I mean it’s all going to hinge on whether the 40th, 50th, and 75th recruits in the nation can play.

I’m not sure Zed Key and Justice Sueing can drag a team to the tournament

If not Harvard would have been UM.

Bronny to OSU confirmed

But actually, yes

Osu basketball has forever longed for Lebron to show them any amount of love. And now they’re kicking a commit to the curb for 1 year of Bronny and potential future James family donations

Hey, I’m fine with this considering OSU never actually got the real James. Freshman Lebron would have gotten them an NC.

So a basketball player whose name is actually “George Washington” decommits from The Ohio State University and all we can come up with is Labron James and Son comments? People.

Bryce James looks to be the real prize of the LBJ family. He’s already 6’7" at 15 and still growing.

Torvik is starting to input schedules. We had an idea of which teams had tougher conference schedules, but here’s his model’s take.

Toughest

  1. Northwestern
  2. Minnesota
  3. Penn St
  4. Ohio St
  5. Indiana
  6. Nebraska
  7. Michigan St
  8. Iowa
  9. Wisconsin
  10. Rutgers
  11. Purdue
  12. Michigan
  13. Maryland
  14. Illinois
    Easiest

Not often you see the highest ranked team analytically having one of the tougher schedules.

757

All else being equal the best team will have easier schedules because you can’t play yourselves

True, but Indiana seems like an exception this year like I said. Was curious after I saw a Torvik tweet what his data thought (shrugs).

759

Does his model account for the fact that Michigan has to go through their schedule with objectively the worst coach in the country?
