Do you think, at the age of 23, he can still get the primaries he needs to be elite? I'm considering bidding.

I think so Calum. He's basically a couple inside pops ahead of my guy (carino) and a couple outside pops behind, and I still have high hopes for what i can get carino to. probably worth plugging into the training planner to see what's reasonable, though.

Thanks wozz. I'll do that. Also, what we thinking as final price? 2.5m-3m? Always higher for an american though, so could go higher?

Yup. You'll be training him probably till age 26/27, but that's fine. A stud like that you don't mind training forever.

I'm willing to train him as a guard, but I probably don't have enough cash to get him. Actually, I could switch one of my other trainees to inside skills also, but then I'd definitely need some early bid help.

So what was the final bid, I was willing to try to keep him here for NT team training, but after 2.8 or so it was out of my price range.

I watched the bidding up to 2.8, was going to step in and try to keep him around for training, but after that it was out of my price range. Wouldn't have been able to afford Div II, a decent trainer and keep my team together.

Freedom still isn't free dbags.

When I started this thread several seasons back, the first player we talked about was a rookie named Tobe McCullough, and no one wanted to buy him because he had 1 IS. Well now TMac is a beast with plenty of IS and we are all fools. So PLEASE if you are considering buying a rookie this season, keep an eye out on the TL, and buy American!

We've got a lot of NT players in the NBBA, as well as some future NT prospects. A lot of our NT bigs now are in the NBBA (AJ, Bland, Good, Nielsen, Ferland, Boudreaux). Our main SFs are USA owned. Outside of Goddard and Dennison, not many of our guards are USA owned. With possible game engine changes coming, maybe these high salary guards will be better options.
