Welcome back to Western Illinois’ chase for greatness in College Hoops 2K8. You can find a full explanation of this project + spoiler-free links to previous seasons at the About page of this website. Share it with a friend! Here’s a recap of everything that happened last season
A couple things before we stream Western Illinois vs. Pepperdine in the NCAA tournament on Thursday night:
-- By now I assume everyone who wanted to enter the bracket contest got the email from Sean. Long story short: we had so many entries it broke the app. Sean has come up with a new system that is actually more user-friendly. Here's the link -- it should be pretty intuitive: shorturl.at/gmpCH
-- Email Sean your picks when you're done or they won't count. He's at Sean@HoopsInsight.com
-- Reader Josh emailed me to ask for last year's bracket results. I put together I Google doc I intended to link here, but the formatting is all off and it doesn't let me grab a link, just download it. Anyway. If you're interested in last year's results, you can find a decent version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcEBy_lsLW0&feature=youtu.be&t=3377
This is going to be fun! I hope everyone comes out tomorrow. Go 'Necks.
For recruiting, I think the interest bar is the recruit’s interest in the school, not the school’s interest in the recruit. That may explain why the interest bar is high, but the CPU doesn’t offer a scholarship. Knowing that, is it possible to recruit HS Jrs to lay the groundwork/interest for their senior year? Also, as the premier hoops program in the state, it may make sense to chase Illinois’ Mr Basketball every year.
Has anyone suggested Funky Cam Medina as a nickname?
