2) Tell us about your draft class.
I'm gonna talk about S18, since that's a class I know much more intimately compared to the S28 class that I've just joined. I'm sure S28 will end up being a great draft, but S18 had some notable people and events that I want to highlight as Hanyadi's career ends.
The first notable thing about S18 was that it was the second NFL reddit class the ISFL ever had. After slm did some negotiating with the mods all the way back in S15, we now have a consistent schedule where we get to post about the league once every couple of months, and these are usually big marquee classes. S18 was no different, with 105 players joining the league before the S17 DSFL draft (myself included), and 6 more joining before the ISFL draft, bringing the class's total to 111 players. Granted, plenty of them were inactive, but we also have some huge names that people will definitely recognize.
Starting off, we have Bex, the current commissioner of the league, former NOLA running back and currently joining me as part of the S28 draft class as a QB. I don't need to say much more about her, she had a meteoric rise through HO and very quickly became the main operator of the league. She's helped grow the league immensely with massive classes in S22 and S25 and done a lot to help revolutionize the league, including greenlighting the casino, Dotts and deciding to move to a new sim.
Laser is another big name from this class, with him being the GM of Orange County for 9 seasons. With the Otters, Laser won two rings and finished with a career record of 86-42 as a GM. While he may not have been able to sustain the success he achieved in the early years, he kept OCO competitive and made sure they were a threat every season. As a player, Laser was no slouch, winning CBoTY and Pro Bowl honors in S23. While he may not have been a super flashy player like some of the other guys in the class, he's a lockdown corner and has definitely made an impact in Orange County while he was there. He also retired this season, along with myself and Bex, creating a quarterback as well. It is entirely possible he will rejoin Orange County, the team has a history with him and Ramza won't be around forever, so it'll be interesting to see how everything shakes up.
What good would it be talking about S18 without mentioning the media mogul himself, Isa? While he may be much quieter nowadays and he may have retired early, Isa was a media monster in the early months of the S18 class. His S18 Mock Draft still holds the record as the longest media piece ever written on the forum, clocking in at an absolutely gargantuan 56,423 words. Combine that with a 1.5x draft media bonus, and Isa made himself a cool $142 million on one article. While he may not be blitzing out media like he did in the good old days, he's still one of the richest people in the league and is well liked by many. He retired much earlier than most, but he quickly recreated and is still in the league to this day as a part of Colorado.
It might seem egotistical, but I have to mention myself as well. I may not have had the impact that Laser, Isa and Bex had on the league. I did GM for Minnesota for a couple of seasons and help set up the Awards committee, but those are admittedly minor things compared to winning two Ultimus trophies, being the commissioner and being one of the most prolific media writers the league has ever seen and likely will ever see. However, Hanyadi is by far the best player to come out of the S18 class and likely will be the only one to make the player HoF. Bex will almost certainly make the user HoF one day, and I think Laser has a decent case at GM Hof, but Hanyadi blows all of their respective players out of the water. The only person in the same solar system in terms of achievements is probably Rubbe, who was a massively underrated player in the draft and turned out to be one of the best offensive linemen of all time. Even Rubbe can only scratch Hanyadi's legacy, and he will go down as one of the best running backs in the history of the league.
There are simply far too many people in this class to mention. Cue, current quarterback for the Outlaws, has been one of my main rivals since I entered the league. Fuzzy Dotson, while he hasn't been super effective in the big leagues, was another rival I had way back in my DSFL days. There's Orien Drake, the guy who I shared the backfield with in Yellowknife for a couple of seasons until he unfortunately went IA. There's Rubbe, the leader of the human OL movement and someone who put the position back on the map.
While a lot of the S18 class has either retired or gone IA, some of them still truck onwards and continue to make an impact. And out of those that have retired, plenty of them have made a huge impact on the league one way or another. (900 words)
