My favorite has been.. this Liddell Guy who ain't so little. We recently landed a commitment from Jack Black (not the fat comedian). He'll be joining his long-lost brother who committed to us last season. I'm also keeping an eye on this freshman.. because there's no beard like a Harley Beard.

I once drafted a guy named Dick Lovelace in Broken Bat... the guy had no talent for baseball at all but I've heard he's now in the movies. Haven't met any fun guys in Hardwood yet.

SnoozingPanda Joined: 12/15/2018 Posts: 30 Gardner-Webb Runnin Bulldogs II.2	http://onlinecollegebasketball.org/player/88487 I can only assume he goes by "Dick" But also wow 15 potential, 103 SI, 6'6" as a Freshman. Have we seen a better HS prospect than this in Hardwood? Unrelated but I would formally like to announce that Gardner-Webb is moving its campus from North Carolina to Oregon.

Blackbeard Joined: 03/17/2019 Posts: 556 St. Johns Red Storm V.3	Actually, he might want to go by "Michael" or "Mike". Then he could claim to be related (maybe a son or grand son) to one very famous musician... If I had that guy on my team I would name him Richard "Mike" Love in tribute to a person way more famous than a guy named Dick Love. Go figure.

Yuri84 Joined: 07/06/2018 Posts: 184 Portland Pilots VI.7	Kinda waited for the moment when someone brings attention to this guy. Didn't want to mention him myself because, well, the less attention he gets, the higher are my chances to get him. Surprised it took so long. Yes, he's the first pot 15 in the game iirc. Hopefully a future Pilots player. Gonna nickname him "Whole Lotta", because it's more stylish this way. :p Updated Thursday, May 28 2020 @ 11:02:37 am PDT

Blackbeard Joined: 03/17/2019 Posts: 556 St. Johns Red Storm V.3	I'm thinking about tanking the rest of this season and the next 3 seasons to give myself a better chance of getting this guy. Making history by getting the first 15 POT player ever might be worth it. Even if I sink down to conference 6. Why not, I'm never going to make any other kind of history in this game. Other than maybe having the most stupid posts in the history of HW! lol With my luck, after having tanked for 4 seasons in order to make history, that's when some new rules against tanking is enacted and then I'll lose out just like if I didn't tank. LOL
