Chick McGee, where are you?

Why yes, apples. How did you know? [flickr-photo:id=4347154616] Pusher and member of the Gutter Sistren

 I remember Quentin saying, at the begining of "The Rookie", that he was upset he didn't get picked up by a tier one team. so I think you can be drafted from tier 3 to either of the upper tiers.

Molly McButters is my Homeboy!

Remember, Gredok had to intimidate Steadmar so that he wouldn't sell Quentin to the owner of the To Pirates. Fairly sure that whole scene was Chapter 1, but it might have been in Chapter 2.

My question would be if you can come into the league any other way besides Tier 3. Can you walk on and tryout for a Tier 2 team?

A life vacant of laughter is not worth exerting the effort it takes to live it.

Unlike American football today, where the combines take place before the draft, the combine in The Rookie took place after the teams have alrady selected their players. Also the lower tiers don't necessarily serve as a farm league, since wased up players can be pushed back to lower tiers.  There also wasn't a mention of college/university recruiting either. Maybe this will be answered in The Starter!

There is a comment in The Rookie Where it is mentioend that Earth College football is sometimes considered "tier 4" But that's cause the players there aren't good enough to make it onto a tier 3 team.  That means they need all that fancy book-learnin!

I was lucky enough to get to do a 1-1 chat with Sigler a few months ago and that was one of the questions I asked.  Here is the link to the site:  http://www.humanety.com/videos/scott-sigler.html  

He answers the GFL draft question at about 6:30.

ENJOY!!!

You rock on with your bad self, finaldrive!!

This was an outstanding interview, not to mention an outstanding junkie collaborative effort to make it happen (for charity too).  I listened to this with anticipation when you first posted it and now I am going to listen to it again, because I totally missed the answer to this question!

Thanks for the insight!
