USC will try to talk Woods into staying

[psuexv]

Looks like OK is the only team with more than 1 90+ to leave

[ryby6969]

Miami convinces everyone to stay except for All-American QB Stephen Morris. Even with an hour of time in, he decided it was time for him to move on.

[gschwendt]

In my case, I have 3 players that are 90+... am I allowed to talk two into staying or only one? What happens if I talk to 1 or 2 and they reject me... am I then allowed to talk to the 3rd?

[gschwendt]

Oklahoma:
Kenny Stills, WR - 97 OVR
Trey Franks, WR - 90 OVR
Tom Wort, MLB - 94 OVR
Brennan Clay, HB - 89 OVR

Kenny Stills and Tom Wort will be returning for their senior season to better their draft position while Trey Franks and Brennan Clay will be drafted in the 6th & 7th rounds respectively.

[Escobar]

My kicker left early, smh

[rhombic21]

I lost basically everybody.

[razorback44]

Marcus Coker left for the league. That's going to put our offense in a bind next year as we don't have another back that is even remotely as good as him.

[JeffHCross]

That's going to put our offense in a bind next year as we don't have another back that is even remotely as good as him.Sounds realistic for Iowa :D

[psusnoop]

Redd and Cadogen are staying at PSU for their SR season.

Redd after winning the heisman was injured last season and really looking for a bounce back year.


E is all that remains.

[Papa LoneStar]

DT Jones returns and CB Mitchell leaves early to play in the CFL

[psusnoop]

What does tonight look like for finishing this up?

[ryby6969]

What does tonight look like for finishing this up?


:up:

[Oneback]

Sorry I've been out the last two days - been busy, just purchased a new Jeep for the wife, she was quite picky.

[gschwendt]

I'm good for tonight at 9 or anytime tomorrow night.

[ryby6969]

Are we doing this tonight or waiting until tomorrow?

[psusnoop]

Are we doing this tonight or waiting until tomorrow?

Last text I got was tomorrow night.

[ryby6969]

:(

[ryby6969]

Just a heads up, but I will not be home until 7pm est as I have class right after work until 6:15. I will knock out my week 2 right when I get home.(If we have advanced by then)

[gschwendt]

What time are we going tonight? I'm available for whenever.

[ryby6969]

I can go then OB.

[psusnoop]

Good here

[razorback44]

Sorry I missed last night everyone. Had a date night with the wife already planned.

Are we in preseason now?

[gschwendt]

Sorry I missed last night everyone. Had a date night with the wife already planned.

Are we in preseason now?Last night we left it at position changes.

[ryby6969]

Yeah, prime and you are left razor as of a few hours ago.

[razorback44]

Last night we left it at position changes.

Thanks. Just knocked mine out.

[psusnoop]

Did we advance past Position Changes?

***Just got the text that we have advanced to Player Cuts****

[psuexv]

Is anyone even over the limit?

[gschwendt]

Is anyone even over the limit?I have a feeling I probably am... have quite a bit of depth at most positions. I have some players I want to cut regardless though that were recruited before I took over.

[fsuprime]

i had 10 over, the computer signed a good 7 or 8 players for me in the offseason. done now.

[ryby6969]

I only had 1 over so I am good.

[Oneback]

I was 7 over.

[ryby6969]

I am kind of disappointed that I will not get to see how these guys turn out. We probably only have two more season left at best.

[Papa LoneStar]

I'll get my cuts in around 4pm central. I believe I have about 28 receivers

[ryby6969]

And no QB that can stay healthy! :P

[gschwendt]

I had to cut 6... had 4 easy decisions but had to cut 2 new recruits from this year which I hate doing. Thankfully they were essentially contingency plans anyway.

[Papa LoneStar]

And no QB that can stay healthy! :P

:( Very true....I played pretty well with a 76 overall redshirt fish....so I know I have 2 QBs....if my starting RB gets hurt for an extended time for the 3rd straight year....I'm going to the June Jones offense.

[ryby6969]

LOL, I have Williams who is an 88ovr now with 80 speed and around 88THP and THA. My next guy is a 82 soph with like 61 speed but 91THP and THA. I will have to see how they throw the ball before I decide who to start. I am thinking Williams just because I like the ability to escape if the pocket breaks down, but if he airmails his throws like Jacory did, he might find the bench quick. I am somewhat disappointed in how my defensive players increased with training. Nothing really major as I was expecting some nice breakthrough's.

[Papa LoneStar]

Very happy with the progression of my QBs, RBs, and OL. I have a situation at WR....do I go with the young bucks who can get open but may have drops....or the 2-3 year program guys who are average, but shouldn't have many drops. I think I'll go with a mixture. I also have to find a new playbook. Too much gun in Mississippi State's playbook....I need a nice balance. *heads to playbook spreadsheet*

[ryby6969]

I honestly wish I could get a Custom Defensive Playbook to work. I would love to go with a Multiple style playbook, but I want more of the 3-4 formations than what are in that playbook.

[gschwendt]

I honestly wish I could get a Custom Defensive Playbook to work. I would love to go with a Multiple style playbook, but I want more of the 3-4 formations than what are in that playbook.What doesn't work? I've been using custom playbooks for both sides of the ball in all of my games.

[ryby6969]

No matter what I try, I lose all kick returns but normal. I have no ability to do onside return and I just do not want to take a chance.

[gschwendt]

No matter what I try, I lose all kick returns but normal. I have no ability to do onside return and I just do not want to take a chance.No... you still can, it's just a bug that breaks those out into different formations. To call those, you just have to hit :ps3cir: to back out of "coach's suggestion", and then choose by formation. As well, you can call different punt returns by just hitting the side to side to go to the next "formation". It's a little annoying but certainly manageable.

[ryby6969]

Ohhh, good to know. Thanks.

[Escobar]

yea, I have to do the same thing. I have been using custom playbooks on both sides of the ball also.
