(S25) - Ultimus Week

[Hordle]

Code:

15) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S25 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?

The league has been a lot of fun so far. Everyone has been super helpful and fun to be around. People like zEagle, Mag, and South have been super helpful when it comes to building my player and shaping my career. Mag helped me out a lot while I was learning to navigate the forums. Helping me make sure that I didn’t miss out on any tpe or things that I needed to fill out.

Also a big shout out to Glims and the KCC locker room for showing me what an LR was like. If it wasn’t for that I can’t say that I would still be around. The regular ISFL discord is far too crazy for me.

zEagle gave me a good start on being an oline. Giving me direction on how to build an Oline and making my player as strong as he could be. Currently having a great season with 40 Pancakes and only 1 sack allowed. He’s currently one of the top Oline of his class. Of course I’d like to be number one but we’ll take the good start to the season.

Also have to give a shout out to the Ducks for giving me the chance to play and keep their Rookie QB off the ground. Being drafted was an experience. I was shocked to go so early. Being Oline, I expected to fall to the third round or later. But Minnsota took a chance on me with their second round pick and I feel like I’ve done well enough to earn that honor. Going from one of the worst records in the league last season to playoff contention for this one. I think they’re pick wasn’t a waste .

I went from being in zero sim leagues to being in three. All because of ISFL/DSFL and the fun that I was having. I’m really hoping to stick around and maybe lead a team at some point. But at the very least I plan on having at least two more players. The saddest thing is not being able to be a true rookie again. Not getting to experience the first time you get invited to a locker room or the first time you get drafted. There's a different experience the first time. Seeing your name get called early when you very well expected to drop later in the draft.

To wrap this all up, I’ve got one more shout out. Thanks to ART for being a great guy and helping me with an article dream I had before our draft. Even if we didn’t finish it. He didn’t have to do it. He could have taken the idea and just done it himself. But it was a lot of fun and set up my bank account for the future. So thanks dude. You a real one.

22) Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, highlights, or totally fraudulent mail-in ballots. Whatever rookies get up to these days.

ISFL Scouting Report for Alexander Franklin.

Standing in at 6 foot 3 inches tall. Weighting 331 pounds. Alexander Franklin is a true North Carolina born man. Living in the state for his entire life. Franklin went to school at UNC. In 2041, Franklin declared for the draft and was picked up by the Minnesota Gray Ducks. A team that had a rough going the year before. The Ducks were able to turn it around and have a playoff run this season. Even though it was cut short. Franklin stood out among rookie lineman.

Racking up a total of forty seven pancakes and only one sack allowed. The following is a breakdown of some of the games. Showing Franklin's consistency and strengths.

In the first game of the season. Where the Ducks faced the Luchadors, the eventual champions. The ducks pulled out a close victory. The final score was 13 to 10. In this game Franklin had four pancakes and zero sacks allowed.

The third game of the season was an exact copy of the first for Franklin. However the Ducks ended up losing. But Franklin pulled out another four sack game.

This seems to be the number for A. Franklin as he had four games with four pancakes. But this seemed to be the area of effect for Franklin. As his highest number of pancakes in a game was five.

28) Select any player who was drafted in the back half of a DSFL or ISFL draft. Show how that player has outperformed their draft position, or how they will soon do so. You cannot write about your own player.

Mario Messi was drafted by Portland at pick thirty seventh  and would go on to be the second overall leader in receiving yards his rookie season. Sitting behind only Z, Crossley. Messi had a hell of a season for being a later pic. Being targeted eighty eight times. Messi was able to pull out a solid eight hundred and eighty six receiving yards. His longest being a thirty three yard catch and run. His average yardage was around ten meaning that he was the go to when Portland needed the first down. Being his QB’s Lebron James’ favorite target on the season. It’s easy to see why.

Not only was Messi second in receiving, he led the league in touchdowns with eight on the year. It’s pretty obvious that Messi did better than many believed he would. Out performing the other rookies in his class by at least six yards and three touchdowns. Would not be surprised to see Messi go earlier in the ISFL draft. Even if he stays down for another season expect him to dominate the field once again.

Sure hands and speed to get down the field. Everything you want in a WR and a steal at pick thirty seven. Put that name on your radar people, Mario Messi!
