I’ve talked a bit in the past about the GM change in Philly after my rookie year in the ISFL. It almost feels like cheating to talk about it again, but it definitely fits the PT. If Pat and Cody had not become the GMs in Philly, my future with the Liberty would definitely be in doubt. Maybe I would have re-signed after my rookie deal, primarily just to keep playing with J0EB, but after that, I may have moved on to a team in a more successful situation. Re-signing probably wouldn’t have been a 3 season deal with a NTC like I’m on now. It probably would’ve been just a two season deal or even just one. It’s hard to say where else I would’ve been interested in playing. At the time of the draft I thought I might be going to Colorado, but with Soup’s signing there after the drama in Philly after my first year, the idea of playing for Colorado soured. I had enjoyed my scouting conversation in Chicago before the draft, so maybe I would be interested in going there. Of course, that reminds of of another what if: where might I have gone if Philly passed on me in the third? Chicago had the very next pick. I think there’s a good chance I would go there based on that previously mentioned scouting conversation. Arizona doesn’t stick out to me, and at the time I had made it clear I did not want to go to Honolulu due to an issue I had with their scouting process (nothing personal). Maybe Berlin would be an option, but if all those passed on me I think there’s no chance Orange County would pass on me, especially with my old Norfolk GM Blasoon being a big influence there (and who would later become the GM of the place).
