So WAR is the important stat. Just last 2 out of 3 years just hasn't been his old self. No one more than me here wants to see his best!!!His projected WAR is between 4.2 and 5. That's all I care about really. I'll be updating the projections later in the season, still unsure exactly when.
Baseball is random AF. Small plays, trust the math, keep plugging away.
Thanks Arch! I was looking like something didn't seem right lol! Could be old age or TRUMP syndrome or possibly a combo effect?
Matty, serious question! I know CBB changes players year-to-year .... but any idea with all my FREE time now .... chance I could do some sort of model? If so, where could I go for 101 basics ... possibly could help Shortstop also.
Yes Arch was right, might research teams that had more minutes continuity with players still there from previous season. Like this stat going back say 2-3 years from this site.
Not MrM bringing politics into the Matty Rain baseball thread 💀Matty, serious question! I know CBB changes players year-to-year .... but any idea with all my FREE time now .... chance I could do some sort of model? If so, where could I go for 101 basics ... possibly could help Shortstop also.
OMG .... quick random thought us two being classified as majority of TRUMP backers, "uneducated white males."
This is most relevant to top programs and conferences, though.
it's not unrelvant to smaller schools. I remember capping a small game early this year on another forum and the poster over there posited schools like VMI would have less turnover due to being there for reasons other than hoops. and we found this article
Ah, interesting. Yeah I guess with the transfer portal being this easy they have incentive to jump from one shit program to a nominally less shit program. Brutal 😂it's not unrelvant to smaller schools.

LEXINGTON — The VMI basketball team is starting over.
Again.
In the spring of 2022, VMI lost four starters to the transfer portal.
This past spring, VMI lost all five starters to the portal.
“The game has changed over the last three or four years,” Keydets second-year coach Andrew Wilson said before a recent practice. “Things have changed quickly because of new NCAA rules. They affect us just like they affect every other team in the country.”
Nine of the 13 scholarship players on this year’s roster are freshmen.
“We hit the restart button,”
