The change between the DSFL and ISFL was an intense one for Craig Brand, as an early trade and rigorous training programs made their impact immediately on his energy levels. Ultimately he rose to the challenge in a stellar rookie season, but is now facing the infamous sophamore slump, and tracking how he deals with this all too common conundrum will be one of the more compelling storylines in his early career. It's not too late to salvage some decent performances at least, but it's undeniably a weaker season than his initial stellar effort as a rookie transitioning to the ISFL level. Other than that he's adapted well to the ISFL level as well as learning to fit in to a more professional scheme where expectations are undeniably higher than at either the collegiate or the DSFL level, where individual mistakes are far more to be expected. Still, the sophomore slump looms long and hard for Brand currently.
