interesting - what are you ranking the roster on? 24-25 Points/Reb/Assists/Minutes? pro potential?

I'm figuring on overall contribution to the team over the course of the season. Pro potential I'd have Boswell and Rodgers lower, probably.

1. Jacucionis

4: Boswell
5: White
6: Rodgers
7: Johnson
8: Humrichous
9: Booth
10: DGL
11: Davis
12: Jakstys

At this point it is all conjecture as to most valuable players and ones that get most minutes, but I do expect my top four to stay as is.

It's not predicting anything about our coaching staff. We play 3 ridiculously difficult non-conference games. That's 3 predicted losses. And then assuming 12-8 in conference. Torvik is really predicting we finish 20-11.

That's a reasonable prediction for our team, given its lack of experience playing together. We've seen this happen to Kentucky and other talented teams so it's not out of the realm of possibility to struggle a bit, especially on the road in the Big Ten.

And I do not find 20 wins that ridiculous, though probably overestimating the negative impacts of an inexperienced squad vs. the positive impacts of an extremely experienced staff plus very talented roster. However, I find 16 wins to be crazy, and that is the post I quoted. I will forget the number of losses for a second, but we are winning more than 16 regular season games almost guaranteed.

The 16-11 projection is based on the 27 games we currently have scheduled. We will add four more games that are most likely winnable home games, or at least games Torvik would project us to win. That would have us at 20-11 in his projections. He can't project games that aren't scheduled.

They haven't updated him into '24 yet. He dropped nine spots in the '25 class due to performance (this "drop" was before he ever announced reclassification).

You're right. I looked too quickly and thought the second image was the 2024 class.
