Article about college teams outsourcing analytics instead of hiring within. Your wheelhouse.
I like the Athletic for the first part of CBB season but we have a network here that knows probly more about the Hoos so no necessary. Also has some decent one off articles
Itās an interesting question because you probably want to leverage all of the infrastructure a big analytics firm would have. Not to mention that they have a horizontal view of the landscape looking across teams. However, as alluded to above, there may be some specifics analytics that require knowledge of the program and its schemes. You almost want a small 1-2 person group in house coordinating with an outsourced team?
I think even knowledgable managers could be that liason with the outsourced team. A guy like Grant Kersey that knows TB and staff etc would easily work. Plus these kids are so fing tech savvy now, its like second nature
@hoopsandhoos does that that Shot Quality stuff. I think I read that programs are using those insights a bit more.
Agreed just need someone who is a āproduct guyā on the inside.
Kids still cool with hyping up the Jordan brand? Man, kids are more gullible than I thought. This would be like when I was a kid, and someone was like, āHey - Wes Unseld wore these things and now endorses them. Remember Wes Unseld?ā Me: āNah, not really.ā
Could you imagine Jordan playing in the era after Pitino discovered that 3 was more than 2? Heād be like Demar Derozan or something.
This analogy would make sense if Unseld had a billion dollar business lol they arenāt wearing it to remember Michael Jordan. They are wearing it because itās what all their favorites now wear.
ā¦ the intent of it were to make sense and not be a dumb joke (sorry if not obvious).
I didnāt think you were serious lol just thought your jokes are usually more funny
Gotta work through the bad ones to get to the good ones.
Iāve been rocking my George Gervinās and bumping Chubby Checkers on the phonogram like thereās no tomorrow. Whatcha know about that?
Looks just like Crotty
Breakin ankles
(trying not to annoy anyone who hates RS discussions, so I will put this here)
My issue with it is ā and not that I necessarily need to hear this in a presser ā is that I donāt hear the other side. Heās bringing up the PT and the obvious issue that itās hard to find time for 12-13 guys. Yup, of course. But it still leaves open the obvious follow-up question: okay, so why is 0 MPG a better option than ~5 MPG during a few of the cupcakes? And the only answer that I think makes sense is if you see a tradeoff in that 5th year. And, w/r/t the 5th year, my view is that none of us are particularly good at predicting the future and 5 years is a long way away.
I actually think PT is sort of a bad reason for giving the RS; I think necessary physical or hoops development to be able to play oneās position in college is a good reason, but I donāt see that case for anyone on our team. Everyone on this team, from what I can see, seems to be ready to make contributions at the ACC level.
Also, probably an obvious implication, but I think we should be very careful about RSing anyone who has NBA early entry upside. Especially since that obviates most of the benefit of the RS.
Bond and Dunn both have NBA early entry upside. Note: upside, not āthey will be drafted early.ā Thereās a significant chance one or both wonāt even become good ACC players (thatās the downside).
I thought everyone has NBA early entry possibility at this point
How about - we shouldnāt redshirt US-bred recruits with the measurables that NBA teams are currently looking for in the first round of the draft.
That one is fair. I disagree that Bond is gonna be a sub 4 year NBA possibility but thats proly cause I am selfish and want him for 5This text will be blurred years
Edit: the fuk did I so there
I really wanted the blurred part to be 5 fucking years.
