Pretty sure he has no chance to make the team, but hes my star trainee so i figured i'd keep his info updated. This year i'm moving back to outside training, might mix that up with some 1v1 inside. tho i'm open to any suggestions you guys have about his training.

At the moment he is behind other guard prospects so I would just train him the way you feel necessary and keep him in good GS. Keep in mind Kenneth Culver last season did not play a single U21 NT game last season until eventually playing in both the semi final and final because he stuck with it and remained in good GS.

Where did everybody go? Am I late to the party? I don't know what position would be best for the guy, center or small forward.

I think SF is out. 1 OD with a 6'9 will take a long time.

I don't know off hand how this guy compares to others but you will definitely need to +2 IS and alot of rebounding to be considered.

Step 1: Edit Gaylord Crocker to look like Ben Stiller because that obviously increases his chances tremendously.
Step 2: Wait for the scouts to contact you very soon and discuss training options. You can also contact the U21 manager directly after the pending elections. In the mean time, just about anything is a safe training option as you'll need some pops in all guard skills before their time comes.

Given that this first week of the season is a short week with only a scrimmage and you have two draftees you want to train, 1v1 forwards is a safe starting point. Within a week (before next training update), I would guess that a U21 scout will have contacted you and you guys can discuss a longer-term plan moving forward. But when in doubt, it's hard to go wrong starting off with either some 1v1 forwards for elastic effect or pressure for the most important skill in the game.

Very nice prospect you have there. I recommend training his OD and Passing to proficient. Next, I would throw in some 1v1 and JS Guards until his JS/HA/DR all hit strong. If you have more questions, feel free to join the offsite community: http://s3.zetaboards.com/BuzzerBeater_USA_NT/index/

Good luck training him!
