This article is part of our Coaching Carousel series.
It's an arduous process generating college basketball projections, due both to the sheer volume of teams and an ever-changing player pool. On top of that, the rules seem to change on almost an annual basis. I've been tentatively planning out the RotoWire preseason projections since May, but before I can decide WHAT to project, I must first determine WHO to project.
As teams begin to release their 2019-20 rosters, I've finally narrowed down a rough prediction of the rotation for teams in the Power 5 conferences (plus Big East and American). I'll mix in the likes of Gonzaga, Utah State, Davidson, Dayton and VCU as well. These will eventually turn into projections used in the CBB Draft Kit tools, plus set a baseline number for our DFS content.
But, I also want to hear feedback from YOU, the RotoWire readers and subscribers. Did I leave someone out that shouldn't be? Did I miss a transfer along the way? Did I include anyone that left the team? After countless hours, I truly think these rotations will be close, but the best way to make sure is to crowdsource it. Hopefully, in addition to the aforementioned purpose, this will prove useful for anyone in early or dynasty drafts.
Below is a table containing player name, school and position, plus any notes I jotted down to keep in mind when projecting these players over the next month:
| First Name | Last Name | School | Pos. | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Herb | Jones | Alabama | G | |
| Kira | Lewis | Alabama | G |
