Last season's rating (No. 188 at the end of 2025-26) adds -0.3, less than its neighbours' +0.5; the program's level two and three seasons back and the roster's experience and shape add -1.0. It returns 42% of last season's minutes, less than teams ranked near it (64%). The projection leans most on Zion Sensley (+2.9), Aaron McBride (+1.1) and All Wright (+0.4); the newcomer who matters most is Zion Sensley, a transfer from UC Santa Barbara, at +2.9. Its 80% range, -7.6 to +7.2, 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.
