13. mitsubishi - our 2nd highest rated promotee already notched an impressive victory against the always dangerous bucsblue squad. they'll probably need to bring in 2 more starters to be considered a contender, but in order to avoid relegation, they'll also have to make moves. the first place they'll probably look is forward. manager tomasis14 has been around the block, since season 11, so he knows what's up. it wouldn't surprise me at all if they avoided relegation and became a factor in the near future, but this season is not that season, more than likely. good luck staying in the league fellas.
14. homeboyz - talk about an old-head, this guy has been around since season 8. not his first rodeo in d3, and he's been near promotion to d2 before. after a long road of painful finals losses in d4, he's finally back, and he knows enough to know that he'd better make a move if he wants to stay here. his most recent addition is a trainee, and even with a really nice win against bucsblue, the team makeup itself looks to be in threat of getting relegated. we'll see, of course. i wouldn't doubt if he has a mountain of cash stockpiled, and blew everyone's minds with the purchases in the near future.
15. dang88 - in no way do i mean to sound condescending, but it's honestly shocking he made it out of d4 with the lineup he had. it's a true testament to skill in management. making something out of nothing. that's impressive. i don't see his stay lasting too long, however. if he wants to stay up, there is so very much work he needs to do, and idk if he has the funds to do it all. if he is going to go for it, look for him to drop big bucks on a pf and a guard. a season 22 vet, 1 season less than myself, he has a lot of time to get back to d3 in the near future and make a real name for himself in a league that's hopefully a little less... well... viscious. seriously how many awesome teams are here? there's probably 4 teams here that would win half the other leagues. jesus guys, ease up eh?
16. snake river - they packed it in. i mean, i guess they might have the cash to reload this season, but most of it was spent snagging big name rookies in the transfer market, not to mention the money spent on the new expo. it was a good run in d3 for snake river, i'd bet the farm they make it back with a vengeance in the near future.
