Hey all. And thank you to all that voted for me :)

Just letting you all know that I am currently building up a database of possible squad members and future squad members. I will post a list of the players in this thread once I have completed my database.

All input is welcome so leave a message here or send me a message :D

Hey all. I have gone through every team in div1 and div2 and scouted possible NZ U21 players and possible future players. Seen some great players for the current team and also some great 20year olds for next season! Even some of the 19 year olds that will be awesome in a season or 2! NZ's NT teams are looking good for our future years.

Here is what the squad is looking like right now:

C/PF's
21 - Danny Mercurio
21 - Val Montana
21 - Reid Forlani
20 - Bowman Hamilton
20 - Peter Brazier

PG/SG's
21 - Ulf Hauer
21 - Xavier Clitheroe
21 - Scott Macdonald
21 - Jason Fulton
20 - Stacey Searles

SF
19 - Adinarayana Gawali

Right now the squad is only going to be 11 strong as I weigh up what other positions I think I need more cover in and to see what happens with players gameshape I may need to bring in cover there.

This is a list of players I believe will or are close to making the team next season or the season after (20 & 19 year olds, I haven't scouted 18yr olds as I think you know if you have a good rookie and should be training them hard without encouragement!)

Bill Bull
Richard Lindsey
Nicholas Farah
Bud Byron
Seth Jones
Phillip Brocklehurst
Kevin Rigby
Reiner Saison
Ahsan Vaidhyanathan
Gao Chengfu
Ricky Jackson
Roger Haynes
Lindsey Chan

I will try message everyone that has a player in either of these lists and have a chat about their training plans and offer advice where I can. If I haven't listed a player here and you want to know why, just give me a message, I may of missed someone :P

Also if anyone knows of any good NZ players that is in an overseas team, let me know :P

This years team looks REALLY good, i think we'll do well in our pool.

and thanks for considering seth jones. Goodluck with the coaching job!

Yeah we have drawn an easy pool I think :) But we still need our team to improve to make it as far as possible!

Just sent you a message about Seth :)

Just to help the NZ U21 team along a bit

Check out this list (http://www.bb-stats.org/ntscout.php?p_country=52&s_co...)

Thanks Nik, I was just about to suggest the same thing.

Sammy, congratulations! I don't know if you've checked out our NT database yet, but I have mostly everyone you mentioned scouted/inputted/ranked in my database. Might want to check it out. I could get you admin rights so that you can play around with it as well.

Thanks Nik and namssor. I will check out the DB and would love admin rights. Would like to add a few players in there :)

I also checked out the BB-Stats scouter but it's hard when overseas leagues never get updated!

The one on my DB is fully up to date for this season, and you don't have to sort by foreign country it just finds every Kiwi in the world at once.
I'll talk to the US NT coach (wozzvt) who runs the database and see if he can add you in.

Ooooo! That sounds awesome! Thanks man!

It doesn't automatically get updated.

There are about 400 people everyday updating random leagues, so be patient. I only enabled the season 12 updating on Sunday

Have also added Stewart Garvey who is a 20yr old PF to the team. Have realised I need another SG for when I am playing outside attacking strategies so am on the lookout. Anyone have any suggestions?
