This is based on Barttovik.com 2023 predictions.
A few caveats: 1) Rosters are not complete or completely accurate. For example, he assumes Johnson and Kountz aren’t coming back for NCU. 2) Incoming freshmen are not included in the calculations. 3) It’s just for fun to try to spice up this part of the boring off-season, don’t take it too seriously.

I think his formulas place too much emphasis on a player’s last season. For example, I don’t think Owens is a player that is barely a positive contributor but based on his last year’s stats I can see why the formula lists him that way. Gianni Hunt (1.5) at Sac St via OSU and Keith Dinwiddie (1.0) at Weber via San Diego St are just a couple of Big Sky newcomers that I feel will outplay their predictions that were largely based on their last year’s contributions.
