Yes, soon small nations will be able to become stronger. However, the NT team will get a boost later than the U21s. I think by the end of the season it is necessary to outline some plan, how and who to train


I‘d rather outlay that plan now, rather sooner than later. Highlander is training the NTs future guards. But does have too many young players to give everyone training. So maybe we could find someone who could take on some of his trainees and continue their training? And I guess you‘re destined to train the frontcourt players...right now I‘m sitting in a train so it‘s not so easy via mobile phone to navigate the site and make a plan. But I intend to make suggestions to you, might take until the end of next week, maybe sooner. And then we‘ll talk.

I am not selling any players (Lyle, Fitchy, Boyd, MacNeilly, Fletcher) as I want to stay homegrown. But I am willing to sell my draftees and have accumulated lots of draft points. I am sure that Lyle, Fitchy and Boyd will be part of the national team for a long time. They already have a TSP of 100+. MacNeilly's TSP is also in the mid 90s. Fletcher is a wasted talent, I am aware of that, but he will be a solid role player for my homegrown team.

As for my Utopia team, I am trying to "save" Jim MacIlvride who has high potential, but a low TSP (52) for a 20 year old.

Yes, I thought you had told me something alike. It‘s just important that the three main guys (Lyle, Fitchy, Boyd) will get the best training, they‘re three pillars for the new scottish NT. MacNeilly will probably not get into the NT if he‘s trainee no 4, but you never know. More
important is that you‘ll have some good draftees to sell. And saving a 20y old with high potential is worthwile, at least for the moment in scotland. I‘ve done the same with a couple of korean players. Almost all of them ended up on the NT. But it’s not the easiest path after having lost 2 full seasons of training. But as I said, not impossible and I‘m very glad that you‘re trying everything to get scotland moving up again! Thanks!!

Thanks for the info. Yes, he‘s finally out if the cup and therefore his minutes seem to be ok...still not ideal if you have to rely on his manager to lose in the cup in order to get good GS but I guess we‘ll have to take what we have.

Well, that hurts. I was pretty sure they wouldn’t go with LI and either go with LP or PtB. So I decided to put a half GDP. Turns out I bet on the wrong horse (is that even a saying in Scotland?). Anyway. Let‘s hope that despite the wrong GDP we‘ll have a shot at winning this game. Winning it is almost impossible as Norway is way better than us and did not underestimate us. But we‘ll see...

Well, I guess it was still worth a try. But even without the wrong GDP, we probably would have lost. The third quarter killed us. But still - a nice enough effort of our (mainly) old guys. I really wanted to win that game but hey - we're not there yet. We also need a lot of luck, even better GS and most importantly: more young guys that get perfect training. But we're working on that, aren't we? So we'll have to be patient for now ... thanks for sticking with me. Even though it's mostly losses as I "promised" .. (and I really don't like losing at all, just to make that clear ...)

Not much to say. I wanted to win that game. And would have. If not for Rory‘s injury after 11 minutes. And with Doles in better GS we still would have won. But losing that game really sucks. Even if I promised you I‘d not win many games and be the worst NT manager if you just looked at the win-loss-ratio. But ok. That‘s life. It‘s still not a bad season. the two 22y olds did a good job today and earn precious experience. Next season, more young guys will join the team. And. that shall be the start of a new scottish team that will be competitive in about 6-7 seasons, with some luck even a bit earlier...

Thaks for helping me and communicating with me (even if it sometimes takes a couple of days or more to reply)...

Losing by 2 is tough, especially since we had two chances to win the game in the last 15 seconds. Great comeback - no reward...

Yes, can't be helped. Even though I expected something like that I still don't like losing games. Especially not those where there's a great chance to win it ...

First of possibly up to three games against England. It was a long shot to try to win the game but I had some small hopes with Doles and Spens in good GS and HCA on our side. Didn’t work out. Only during the second quarter. But hey, -25 isn‘t too bad, allthings considered. We had a starting 5 debut by Lyle, being subbed by Fitchy. And wow: they know their homecourt well, it seems. Lyle scoring 12 points and dishing out a game high 9 (!) assists. I hope we‘ll see more of those stats regularly in the future. And Fitchy going 3-3 for 6 points. Looking good. Next week (on our away game in England) we‘ll probably be seeing the debut of 2-3 21 y old players. Highlander is very kind to let them get off the roster early to join our NT roster which is rapidly decreasing its average age...I really hope to be reading the names of those young players during the next 10-15 seasons on the boxscores...

Cheers everyone!
