College Fantasy Basketball Review: Onroo

To be honest, I had never heard of Onroo.com until last week. At College Fantasy Coach, we aren’t HUGE fans of team-based fantasy games, but we had to give Onroo’s game a shot because its FREE, a price we love for fantasy games more than how the game is structured.

Should you choose to accept the Onroo challenge, registration with the site gets you:

• Real time news and updates from Scout.com
• Access to FREE private and public leagues, plus a community forum
• Custom tools for the league commissioners who want to host their own league
• Universal rankings for comparison against the rest of the Onroo community.

Similar to your college fantasy experts at College Fantasy Coach, the guys behind Onroo run their site and their games because they love college fantasy sports. They started their game in 2001 with a 9-person league created during the ACC tournament. Since 2004, the site has become a full blown college fantasy sports portal with free football and basketball games.

Because their game uses teams instead of individual players, it is very easy to play. Draft seven teams, play six. You can add/drop teams throughout the season and make trades as necessary. The “About” section of their website doesn’t go into much more detail than that, so I’m not really sure what to make of their game. The College Fantasy Coach league I created doesn’t draft until Nov. 19. I’d love to invite you, but the 10-team league is currently full.

Perhaps I should report back with some final thoughts on Onroo after my draft on the 19th? Have fun checking their game out if you want to play a team based college fantasy basketball game in 2008. For more information, visit Onroo.com.
