12/8/12 - Rivals.com

The In-Season Recruiting signing period has come to a close and the first thing that jumps out is all of the guards that are All-Americans this season. There are 22 guards out of the 25 who are 5*.

The ACC once again has the most 5 star recruits signed at the end of the signing period. However, 4 of the 5 signed recruits are headed to Durham, NC to be with either Coach K or Roy Williams. It seems like the ACC is starting to turn into a conference dominated by either Duke or UNC as they are currently the only two ranked teams in the conference and are snatching the top recruits. There are rumors that there are 2 more top recruits headed to the Duke/North Carolina.

John Calipari grabbed another top recruit in the #1 Power Forward in the recruiting class. "Duncan Edwin (6'7, 205 lbs) seems to be another typical Calipari player" said UK Rivals insider Will Westley, "Calipari found out about the player last season and has been recruiting him hard ever since."

This will add depth to an already top 5 Kentucky team. This would of course be assuming that player like Kidd-Gilchrist and Anthony Davis stay for their junior year.

The defending champions, Pitt, have been in a sort of rebuilding season after losing a lot of talent from their championship team. Coach Jamie Dixon can definitely build around #11 (#21 overall) point guard Roger Appleby.

Ivy League Top Recruiting Classes - 2012-13
RK	TEAM	5	4	3	2	1	TOTAL
1	Yale Bulldogs				3		3
2	Columbia Lions				3		3
3	Harvard Crimson				3		3
4	Cornell Big Red				1		1

So far in the Ivy League, 4 of the 8 teams have gotten Letters of Intent. The Yale Bulldogs currently have signed the best player in the recruiting class. Corey Clayton, a 6'6 SF (#475 ovr, #103), has shown a solid mid-range game and is a physical kid.

"Clayton is one of those tough kids who has a nice jumper" said Colby Rogers, head coach of the Brown Bears, "He will be able to add depth to a position that is losing 2 players."

Harvard has signed 3 players, best among them is a 6'8 big man. Not much is known about Tamal Logan but most are assuming he will be like Keith Wright.

There are rumors that Harvard will also sign a 3* point guard out of Massachusetts.

"Chad Sood was offered a scholarship by Harvard a couple of weeks ago" said Rogers, "If Sood does decide to head to Harvard, he will be able to make solid contributions right away."

The Brown Bears have been hitting the recruiting trail hard with losing 4 players, 2 being starters and 3 getting real minutes.

"The Bears have been trying to get better defense from their wings and have been trying hard to find it in this year's recruiting batch" said an IVY League insider.

Coach Rogers has given out one scholarship to Gabe Riddle, a 3* guard out of Massachusetts, and reports say he thinks that Riddle could be a great fit with the Bears.

"This is also an important year for Rogers to recruit well in the frontcourt. Not only will they be losing Halpern, but they will have practically no size next season if they do not sign anyone."

The Bears have shown a lot of interest in Joey Wheless, according to multiple reports.

"Obviously we cannot go and ask coach Rogers about specific information, but I think it is safe to say that they will be looking to get size to bring in next year."

Coach Rogers has also expressed that he would love to get a forward with a lethal mid-range game. There are rumors that if Rogers and the Bears are able to sign two big men, Robert Maia may make the transition to the power forward.

"Robert has a good mid-range game to go along with some nice size" said coach Rogers of his sophmore big man, "We [the coaches] definitely could see him becoming a power forward later on his career."

I have just finished high school so that gives me time to finally get back to my dynasty! Hopefully I can step it up as a coach..

Congratulations!

What are you using for sliders to give you this much of a challenge? I am just coaching, not playing. I am using the set from the only thread in the slider forum but then moved the difficulty to mop and it still seems the games are easier than they should be. I am using western illinois in the original rosters and just beat missouri a couple games ago and am sitting at 3 and 1

It's my own custom set. I'll pm them to you the next time I get on the 360.

I love the realism here. That's one of the things I regret looking back at my legacy. My sliders were way too easy at the beginning.

Of course, using coach mode helps. I wish I could get into coach mode.

I think you still can. Doesn't it ask if you want to coach the game in the same select menu as "play game", "simulate game", and what not? I feel like it does.
