Minaya with his first ranking. I for one expect Braden Smith to crash back down to reality without Edey.

UConn's players from EvanMiya pre-season rating. Mostly derived from pedigree and previous performance. Understandably Ball and Stewart will be underrated in this.

Same sponsor?

i'd like to see a kenpom/time progression of the past couple of seasons. the idea is that these teams get better the more they run the system. my impression is that the aggregate scores tend to underrate these teams and their true ratings are even higher. the tourney margin of victory is pretty real.

If Hassan Diarra is the 61st best player in the country at the end of the year, we are winning the title again.

He finished last season 43rd.

But telling we lost slightly more ground with the Clingan injury than in Jan 2023. The schedule was a big factor in 2023.

I just cant believe that it feels like we won the title last week and the season is just a few weeks away. Where did summer go?

His system actually had him as the 43rd best player in the country last year.

His system definitely has some "great team rubs off on a lot of guys" going on, but Diarra was a lot higher than Samson despite playing a lot of minutes. He impacts winning. But he's essentially switching positions this year (he played more minutes off ball last year than at PG), so we'll see how that goes.
