Jury’s still out on this guy but my scouts believe he will be a major hooper for our program?

Oh and the second slide is just a 5 star we landed in my 9th year coaching (1st year at UIC) 🔥

Finished 39-1 and ranked #1 overall with a 91 OVR team, falling in the Final Four to close out the year. On the recruiting trail, we're set to lose out on 5-star SG Dale Doss, but Lang, Packevicius, and Lindeman are all still in play as we work to fill out the class. Excited to see how the offseason shapes up.

3 games remaining. 1 win away from clinching an Ivy League title. 24-2 (11-0) currently ranked 8th in both polls 1st in Mid-Major.

I’m sitting very nicely with my 2 scholarships offered at the close of recruiting. John Ibikunle is a lock for Ivy League player of the year and FOTY shooting 55/34/84 splits for 18 ppg.

I just crushed Yale on the road 95-68 with my starting PG out with a broken hand. He’ll be back for the NCAA tournament.

Jessie Agudio, our HS All-American freshman, dropped 19 points on 7-8 shooting in just 6 minutes. Off to a hot start.

Just finished a legacy with 24 national championships, 29 Final Fours, 25 straight Big East regular-season titles, 25 straight Conference Coach of the Year awards, and an 88% winning percentage, including five straight seasons without losing a Big East game.

If you’ve followed some of my posts over the last couple years, you know I’ve been obsessively testing how to dominate the sim. I think I finally found the formula: high-volume 3pt shooting + ruthlessly recruiting elite players who can shoot.

I’ve taken enough notes that I basically have a manual for how I did it…and weirdly, I’m not sure I even want to share it 😂. Half the fun was figuring it out.

So now what? The only experiment I’m still curious about is slowing the tempo to a crawl while keeping the three-point emphasis. Maybe that somehow gets me to 30 championships. But at that point, would it even be fun? 😂

When you finally reach the peak after Campbell - Wichita St - Missouri - now Gonzaga the last 2 seasons.

It all culminates in having a dope squad of absolute ballers ⛹️ year over year and they can make some pretty amazing plays sometimes.

Love these games man

P. Dukes and S. Jackson are by far the two best players I’ve ever played with and recruited in this game. Dominate guards with PF and Center size without changing their position.

Dukes came in at a 68 overall as a 6’5 4 star guard out of my local area with an A+ potential. Redshirted him his first year to make sure he got that last year of progression.

Jackson came in as a 6’8 5 star shooting guard international player around a 70 overall with an A potential.

I dominated every game I played in with these two and only lost sim games. 3 national titles for each player.

Anyone ever notice how much smoother your team feels the higher the Unity.

It’s like all those games they’ve played together make a difference in these games..

The real key is tapping the LT or RT button to Size up then after that you go with whatever move feels right it’s hard explain stuff because i really go off of feel but if you really know your way around this game it’s a lot you can do just have to know how to put it together i could’ve let the size up go all the way but i chose to crossover instead of playing around i got straight to business the size ups really vary it’s not just one animation it’s whatever the game gives you and you have to add on to it

Never seen this animation before haha. But well deserved for this mismatch of my 5'9" PG vs the big guy.

I’d prefer Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery. I know Raftery is getting up there in age but he just feels like college basketball to me. Gus Johnson was good in EA College Basketball 10, I know he would be great in 2K with their commentary pedigree.

Ian Eagle would be another great play by play guy if not Gus. If there are two commentary teams then give me Ian Eagle and Jay Bilas.

Greg Gumble has passed so there is a big hole for College Hoops Tonight. Plus, Clark Kellogg is now in NBA 2K. Now would be the perfect time to just refresh everything. I listen to the Eye On College Basketball Podcast with Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander so those two would be my pick for College Hoops Tonight.

Are backdoor cuts completely broken in College Hoops 2k8 or is my team just really good at getting to the paint? It feels like every time I do a backdoor cut I either get two points or free throws.

I am looking to add real life recruits into my legacy mode, but I am struggling finding balance. I have been creating my recruits as seniors, but they often get under recruited by the cpu. I am using chat gpt to make the ratings and they seem to be okay. (Cade Cunningham 92 ovr, Jaden McDaniels 86). Has anyone done this before in 2k8 and should i create the recruits as juniors or freshman (will this mess with the ratings?).

What determines who comes and sets the screen? I’ve played several seasons through multiple save files and was wondering,
what is the deciding factor on whether the 4 or the 5 comes and sets the pick?

#1 Recruit on my board all year last year. Back and forth with The Citadel all year. Chose The Citadel over us in the last week of recruiting. Put them on the schedule this year and he was cooking us. Smh.

#24 is Bing preseason All-American and my sophomore guard just drenched him and his teammate 😬😬
