So I wanted to create a composite ranking of teams using computer ranking systems, as 538 does when creating their NCAA Tournament model. They used Sagarin, Massey, LRMC (Bayesian version), and Sonny Moore last season, but as we stats geeks know, Sagarin ratings are no longer available for...

In viewing today's action, Plebe noted: That got me thinking about which teams truly capitalize on their home court advantage, and which teams make terrible house guests. Looking at the top 50 teams in Massey, I constructed these two lists of each team's home court advantage: The Homebodies...

Believe it or not, they went 4 teams deep (20 players) and didn't pick a single player from the Huskies. Unbelievable. LINK Less controversially, they also picked Muffet McGraw as coach of the year (COY), A'ja Wilson as POY, and Joyner Holmes as FOY. Now that I've placed down the explosive...

Here is the list of 41 (LINK): Notable cuts included Chloe Chapman, Amira Collins, Lexi Gordon, Zarielle Green, Lindsay Jarosinski, Jordan Nixon, Ashley Owusu, and NaLyssa Smith. I would have thought that all of these players would be in the final 41, based on reports I have read.

OK, so Blue Star has updated their class rankings for the Class of 2016. They do not incorporate transfers (in or out) when computing these values but rather just assign values to each recruit based on their rankings and then sum the values of each member of a recruiting class to get a total...

Back when vowelguy was treating us to his composite ratings and calculating his index of recruiting class ratings, there was always spirited debate of how to determine the correct balance between quality and quantity in his (proprietary) formula. Posters complained that large classes of lower...
