Against #41 VCUWell I do like that there is only 1 team from the Big 10 in the entire top 22.
I expect us to be rated this way however, I believe we have some intriguing players who could surprise under Holloway.
It will be interesting playing in Charleston
Our entire roster is unproven. This rating doesn’t surprise me at all.Clueless .
I think you may be confusing kenpom with Jerry Palm. Two different poms/palms. Kenpom is propped up by everyone as the gold standard of college hoops analytics/rankings. Jerry Palm is CBS’s sub-mediocre bracketology guy.It's amazing that CBS, which is inextricably linked to the NCAA Tournament, is the only major outlet that really props up this clown. Almost anyone they could use would be better.
Yup, you're absolutely right. Hey, it's the preseason for fans, too! I'll be game-ready next month!I think you may be confusing kenpom with Jerry Palm. Two different poms/palms.

Until our roster has players who are highly rated coming into the program either as an incoming freshman or as a portal transfer we’re not going to be ranked highly in the preseason.His analytics are nearly impossible to gauge in the preseason in this environment of Free Agency and roster turnover. There was much more reliability in the past when the turnover was less and the continuity higher.
I think the number is reasonable for Seton Hall if you take into account all the past data of individual players. But roles will change, dynamics change, teams are different, coaching, etc. and that’s going to make it fun to watch. We’re not going to be seen a preseason star team by human or computer.
It's amazing how quickly the "shine" can come off for the pundits who do this stuff for a living, because many of our guys were highly-rated just a year ago. But that's how this stuff works.Until our roster has players who are highly rated coming into the program either as an incoming freshman or as a portal transfer we’re not going to be ranked highly in the preseason.
This is exactly how I feel. On paper I think this is about a 7-13 BigEast team, but due to the Sha factor I would bump them up to 8-10.Has us 10th out of 11 in the Big East. 13-16 overall, 7-13 in BE. On paper, looking at the rosters, those aren't far-fetched predictions. But the Sha factor will bump us up some.
I’m not a mathematician, but I believe that’s impossible, because certain values have to be assigned due to the multiples involved in the formula.The problem with preseason KenPom is it assigns a number to something that is metrics based. We’ve seen it takes a lot to move numbers through the year.
Everyone should start 0.000. Arbitrarily assigning a metrics rank with no metrics is stupid.
