GMG Basketball Classic draft talent thread

UNT90 · February 21, 2014

We won't. The need for frequent substitutions negates an over-age of players. I am talking Benford levels of substitution.

Fixed

Hockey style line changes...

KRAM1 · February 21, 2014

What happens if we have enough for 3 teams?

One game. You will see clearly why on game day! It's all good and it's all fun!

6'1" 242

not played in a year

57 played in senior league

can rebound play d but little offense

aztecskin · February 24, 2014

LIke I said previously, I am in the process of managing my schedule to make it up there but I might be gameday scratch.

That said:

6'0"

Out of shape

streaky shooter

can play 1 but would rather play 2/3.

Also enjoy beerverages.

Harry · February 24, 2014

I am doing the bio for Rico and myself

Rico - 5-10, very quick -- current coach so he's still in pretty good shape. Good athlete in his late 20's? Would be a good pickup on athleticism alone but clearly a guard.

Harry - 6-0, Old, slow. Mind thinks he is better than body allows for anymore. Used to play quite a bit back when the shorts were short and everybody wore the same shoes. Scrub who should fall to the later rounds.

Draft will take place this Saturday (March 1st) at 10:00AM in the GMG.Com chat room. It will move fairly quickly...UNT90 will draft for the Green Team and will draft first (coin toss winner) and Andrew will coach the white team and draft second.

Tune in to the chat room at 10:00AM Saturday and "enjoy" the fun! Or not... :-)

unt88 · February 25, 2014

Sorry for the very late entry. Thanks mark for getting me added in.

6'3"

235-240 depends on how many laps to the buffet I can get in.

Deadly accurate at 12" from the rim. Now if we can only play with a ladder so I can get 12" from the rim. These knees just don't have the umf anymore.

Looking forward to getting my 30sec on and 5 minutes off. Hockey style subbing I am game.

I am a volume shooter.

Oh, and I am open.

Was hoping to make it out. Maybe next year. Will be in Vegas for March Madness. Everyone Enjoy.

So, you felt the need to post in here to tell us you were not playing? Interesting. Could I entice you to make a bit of a donation to the cause BEFORE you head to Vegas? Harry has a PayPal site here on GMG.Com that you could use if you would like or you can PM me and I'll send my address and you could mail a contribution...any amount is greatly appreciated. Could use your support. Thanks. Enjoy Vegas!

Didn't feel there was a need to pound my chest about it. Should I ask for a refund?

Interesting.

Enjoy the game! Sounds like fun!

I'm lost in all of the these rude comments by people who did not go out of there way to set something up for others. Manners anyone?

KRAM1 · February 28, 2014

Interesting.
PM me and I will send you an address where you can send it to. Enjoy the game! Sounds like fun!

Have absolutely ZERO clue what you are talking about, nor do I have a clue what you seem to think is upsetting about my post. This thread is for folks who ARE playing to tell the coaches a few things for draft day. So, someone posting about not playing is, indeed, interesting. And, I ask plenty of folks for help. If that upsets you for some reason...please PM me with your address and I will be happy to send you a check immediately. Won't even wait until the event is over, will send a personal check immediately. The whole thing is to help our Cheer Team student-athletes. But, I am happy to send your donation back if you are somehow offended. Just let me know how much and where to send it as I have no clue about any donation received from one "green it". Your call.
