Rhea Seehorn walked onto my flight out of LAX one day and I got to fan boy and basically told her the same! BCS>BB
Kim Wexler is hot.
I invited her up to the flight deck and she came up and chatted with me for 5-10 minutes!
Fun BCS talk and got the Pluribus scoop.
She’s a gem.

He's a better shot blocker than Mara but has skills. Tough loss for Cincinnati but I assume it was all about NIL. Morez's spot looks to taken by 5* freshman Quinn Costello, a Burger Boy and top 20 recruit. Costello is skilled and 6'10'. If they get the forward from Wake Forest they might be even better next year. Just a hunch though I think the Wake Forest forward signs with North Carolina.

My God they're going to be loaded. Didn't realize they were bringing in so much H.S. talent. Have to be the favorites in the Big Ten with us next.

Love the tracker. Above is look at the BPM column of the Roster Tracker by tiers as things stand as of now. (Chose to focus on the BPM since it incorporates offensive and defensive efficiency as well as strength of schedule; WS is interesting history but less useful as a predictive metric since it isn't strength of schedule adjusted, and with all the transfers between the different D1 levels, a player on a good team in a bottom feeder conference with an easy schedule can accumulate more WS simply because the team won more games.)

Just one metric regarding the level of experienced talent on the rosters (and a work in progress, as Michigan and others likely have some significant moves yet to make), but gotta love where the Illini sit as of now. Also does not measure contributions from freshmen, so also tiered the RSCI data in the tracker to see how the incoming freshman talent breaks down.

Ohio State has quietly put together some experienced talent via the Portal; interested to see if Diebler can make the pieces fit. Probably the biggest surprise to me from this exercise,

Nice! Thats a really cool adapted view.

I should note though that team BPM is kind of messed up on my sheet though. It’s giving equal weight to each players WS & BPM (I should fix and weight by minutes to get an aggregate value per team, but haven’t got around to it just yet)
