Over the last four seasons, here are the average KenPom ratings: Team ORtg DRtg Minnesota 108.4 103.1 Colorado State 113.9 100.2 These are points scored/allowed per 100 possessions adjusted for quality of opponent. So the difficulty of the B1G is baked into the metrics. Medved...

Would appear to be more of a body than anything else, which is understandable in June. But kudos to him for going from JUCO to mid-major, to high major. Likely a hard working player.

Maybe I missed it, but hadn't seen this before.

I posted this in the roster construction thread: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/niko%E2%80%99s-roster-construction.118089/post-3123206 Niko historically has not played very big lineups. While we generally expect that he will need to play bigger lineups in the B1G, I don't know that he...

Not disagreeing with your personal experience, but professional athletes pay taxes in nearly every state in which they perform. Link here.

RE: Taxes --- If NIL agreements are performed in various states, do the athletes pay taxes in all states in which they perform?

Ah - bad website design got me. Thx

I'm not in here trying to be a wet blanket; I definitely see the potential. I just think people are underestimating the jump in competition from the ASUN to the B1G. I found nine players that transferred out of the ASUN in the previous two years. This is per Rivals -- if I've missed anyone I...

Definitely looks like we will be playing big wings, which will increase the overall size. I'm not as sold as others that Turner is an immediate B1G rotation player, but that is clearly the current plan.

Morris???

Yeah, your process was more precise than mine. I took average minutes played per Sports Reference for the players in my height criteria, then divided those totals by 200. This understates the total minutes for the season because it does not include any OT minutes. Since rotation players account...
