Season 13 started off with an allstar game level of intensity in our scrimmage against Poland U21. Poland has a very talented roster, and I was happy to see us come away with a 126-117 win. Both teams had around 1 for enthusiasm, which drastically reduces defense in particular (enthusiasm drops on national teams every time you remove a player from the roster, and lots of players were added and removed recently for scouting purposes).

The next two weeks, there will be more scrimmages for us, as we wait for the repechage tournament to play out (it will determine the last 4 teams that will make the world championships). The roster will likely be held down to 9 actual players for the scrimmages, to maintain some extra flexibility for when the games start to count.

This week the U21 will be playing a scrimmage against the Phillipines (one of the teams that also will be in the world championships, when it starts up in a few weeks). I arranged to play the game in Canada, so game time will be at 7:00 PM EST, on Monday, July 12.

There is one scrimmage week left before the games that count start. The world championships are going to be in Lieutva this season, and to get things going a bit early, our last scrimmage will be played in Lieutva against the United States U21. This means that game time will be at 10:30 AM EST, on Monday, July 19. That will be the game time for the whole upcoming tournament, and hopefully this scrimmage will help provide everyone with some advance notice about the game time issue.

There is alot more to a U21 player than salary. With that said I cant see your players attributes, but with his potential and size he appears interesting. Care to share his build??

I'd say join the offsite forum and then share his build LOL. Just an idea.

Agreed. I was simply asking to see if he did want to share his bild info. Even just knowing a few skills is helpful in evaluating players with high salary.

I think I went on record saying that Cashmore would never play for any team of mine, no matter what his salary. Not surprised that The Mogul has left him out.

I have Cashmore on the list of 20 year old C/PFs to watch (there is another thread about this, where I post some very rough rankings). As mentioned by some others, I also think that salary isn't a very accurate measure of how good a player is, as it only reflects certain skills (while ignoring others that can have a big impact in games). With that said, Cashmore is still I guy whose development I'm following, and he's currently on the radar for the U21 team (it's most likely that he would be competing for a spot next season, although you never know).
