5/1: Recruiting class #228.
New city, new state, new campus, new university- new everything! Wright State is in Dayton, Ohio. I've never spent much time in the Midwest so this will be a new experience.
Nutter Arena (Don't say it) is much bigger, seats 10,400. So if we can fill it we can generate a lot of revenue. Average attendance for the past 3 years is 3722 though.
As a reminder of what's going on here, this is a "posthumous association."
I died, and it turned out the afterlife is something you get to design for yourself. No idea if every does, but I did.
So I'd always wanted to coach college hoops, but in my other life I'd never gotten above high school. I'd always wanted to play the piano really well. We were too poor for me to ever get lessons. Now I play really well. I had always wanted to explore the universe. This life takes place on a ship that is exploring the universe. We're heading toward Saturn and will be there in 4 1/2 months, and we'll eventually explore a whole lot of space.
Most of what I do with hoops, and some of what I do with the piano takes place in a holo chamber. So I don't actually live in Dayton, Ohio, but I spend as much time there (via the holo) as I need to, and travel with the team and to recruit and sometimes scout. A lot takes place on the ship itself. I live with my partner, Lacy, and that's still new. It's going great, thanks!
So that about catches us up.
6/5: We have room for a transfer. Looking at PGs.
6/16: We get a PG from Prairie View. Looks like he'll help us.
After a couple of poor finishes in the "Space Series of Poker" I'm doing great this month.
6/17: At the end of the day I'm at the final table and in 2nd place among 10 finalists. This is all about the glory. There's no actual money involved.
6/18: I finished 2nd. We both had about the same amount of money and yet again, I went all in on three of a kind and lost to a straight. That's the way the book says to play it. I guess I'm not good at reading opponents though, unless they have very obvious "tells." Most don't. One of these months I'm going to win one of these.
As the chief statistician on the ship I track tournament finishes and I'm actually 3rd overall despite a couple of early "outs."
6/25: We're going to the Midwest camp.
6/26: 3 scholarships. Hoping for a PG and 2 bigs.
Lacy and I are really doing well. Believe me when I say that living quarters for two are SMALL! We somehow manage to each have our own space, tiny, but our own, and we're both careful about respecting each other's need for space. We're both kind of introverted so we're careful not to be too demanding or clingy. At the same time we do a lot together and we really enjoy that. At least I do and it certainly seems like Lacy does.
In my Dayton life I have a condo, live alone.
8/21: We offer to a PG, a PF, and a C, all foreign.
