My trainees are coming along nicely. They are currently getting trained in almost all skills. Starting next year though they will start to focus on more of a select few.
As for predictions I think the Great 8 is too much of a toss up at this point. In the Big 8 I think its finally the North Carolina Pirates season. I feel a lot of our teams are pretty close talent wise. So if someone buys a 40k+ center I could easily see them becoming the new favorite.
