You'll still hit stiff competition

I don't pay attention to polls or any other silly stuff some people seem to be so concerned about either. I don't think you should limit yourself in anything. Everyone should be playing on equal terms, and not only you'll be creating an unfair disadvantage for yourself, you'll also be giving an unfair advantage to your opponents.

I hope to run into Cal State in the National Tourney, but it would be a shame if they were not at full strength.

Even though he would probably have a slight advantage from knowing the mechanics of the program I don't see it as a problem. If he is playing, it could possibly give him ideas for improvements and such. I was recently in to a cycling manager game and had a team for about 7 years. In the beginning the developer had a team and he didn't place restraints on himself and this was good because it prompted him to develop the game even more. As time went on he abandoned his team and with that went any updates until his interest apparently faded to the point of him seemingly abandoning the game. He would only come on to ban people that complained in the forum about his inactivity and then that even stopped and he hadn't been seen for months. So I quit a manager game that I really liked after being in it for a very long time. After quitting, I found BB and then HW so thank you for your work. It is very much appreciated by myself and obviously by many, many others. Cheers.

Not everyone agreed with your decision or understood it, but they respected it. I wanted to let you know that Indiana tried out your strat, Steve. A blue blood team had to. We brought three 2-star seniors to a Division 1 Final Four appearance in the 2047-2048 season. All five Indiana starters were 11 potential, 3-star athletes. The strat isn't meta, but it sure is viable. Some of our success was skill, some was from community partnerships with Presidents, I feel like most of all, it was mindset and discipline on the recruiting trail set forth by the example of your program. You run Hardwood with a command and authority that AAA game developers often air ball at while in similar scenarios. We are thankful. Keep pushing, Otters. Season 50 is nearly here. Let's find a way to celebrate. Ced IU
