New recruits added as a result of the Trajan Gamethief trade by @ExponentialsBC:
1.) Odd God*, G, Year 1, 3⭐️
2.) Kris Upgrade, G, Year 2, 3⭐️
3.) Eric Nigma, F, Year 1, 3⭐️
4.) Kurt Ramchips, F/C, Year 1, 3⭐️
5.) Checkbox Jones, F/C, Year 2, 3⭐️
* = Rookie Fest selection.
We wish to congratulate Odd God for his selection this week in the first Swoops Rookie Fest. He is a streaky shooter, but he seems very likely to grow more dangerous from outside as he grows into his game.
"I think he has a real chance to be better than me," Ethan Nigma told us when we asked him about his younger brother, Eric. "He's smart, he's a good listener, and he's not afraid to dive for a loose ball."
Last night's tournament run was clearly more than we could have hoped for. Pistol Petabyte dropped 39 against a Star Goats team that wouldn't stop fouling him. Seeing him and Mo Bridges play well together has been fun. Perhaps he'll stick around for a while after all.
Pistol Petabyte put in his transfer request as soon as he arrived. He said he felt disrespected by his former team and wanted a squad that understood his value.
Then Mo Bridges asked him if they could play together.
Pistol still wants to be a point guard. He thought the Expos putting Daemon Bailey on the market might give him an opportunity he needed to shine in that role. The Expos felt otherwise.
Mo's excitement at his arrival, though, gave him enough impetus to play with our kids here.
We are pleased to announce that Calblock Chainey and Ethan Nigma have signed 10-day contracts with @ExponentialsBC.
This is Ethan's second call-up, and Calblock's first. Both recruits have been exceptional this season, and we hope they make the most of this opportunity.
While MO BRIDGES is unquestionably our top point guard, he does *not* lead the team in assists so far this season.
That honor belongs to CALBLOCK CHAINEY, a 3rd-year forward who is dishing out an impressive 7.4 assists per game. If a "point forward" exists, he might be it.
While it's still early days, it's safe to say ISRO RIDER has wowed us with his shooting touch and his rebounding prowess. There's some question among the faculty, though, as to whether he's a small forward or a power forward. This will require further study.
We had planned to give both MO BRIDGES and LES SHILLING plenty of playing time at point guard this season.
What we did NOT expect was for VAYU to emerge, seemingly from out of nowhere, as a strong, capable floor general, too.
The young ones will surprise you if you let them.
Today is an important day in the @PlaySwoops world - Player Progression Day. Today we find out how much our young recruits have learned this past season, and how much they will grow into themselves in the seasons to come.

Point guard Mo Bridges continues to be the head of the class here at the Square Roots Academy. He recorded the first triple-double of the Swooper Bowl today in a series-clinching win over Northern Butterflies.
We look forward to seeing his progression in his 2nd season.
