Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!
Was violently ill today, so decided to pass time (was all I could do) by starting a new Legacy. I checked 2kshare and remembered people saying funkyfresh (ps3) had some good rosters so I tried them and like them. I made a few personal edits to Michigan's roster but overall I was impressed.
Anyway, I decided to go with Wofford. They began as a 68 overall team, my goal was to stay with them for 3-4 years and build them through recruiting without playing any games. Then move on to a weak mid-major and turn them into a giant, playing as many games as I can (I'm a sim freak, it's really addicting).
I was able to recruit very well, so well in fact I was somewhat shocked. Year 1 wasn't great, we went 9-22. Year 2 was a complete turnaround as we finished 19-12, getting to the conference title game and losing (it was real tempting to play that game). The recruits were coming in, even 4 star players were showing interest.
Third year was a disappointment, our team was really young and didn't have chemistry yet, or a veteran leader. I was mildly concerned about losing my job after going 13-18, but the AD saw how well I was recruiting and knew the ship would righted soon enough.
Year 4 was another monster year for recruiting, signed a 4 star SF in season, ranked 35 overall and the scouting report is indicating he could really be a stud. Also had a 3 star PF ranked overall in the top 200, and looks like he could have easily been a 4 star kid. Finally, there was a 4 star pg in the mix, he didn't have a good outside shot but his speed, quickness, handling, and passing were all B+ and I'll take that any day for a pg.
The team was 80 overall at this point, but still working on the chemistry. We did improve over the ugly season the year before, finishing 18-11, but once again missing out on the post season.
Coaching carousel shows I have an offer from Pepperdine and I'm really thinking hard about staying another year with Wofford just to see how good they end up. Pepperdine was rated 77 overall, coming off a 7-22 season. It fit the credentials of a weak mid major I can focus on rebuilding, and actually PLAYING some games lol. Wofford, however was 83 overall and the starting lineup next season would be 2 freshman, 2 sophomores, and a junior. I mean the team was just stacked.
I went ahead and accepted the Pepperdine job (reluctantly), but I'll be closely following my Wofford kids to see how good they end up. I'll probly schedule them non-conference for a couple years. I wouldn't be surprised if they became a 90 overall team in 2 years.
So, now it's off to Pepperdine, hopefully I'll be able to recruit California hard and knock Gonzaga out as top dog in the WCC in a few seasons.
