props sack Dexter Griesck too

Dexter Griesck 11 solid 3 5.5 excellent (10.73)

He has only had three pops with a calculated talent of 5.5. So forgetting the first pop he has had a 5 week and a 6 week pop.
It also says he will be excellent (10.73) which means he must be nearly Very Good now. So if his talent is closer to 5 than 6 he might even be a formidable.

A bit of luck with his age and he could be ok, a gamble but that's the fun of it.
It will only cost him £6000 to see it.

I have an interesting lad in my youth academy, who popped today and is definitely 1 to watch out for. With a bit of luck he'll be a gem:

Eddie Scobie very good 23

So far he's popped in 4 weeks and 3 weeks (this is the best popping possible for a youth starting as good, as they always start as Good+0.0000).

i've done some calculations and he'll be "born" within the following ranges:

Age: between 18 yrs + 4 wks <-> 20 yrs + 4 wks

Junior Level: between Brilliant +3 <-> Unearthly +2


Fingers crossed ;)
