO and a 3rd consecutive appearance in the MWC Championship Game last year was a resurgent Boise State team. One of the side effects of consistency and Coach Bohl's now 7 years in Laramie is the recruiting classes get a little bit better and the roster gets a little bit deeper. That is fairly evident looking at this year's depth chart. |

Re: Wyoming | The Reboot (NCAA 14)
Always one of my favorite posts in all of the NCAA 14 dynasties are your off-season recruiting/season preview posts. Well done, and written in such a unique tone that separates it from other greats on the board.
FS is looking ... like something. I assume the guys on the two-deep at FS have legs that allow them to stand up right but that's about all the good things I could say about them. I feel like Myers HAS to see the field at a safety spot this year, no? O-Line isn't great and inexperienced, so it'll be interesting to see how the right side of the line holds up. Well done as always!

Re: Wyoming | The Reboot (NCAA 14)
I checked in on Eric Newsome, the first 5* I whiffed on, and the poor bastard is 3rd or 4th in the Buckeyes' DT rotation despite being a 94 ovr. He's a junior now (I think) and he has 3 career tackles. He really hasn't seen any playing time for Ohio State. Can't say I feel bad for the kid... My progression system is certainly a governor on the engine that is my team. The first Wyoming dynasty I did was a lot of fun. But, I found myself first in the PAC-12 and soon after in the SEC seeking out an actual challenge. I'm not saying a team like Wyoming can't win big, but I felt like I really need tough sliders and a hand tied behind my back in recruiting and progression to feel good about my team's accomplishments. It's exactly a keep my team crappy system, but I like how sometimes it really stings and sometimes it's more meh no big deal. And, by the way, yeah Darrin Green did get hit with regression, lol. And the year after, one of his competitors at QB got massive progression. That's how a guy I was salivating over is now a redshirt sophomore and is still the backup. I like the randomness--like Plink-O--in these position battles that I would never otherwise get without this system. Some players I get attached to as recruits don't pan out quite as well or as soon and some players I couldn't care less about become key cogs. As for the renaming, I considered the possibility that sharing both the original name and the altered name can be confusing. The problem I have is that when I recruit these guys, I am not able to change them/edit them at that point? So when I post a recruiting update it has the original names. Then I feel like I have to correlate those names with the new names at some point after I am able to edit them. For players that feature prominently, their final names will be mentioned so frequently in game recaps, stats, depth charts, awards, etc that the old name is probably wiped away completely after a couple of seasons. His name was Robert Paulson.
Free safety is definitely one of the weaker spots on the roster due to graduation of some good players, maybe not prioritizing it that much in recruiting, and some unlucky regression. I am gonna try to keep the redshirt on Myers if at all possible. That way he starts at FS as a redshirt freshman next year with something like an 80 OVR. Can't wait to have him as 4-year starter, starting next year if I can get thru this season. Despite the 60-ish OVR on those other guys at FS, they do have some decent attributes that make them potentially playable. However, I may have to play him, you're right. Tough to redshirt primo 3* talents at Wyoming without feeling dirty about it. The O Line is not going to be phenomenal, but I was having some trouble with the interior part (C and RG in particular) in recent years and have worked through that. Kurtis McCann, Donald Young, and Joshua Moore were my interior guys and Moore got benched (3rd string now) and the other guys were shuffled around. New RG Rocky Keefe was a recruit ("Patrick Novak") that I was really excited to get because he has some nice runblocking attributes. This is his first year starting. I am also trying to create a really beefy OL and RT Rodney Graham at 6'7" 339 lbs is sort of a prototype. If Graham struggles, I could insert redshirt freshman Lester Powers who already out-OVRs him 76 to 68. Powers is a guy I am budgeting for some nice years as the starting LT after the incumbent graduates. All 5 of my starters are over 6'5" and 300 lbs which is one of my goals each year putting the OL together (height moreso a thing for the tackles).

Re: Wyoming | The Reboot (NCAA 14)
Your offseason recap is always fantastic. The progression system is great how you implement it, I loved it so much that I implemented it into mine as well (thankfully the season 1 offseason didn't hit me too hard)! You've got a ton of quality pieces this year no doubt about it, so hopefully the few positions where you are light on talent will tread water enough for you to lead to a strong season. Definitely going to be tough to resist putting your stud safety into the lineup though, especially if the pass defense struggle again like it has occasionally for you!
