Nice first season for you at Maine. You did almost the best you could've done that first season. Hopefully next year you can have the same success.

Re: Coaching legacy of RJW [CH2k8]

I'm thinking of switching to coach mode. Idk it feels abit easy to win right now... Gonna play a few games in CM to see if I wanna change or not

As for updates I think I'm gonna do them by months which would easy for me to get through games faster :P

11/15 Vs. Yale "W" 74-82
11/18 Vs. Army "W" 47-72
11/23 Vs. St. Francis [PA] "W" 84-99
11/29 @ Iona "W" 55-45 *Coach Mode*

" I couldn't ask for a better start to this year then the one we have right now!" Said Coach Wilson " Sitting at 5-1 isn't bad, We still have December to get through then the real challenge begins in january."

That's the statement head coach wilson left for his team before they got ready to enter the month of december. After losing their opening game to bucknell, the black bears turned it up and went on a tear beating teams left and right. Only six games left on their plate for non-conference games, they better be ready for anything with the [4] Duke Blue Devils and the [17] Aggies of Texas A&M left to play. Asked who their best player and most disappointed player so far into the season and this is what the head coach had to say.

Best Player
Robby Hanzlik, SG

"Hands down I would say Robby is the best player so far." Coach Wilson Said " Coming off the bench, he gives this team a huge spark from beyond the arc which we lacked last year. The only downside is he more of a volume shooter then anything else which means we have to feed the ball to him more inorder to get him going"

Disappointing player

Jared Cook, C

" Jared, has been less then stellar....I had high hopes for him with Dre leaving and I still do have those hopes but from what he showed us, isn't looking too good for him" Stated Coach Wilson

Re: Coaching legacy of RJW [CH2k8]

Recruit Update!

*** Fernandez Banks, Point Guard
Brooklyn, New York
6'2", 178 LBS
HS SR
Over: #257 Pos: #80

The Maine coaching staff has to be happy about being able to pull in their first recruit of the season! Point Guard Fernandez banks from Brooklyn NY ranks in the top 100 at his position, PG being a need for next season with current PG J. Hight set to graduate. Banks could be wilson first option at the point for next season if they don't look any further. With only [1] Scholarship left to hand out maine should be wise who they go after!
