Glad the script I wrote is coming to good use. ChatGPT didn't scaffold it at first because it was about "voting" but I then told it it was for something else and I changed the URL and specific radio buttons after myself 😆

For anyone wondering, I wanted to look at the rankings and see where the players were coming from... just looks like Morez got squeezed out. Some of the players ranked below him who made it play for Prolific Prep or Overtime Elite, which probably did not hurt their cause.

One of the things about kids ranked that high though, is that they typically are only in college for one season. And while they may be extremely good players as frosh, they often don't have a lot of things going for them that older players do (strength/experience/etc). Sensabaugh, Branham, Hood-Schifino, Howard, Bufkin, Houston, Christie, McGowens being some recent examples within our own conference.

That said, sometimes you get an absolute beast. So I'm not saying don't recruit those players, just that their one year in college is sometimes kind of meh.

Who set up the bot?! Lets go!
I just started running the bot that @illinifanclassof17 cooked up lol. I'm gonna keep it running for a couple hours and check back.

Illinois engineering, baby! 🤣
Thank you, Guys! Morez now up 2,222 votes. I’m continuing to vote with my two measly votes every hour it two as well. I hope you have it set up through the end of the voting on Sunday. Keep it going, Illini Nation!
