Other than Belmont being way too high, I think this looks pretty accurate. Notably, they're down on SIU's offense (ignore Loyola in here):
@salukiworld Interesting that they rate two walkons as better players than two of our more highly praised recruits.

I honestly have no idea how they project Freshmen or players that haven't played D1 basketball before. It's probably why I don't read too much into preseason rankings like this and KenPom, but it's fun to look at.

The KenPom ratings seemed fine for the most part. This one seems way off for the reasons above. Chris cross over Foster Wonders? Belmont over basically the entire conference? This one seems out there to me…
I dont know why anyone takes EvanMiya seriously.
The projections and player ratings are all hilariously bad. The equivalent of those weird MLB trade idea websites.
They are trash.
