JCL to Kansas....really? For realz?
I think with the transfer rules being what they are, staffs just have to go into this knowing players are going to leave. You put your most productive players on the court, and if less productive players are unhappy, you lose them.I respectfully disagree. I think his point is playing time for them is going to be hard to come by. Maybe one of them gets significant minutes but with the addition of Plummer and Hutchinson as well as Trent and Damonte being back when exactly are they going to be on the court?
1 = AC
2 = TF
3 = Hutch/Damonte
4 = Grandison/Hawkins/Gueirrer (if he comes) Payne (If Kofi comes back)
5 = Kofi/Payne
Then you got Plummer coming off the bench so where are the minutes for the 2021 class exactly? I think that was his point. If PODZ or any of them don't play much they might look to go to the portal next year.
Thursday afternoon decision is comingWhat is the latest on Guerrier? Announcement date still set for this week?
I had the same experience with University of MiamiMe: "Mom, Dad! Check it out: Pepperdine!"
My parents, after looking at the picture of the campus in Malibu: "No."
True story.
Yes...saw that. Crazy!JCL to Kansas....really? For realz?
I heard he didn't want to, but there aren't many places he hasn't already played.Yes...saw that. Crazy!
BIG needs to step their game/recruiting up!

One year is a pretty small sample size. Show me the data over multiple years. I also think you have to account for outliers like Kentucky and Kansas and Duke in a conference, because they don't reflect the conference as a whole. It would be a far more useful exercise to compare median NBA draft picks per team rather than total per conference.
It looks to me like they are using numbers from the 2020 draft to try to explain the B1G struggles in the 2021 tourney. I agree with sacraig that the sample sizes utilized are very small and the connection between tournament results and the previous draft is tenuous at best.The part I think is odd is the assumption that the big 10 struggles in the tourney. I don't think that is true despite few championships.
That is so odd to meJCL to Kansas....really? For realz?
Well said. Tangentially, I recall the anecdote (from stats class long ago) about how the University of Virginia College of Communications marketed in the mid-'80s to prospective students that the department boasted an outrageously high average starting salary for graduates.One year is a pretty small sample size.

The conclusion may end up being the same, but at least it would be a valid conclusion.
But then again, I don't expect much in the way of critical thinking out of a bunch of SEC shills.
When is the last time the PAC won the title? ..... I'll give a hint it's longer than the BiGBIG needs to step their game/recruiting up!
It is shilling, but there are 42 former Big Ten players in the NBA, compared to 74 SEC players.It looks to me like they are using numbers from the 2020 draft to try to explain the B1G struggles in the 2021 tourney.

Seems like little more than shilling for the SEC.

Don't let Bill Walton hear you knocking the Conference of Champions. He's still under the impression that they win every year.When is the last time the PAC won the title? ..... I'll give a hint it's longer than the BiG
Quite the expensive lesson for those kids to learn about mediansWell said.

Turned out that Ralph Sampson was a member of the class from which that stat was derived
PAC 12 has 69 former players in the NBA. ACC has 85. Even Big 12 has 45. It's fair to say that former Big Ten players aren't over-represented in the NBA.Right. This is a more useful stat, though I'd still argue that there needs to be an effort to control for the outsize weight of the blue bloods. They are outliers and don't represent overall conference strength. The lack of one in the B1G skews these results (though I imagine the conclusion probably ends up more or less the same, just to a lesser degree).
I had some time to kill so I added each school's draft picks from 2014 to 2020 (IIRC 2014 was last major conference realignment)One year is a pretty small sample size.

The median schools in each conference.What are the schools in parentheses?
Makes sense to make. Full circle, ending his college career under Coach Self, after starting it with Coach Self at Illinois 18 years ago /sJCL to Kansas....really? For realz?
Pretty sad that UofI is a goose egg. Should change this yearThe median schools in each conference.
Example: Iowa, Ohio State, and Wisconsin each had 2 draft picks from 2014-2020.
