Deleted the U21 transfer ads. I was sorry to see Shackleford and Manseau end up on the same team, I cannot see how their training would fit together. So maybe this exercise was futile.

Instead of going over the various tracking pools, I will probably hold a mini-camp instead. I will invite who I think are the players who have the best shot at making the team next season. You will probably be shocked to see quite a few 19 year olds on the list. I am still putting things together but hope to have something up by this weekend.

The Swiss have asked me to play a 20 and under line-up on Monday and I will probably oblige (assuming that I actually set a line-up this time).

Well, I threw out what I thought was the best U20 line-up for today's game. It did not go over so well.

Also, another saved player hit the TL today. Not a fantastic prospect but he has HOF potential:

Three more players hit the TL today, thanks to some good work by The Mogul. I don't know if any of them have a serious shot at the U21 but maybe the NT if trained right:

That was a good scrimmage against Belgium today. It's great to see the new guys running around and making plays. Winning is also always fun, even if the game was just a scrimmage. :)

That game could have gotten ugly if their SG did not take 30 shots. On the flip side, teams will have a tough time running an inside offense against us with Moran and Perkins in there, even if we do throw out a 3-2 zone.

I'm surprised by the numbers Moran put up, considering you used a run-and-gun approach. Perhaps I should try something similar with my team in an upcoming match in the not-too-distant future.

I would have to watch the match to see where Moran took his shots from. But if the majority were jump shots, I would say that the only thing you can draw from that is that their C had atrocious outside d. Plus do not forget that the enthusiasm for both teams was in the cellar.

Moran is a great player, though. Too bad we can't put together a dream team and have Milot at PG to pass him the ball.
