Why dont you just go out on the transfer list and search for players?

Obviously, I don't know what the perfect C trainee looks like, or I would. I'm asking on here because I wanted help finding the best trainee I could.

I got three EXCELLENT responses in email. Thanks to you three for that info. It was a MAJOR help. Showed me more what I needed to be looking for in big man traniees. If anyone else wants to help me, please hit me up in mail and it will be appreciated.

Why can't people just tell you what a good trainee looks like? Any player above 6'8'', with IS+ID+RB > 18, secondaries that aren't terrible (I would take the other 7 main skills summed, JS+JR+OD+HA+DR+PA+SB to be over 25), and allstar potential or more is a decent enough C prospect.

Why can't I just ask people on here like I did, and them show me some good players like they did? I don't see a problem with that.

Thanks to those of you who have helped. I'm continuing to get good responses in mail, and I do appreciate it.

Maybe because link to players on the transfer market is forbidden ?

Please go back and read my very first post. I never asked for anyone to post them on here, and not one single person has posted one on here. So what is your point? Just wanting to be confrontational? I clearly gave them my Facebook info to contact me outside of here.

They're sending them to me in mail, not on here. Sorry that you didn't see that.

Some people just want to argue and be jerks on here. Instead of trying to help me when I ask for help, on a friggin help forum, I get silly stuff from a couple saying "WHY DON"T YOU LOOK THEM UP YOURSELF?"

Dang, I never thought asking for help on a help forum would cause such an uproar.

Again, thanks to those who have helped. You've been a great help. I've got some very good players to look at. You've helped me understand better what to look for in secondary skills. Thanks for being mature, helpful individuals. Some on here could learn a lot from you.

There's nothing wrong in asking for help, and the people that replied to you did a good job in helping you out. I just found it weird that you're basically asking someone to search the player market for you and send the best results. Sometimes people ask for personal replies to get training advice, or some evaluation of the roster, something like that. That's more or less the equivalent of going to a forum to ask for tips on how to install a complicated program in Linux. You're just asking (and offering a reward?) someone to do a google search and email you the results.

No, I'm asking people to help me find the best trainee possible, because I obviously do not know what a great C trainee looks like.

I've trained Guards for three seasons now and not done a very good job of it because I didn't know what I needed to know. I started with bad trainees because I didn't come here and get help. Never trained a big man or even looked into it, so I asked on here for help in finding one. And yes, I said I would compensate someone for their time if that is what they wanted to help me. I see nothing wrong with this, and it's apparently not against the rules here.

I don't have the resources to be able to study this subject right now and know how important secondary skills are and what secondary skills mean anything to big men. I'm also in another state for work and do not have a PC, so I'm working off my phone, and if you've never worked the TL from a cell phone, then you have no clue how difficult my job is right now. So I figured I'd come here for help.

This is how I view a good 18 YO PF/C draftee. And just so you know, the number I put here are the least amount I like dealing with.
