Last season's rating (No. 230 at the end of 2025-26) adds -0.8, about its neighbours' -0.8; the program's level two and three seasons back and the roster's experience and shape add +0.4. It returns 84% of last season's minutes, more than teams ranked near it (68%). The projection leans most on Eli Beard (+0.9), Dillon Tingler (+0.5) and Kevon Vanderhorst (-0.1); the newcomer who matters most is Moses Hipps, a newcomer from outside Division I, at -0.3. Its 80% range, -11.3 to +3.4, is about as wide as that of teams ranked near it.

A player's rating is points per 100 possessions better than an average Division I player while he is on the floor. Contribution weights it by the share of a rotation slot he is projected to play, so a star on the bench and a role player who never sits both read right. Rank is among all 5,249 rated players. MPG is the projected share of a rotation slot times 40. "From" is last season's team. The bars are contribution, the player's rating times his projected share; their sum is the roll-up the projection starts from.
