(S26) Ultimus Week

2) Tell us about your draft class. Is there anything that makes it special in comparison to other classes? Where did your fellow draftees land, how are they doing? Did anyone turn out to be an unexpected steal of that draft based on what you know today? Do you think anyone in your draft class will become a hall of famer? If you’re new to the league, how do you think your class will do? Where do you think people will get drafted to?

The Class of S27 is actually really curious. It has an immense level of quality not due to reddit but instead due to a big crossover with the SHL. A number of big name SHL users made the jump over this past season, and they're all about to be drafted to the ISFL. I wanted to recap those of us (over 100 TPE, and in order of TPE), for the benefit of the teams that don't have much SHL presence in their war rooms.

sve7en (hi) - Madison Hayes (267 TPE, Running Back) - SMJHL GM, Event Team head, media network co-founder, and talk show host. It's been a year to the day that I learned about sim leagues, still going strong, and I actually had Amidships, r0tzbua, Dewalt, Revolution5, Blasoon, and Gucci all on the team I run this season.

treant - James Wilkinson (265 TPE, Tight End) - While I haven't interacted with them much in the SHL, Treant has fully overcome his past reputation as an inactive risk. They're comfortably earning in the J right now, just 50 TPE back of the class lead (650 vs 706)

overdoo - Lawrence Miller (250 TPE, Cornerback) - My co-GM with the Carolina Kraken, overdoo came into the SHL as a first gen a few seasons ago and has been a great locker room presence and friend to many. While we didn't get much time as teammates, this university student has the same energy for sim leagues that I do.

FleshBagSoup - SparkySparky Boom-man (227 TPE, Safety) - Soup was actually one of the first people I met from the ISFL, back in March or so last year. They're not a max earner over there, but their candidness and desire to be a team player has remained something admirable.

Sabremike - Kita Chiasa (225 TPE, Cornerback) - My friend in Anaheim has reported good things, and we liked him in Carolina but the draft didn't pan out. Our only concern was their real life demands and Mike is still earning well.

thecanadiancanuck - Kevin Morrison (223 TPE, Linebacker) - Boom, as I know them, is one of my favorite people in the SHL. We were in the same draft class together and now work as peers as Juniors GMs. I've always loved my conversations with them, and they were one of the people that convinced me to give this a shot.

TheRealMazatt - Candice D. Fitinyomouf (221 TPE, Defensive Tackle) - Another of the Carolina war room to come over, watching him and overdoo become good friends while in Carolina is one of my favorite moments of being a GM. He's been a captain in Carolina, and keeping him around as management afterwards was a great decision.

AW13 - Joliet Christ Jr. (215 TPE, Quarterback) - Warren's last SHL player was actually on his way out as I was climbing up, so we didn't cross paths much. Him and a number of his friends all created again as the Petrov clan and it's been fun to see them having a good time in the J. You guys know him well over here though.

TheDangaZone - Preston Parker (212 TPE, Running Back) - Carolina war room member number 4, and one of my current SHL GMs, TDZ is a veteran of the scene and while not max earning is a great personality to have around. Like the other GMs, we have our main focus, but we're less likely to flake out.

AgentSmith - Borgo San Lorenzo (210 TPE, Tight End) - Smith is an irl friend technically, but I pressured him in to joining the SHL. Since then he's low key gotten addicted to it, working as the Juniors simmer and taking a Co-GM spot at the SHL level. He loves to crank out draft media articles and isn't likely to miss equipment.

SeymourSnatches - Bean Beanman (208 TPE, Defensive End) - A rookie in the SMJHL, he's earning well for a team with title aspirations. We liked him in Carolina, but Gabe liked him a lot, so take that how you will.

Southie - Devonte Crook (198 TPE, Linebacker) - Kinda faded out on the SHL side, but also in PBE from what I remember. Earning decently now, but I don't have much to report here.

TheSparkyDee - Mike Hunt (174 TPE, Wide Receiver) - Sparky is a fun dude, he helps with simming in the SHL and has been a blast to get to know a bit better while together in the DSFL. He's fun to talk football with, and is earning decently in the same class as Mazatt and overdoo.

Gumbaman - Jason Bradshaw (166 TPE, Cornerback) - The fifth Carolina war room member by TPE, but the newest to sim leagues. Gumba loves playing with the tactics and sliders, and has been super ambitious and energized in the SHL, but he's a Pittsburgh fan.

FuzzISFL - Carter Fox (123 TPE, Defensive Tackle) - The sixth Carolina war room member by TPE, and the head GM of my SHL team. Fuzz followed my player to the big leagues in the SHL, so he's been my GM for a year at this point. I was his Co in Carolina, and he was the one that really got me into the SHL. 10/10 dude, but hella busy with life and with running an SHL team.

Retuperkele - Demetre Elliott (101 TPE, Linebacker) - More Carolina guys, Retu is one of our gems. We picked him up after the draft last season and he's been a blast to have around, especially because of the energy he brings to the noon live streams as a European.
