Is it bad to get the first pick and immediately regret taking the player you took? Asking for a friend.

He was #1 on my board.

I like him more in the stacked region actually. Cause he is gonna bring it in those close games. Just gotta win haha.

You guys complete me. <3

I had another player ready to go and at the last second changed it to Mason because I think he can have a really high average. Kansas worries me this year, but then again, I haven't watched any non-Ohio State basketball games so I know nothing, lol.

Not involved but am interested...would it be less painful if everyone listed about their top 10 players for RD 1, and then list about 6 guys for each of the next 11 rounds. If everyone did that and submitted them to whoever is running this....they could sift through and pick everyone's team. If player is picked scratch them off everyone's list....go to next available for every person. Might take 2-3 hours for whoever is in charge but feasible IMO

Not sure where LHS is, but we have to consider just going without him this year.

Since Wildcats is gone anyway so I say give him until tomorrow AM and then we move on. I'll be up at 7 but gonna PM cats my pick(s) too in case he is on earlier and just wants to post mine with his.

I liked the rule from a couple years ago. Three hour limit between the hours of 8am-Midnight

We could always skip him and let him pick at the end of the first if he wants in

I'll say we skip him indefinitely, if he comes back and wants to join, he can make all his picks then.

We would've just flip flopped haha.

That bracket is tough with U.K./UCLA/UNC. I usually like my first 2 rounds to be guys I'm confident for 4 games and semi confident for 5. Can't say that with any of them from that region because of the depth.
