2. . I have the privilege to be included in the S36 draft class which is one of the largest classes in the history of the league. What I think makes this class truly special though is how active everyone has been in these last 3 weeks and the excitement that permeates all of our conversations. Every S36 rookie I have spoken with has maintained activity while also actively participating in the community which then fosters more activity by other rookies, and so on. Here are just a few examples of what this class has already produced.
@PurpleReign is leading the pack on pure media posts with a couple of articles and 2(!) podcasts under their belt. I don’t believe anyone tops them in pure activity and I see them being a max earner for the far future. If they leverage that into TPE then you could be seeing the birth of a star in the league.
@Repgnar has been a powerful presence in every rookie locker room and has shown that he can make quick friends in this community. Boasting some great media early, they could easily become a max earner and convert that to Sim success. Be on the lookout for them in the upcomingDSFL and then ISFL draft.
@soevil has shown they can do the leg work to make it in the league, being bold enough to post a DSFL mock draft before their first season. This shows they can research their fellow players to gain an edge but also will be a valuable asset to any GM in their War Room.
@Jaywe88 You cannot mention them without mentioning The Dobbler which is taking the S36 class by storm. Seriously check out their posts to get up to speed so you don’t miss this new trend.
@Liter has been asking great questions whenever they are in the chat which helped my own understanding of the league and has put mentors to the test. A desire to understand the league is crucial to staying with it and can see them being an asset to the classes that come after us.
@Pizza-faith is already a graphics all-star and has made numerous signatures for rookies even when we were on waivers. My signature is one of his creations and I love every piece they have put out. I expect a call from the graphics department in the future!
These are the rookies I have interacted with the most in my short time but the list of impactful rookies just continues from here.
With all of this said, I can say with great confidence that the league is seeing its future right now. With such a large class size we can obviously expect some drop-off within a few seasons but I also see many future lifers in the mix. Between outstanding graphics being posted, insightful and funny media posts, and an incredibly active Discord presence, this rookie class will be remembered for the remainder of the league’s history.
The biggest hope I have for this class is that we can usher in future classes as well and maintain the welcoming culture we have experienced so far.
As to where we are all going to be drafted? I believe that the six listed above, and @Raven with his re-create may constitute the full first round next Saturday. While I do not know the individual needs of each team, and drafts are not my strong suit, the activity from each of those listed and myself should be enough to get us drafted early not only for the DSFL but the ISFL as well. The only downside to having such an amazing class is that I cannot be on the same team as all of them!
