16 AdjO; 10 AdjD

is that a projection, or where we finished last year?

It's preseason.

Far from perfect, but (I think) based on returning guys, recruiting rankings, and historical data of coaches/programs.

Last season we finished 6 AdjO and 17 AdjD. That was based on full season, though. I would estimate in the last couple of months we were top 10 in both AdjO and AdjD.

gotcha, thanks

i’m quite happy with that as a starting place

Definitely in the "need more data" stage, but it's not far off of what we thought.

Carolina is interesting, though. With all of the players they return, they are AdjO 8, AdjD 13, and overall right behind KU at 9. Stats be damned, I think UNC is a better team than KU.

Youre happy with us being behind Scott drew? Other posters will be triggered

KenPom hasn't factored in Drew's massive suckage into his numbers yet. Stay patient young padawan

Kenpom AdjO dropped from 14 to 17 and AdjD jumped from 10 to 6 after last night. Overall we went from 10 to 8.

I think we could agree that that all makes sense.

My prediction for end of season is something like 23 AdjO and 3 AdjD.

i’m cool with #3 AdjD

The measurable parts of KU will be less than the sum of the whole this year. UNC struggle at home last night with Charlotte's Webb (channeling Gutter).

Carolina is currently 11 AdjO and 33 AdjD, 17 overall. They're better than that, but their regular season last year was not great and there just aren't enough data on Hubert Davis.

Hubert Davis's biggest problem is he has no Kansas in him.

I think that’s a bit low but I don’t think we are a top 10 team.

I think we are a top 10 team.

And Tennessee isn't a top 5 team. They lost to Colorado already.

that game was Tennessee's super bowl.

I'd be pleased to see them again.

I’m a broken record but AdjO 37 won’t cut it. The team is a course or two shy of a feast. Beatable team that is dangerous when Gradey gets hot.
