Why we have them here

IU Indianapolis's preseason projection of -5.4 (No. 279 of 365) starts from the roster: its players' ratings, weighted by projected minutes, add up to a roll-up worth -2.1, more than the -3.1 typical of teams ranked near it. Last season's rating (No. 313 at the end of 2025-26) adds -1.6, about its neighbours' -1.0; the program's level two and three seasons back and the roster's experience and shape add -2.1. It returns 77% of last season's minutes, about the same as teams ranked near it (69%). The projection leans most on Gus Etchison (+1.3), Pat Curtin (+0.9) and Finley Woodward (+0.1); the newcomer who matters most is Gus Etchison, a transfer from Idaho State, at +1.3. Its 80% range, -12.8 to +1.9, 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.
