If he was back on the NT there would be a better chance that there would be a taker
with the merch bonus that would bring
Then hopefully he'll get the training to help out the team going forward

taking a player on NT just because there is hope someone who buys him will train him? Don't think it should work like that.

With a season of training he will make a team anyway so then the reward (merch bonus) will come.

Got a response from EGM. Kumiko can't be released before she goes bot. Looks like first couple of games will be a walkover. I hope sparky is ready to jump in and right the ship in the moment kumiko goes bot. Feel free to use a scouting from a depth chart but I am afraid it only has superstar+ potential players

That sucks. But is what we expected.

Jarvis hopefully can be one if the starting guards. I will make sure he is ready.

ok guys, the "to do" list is growing day by day. Looks like just sending preffered training out once a season like it was done before doesnt work. In order to assure that our situation improves, managers of top 3 prospects on each position each draft class will have to be contacted more often, training has to be checked, and if not progressing then something has to be done about it.
With 24 players for each position (I am thinking 3 per seasos going from 25 year olds down) that gives grand total of 120 prospects. Now, 18 year olds would have to be contacted every 2nd week, 20 year olds every 3rd, and 22+ once a month.
What I would love to have is group of 12 managers (or however many we can get) so that one person has just 10 players under him. What do you guys think? Any volunteers? Job shouldnt take more than 1-2 hours per month

I'm busy IRL for the next 2 weeks or so, but could probably volunteer to help afterwards.

Can they add Sparky as an Asst GM? Wouldn't that give him the controls?

actually I did give couple of suggestions when mailing EGM.
One of them was to just remove Kumiko now and replace her with Sparky (that didnt go through)
Second one was to postpone enthusiasm reset since we have just two players on a team and no scouting. (thats very unlikely to happen.
Third one was to introduce a role of assistant coach but thats up to BB and wont happen this season for sure.

So it looks like we are taking full hit here. No scouting done this season outside of what I managed to do, forfeiting first 3 games, and having new manager jump in mid season

It will likely take two weeks to organize anyway.
How I see it: Each manager gets 9 (or12) players at one position. (3 from each year). So for example if Griffin gets assigned to SG and gets 18yo,19yo,and 20 yo class, he takes care just of those players. Now, in next season he will still take care of those players so 19yo,20yo,21yo class. This way it should be easier since you have ongoing communication with the same managers and also you can have a long term plan for one player, kind of like over your own trainee. So a guy who had 23yo,24yo,25yo in first season will now have 24yo,25yo, and 18yo so there is a rotation. I think thats the best way to assure that we will be back on top and for a lot longer than this time following an upcoming slump.
How do you guys like it? Any other suggestions?

I will be updating this post with managers willing to help:
