Temat: USA U-20 Team

Maybe they treat NT managers as ProPackers? So he might be dismissed after 50 days, 10/22 or 10/23.

Good luck with the team next term, Ziggy

When the manager of a national team loses the regular team, the experience of the manager falls to 0.

I would support either of you for a position.

When I have a chance, I can supply the scouting information.

I have all the 18 year-olds on the National team scouted.

Great - let me know if you want the scouting information for any players that aren't currently on the team if you don't already have them scouted. There were at least a few borderline cases that could still be worth consideration.

dammit. I even had him as an assistant manager to help him learn the ropes and taught him a few things. Also asked him to get an assistant of his own to help him out. A little disappointed with how things turned out.

Anyway, I have the entire team scouted but can't take the responsibility to manage the U20 team. I'm really busy and barely having enough time to manage my club teams.

It is getting to be winter so I will have more time to spend on the game but will still need help finding players.

Possibly interesting players that I have scouted who are not on the U18 team (based on their original teams):
1) Clay Stovall (Updog Brewers - II.3)
2) Rafael Corley (Irresistible Force - I.1)
3) William Rambeau (Rainbow Unicorns - II.2)
4) Bert Kinney (season 12 London Silly Nannies - II.2)
5) Todd Burless (HC Sterling Cheetahs - II.1)
6) Matthew Tran (Goldfish - I.1)
7) Joe Hutchinson (Yellowknife Goldminers - II.2)
8) McKinley Tacey (West Chester Red Wings - I.1)
9) Nelson Van Buren (Montana Miners - I.1)
10) Nathan Davis (Faketown Mascots - I.1)
11) Darrel Hoffman (Smuggling Grapes - II.3)
12) Jerry Rosenberg (DHC Corsairs - II.3)
13) Graig Reyna (Montana Miners - I.1)
14) Darrell Gauthier (Faketown Masocts - I.1)
15) Clay Issakson (Boilermakers - I.1)
16) Theodore Forman (Spirit Crushers - I.1)
17) Harvey Greenfield (STL Saints - I.1)
18) Trae Fischer (North Stars - II.3)
19) Gilbert Vera (Bombsville Atomics - II.4)
20) Nolan Laird (High Hitterz - I.1)
21) Nic Jackson (Salt Lake Karma Police/Arlington Drifters - II.3)
22) Pete Royal (Faketown Mascots - I.1)
23) Ryan Mason (Smuggling Grapes - II.3)
24) Junior Riddle (Montana Miners - I.1)
25) Ethan Blunt (Montana Miners - I.1)
26) Alan Cornett (Spirit Crushers - I.1)
27) Jerry Kilborn (Montana Miners - I.1)

These are most of the 18 year olds not on the U18 that I have scouted. I have a few more scouted that aren't as good as well as a lot of younger players.

I can send the scouting information later (though it would help if you could eliminate a few players you definitely wouldn't be interested in first).

I will look through them and tell you in the future who that I need info on. Thanks.

I just noticed that tujague seems to have managed to take the assistant position on the U20. Did they finally make an exception, or did pennskid log back on at some point?

At least the U20 won't play every game on very low.

Someone else in the Admin forums asked about this in another country. vlady took care of it, so I contacted him about helping us out as well. I told him Ziggy would probably be running the team next season, so he should be the Assistant. Or he could add me if that was easier/quicker. I just wanted it taken care of asap. At least we won't get screwed for the first game or two.

On the plus side, Penskid (or the previous manager?) did set up the lines correctly. All the best players (of the ones on the team, I don't know if anyone is missing) are in the right spots. And the chemistry is very good.

If anyone knows of a better player not on the team, maybe we could add them for a backup. But, like I said, the chem is really good. Probably not a good idea to make any changes now.

I'm pretty sure that JOJO added all of the players from the U18 team before Pennskid took over, and I don't think Pennskid made any changes. I listed the best players fro my spreadsheet that didn't make the U18 team last year above.

I'm pretty sure there were at least a few good 20 year olds from the U18 from 2 years ago that didn't make the U20 - I'll look at my spreadsheet from that year to see if I can find anyone interesting.

Quickly looking at the roster from 2 seasons ago, the following players aren't on the U20 but could be serviceable on the 4th or "5th" line:

1) Primo Dankert - W - Dexter is a C and not a LW, and Dankert is probably better than any alternative C (I suppose that Dexter might have taken over for an injury last week).
2) Warrick Knowles - RW
3) Daniel Carter - RD
4) Clifford Lorenz - LD

1) Dankert (W):
422-261-216-210
90-76-89-71
4/6

2) Knowles (RW):
437-328-219-219
92-81-96-99
4/6

3) Daniel Carter (RD):
457-124-230-230-230
99-87-94-99-74
5/6

4) Clifford Lorenz (LD):
403-141-202-191-202
99-95-90-92-99
4/6
