[USML Announce] USML - Roster moves

[Mark Blocker]

Kerber:

 

  Let me interpret this for you.  The coach of the Glenbrook North high school team is Dave Weber, and his brother Bruce Weber is the coach of the University of Illinois men?s basketball team.  When Scheyer was selecting a college, his ?final two? were Duke and Illinois.  Illini fans wrongly assumed he was going to choose Illinois because of the coach connection, and when he selected Duke, Illini fans elected to treat him like a pariah.  This sentiment is, of course, ridiculous (Doug, he?s not Eric Gordon), and its not as if fans were misled, since Scheyer has been saying since he was in grade school that he wanted to go to Duke.

Scheyer is a cheat, traitor and whiner. Treat him accordingly.

  Once FAAB bidding begins, bidding works just like last year: bids are due on midnight on Saturday.  Onroto processes the bids over night, and then you can see who won each player on Sunday morning, and if you won the player, make appropriate roster adjustments, if needed.



  As for Duke, my connection is to one of the players.  Jon Scheyer, Duke?s leading scorer, went to Glenbrook North High School here in Northbrook.  In 2005, he led GBN to a state basketball title (my kids and I went to almost all of the games on the road to the title, including the championship game), which is still one of my favorite sports memories.  When Scheyer announced he was going to Duke, I adopted the Blue Devils and have been rooting for him/them ever since (and if you walk around Northbrook, you will see that I am not alone; tons of Duke-wear).  At first it seemed like a poor choice because Duke seemed to be the masters of early tourney exits, but tomorrow night will finally be the payoff.

Once FAAB bidding begins, the deadline for bids is noon Central time, right?



Block:  Do you have a Duke connection, or are you just a fan?  Very cool that you'll be there either way.  (Since I know very little about b'ball, I'll stick w/ the Kentucky Derby.)

League:



  This is just a reminder email that you can set your rosters and that the deadline for doing so is noon tomorrow (Sunday).  As another reminder, there is no FAAB bidding this week, so please do not submit any FAAB bids.

P.S.  GO DUKE !!!  Andy, I?ll be in Indy on Monday night!
