Evan Miya article on how to build a successful roster in the portal era.


From his data, Evan shows that successful teams (All teams that finished in the top 10 at the end of the season from the past three years) had this breakdown of minutes when comparing returning players, transfers, and freshman:
Returning players: 60.1%
Transfers: 22.7%
Freshman: 17.2%

This is why I believe BYU will prioritize giving Knell, Saunders and Baker minutes over Crawford and Kozlowski.

Here's my minutes breakdown from a while ago with Catchings added (https://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=33178476)

PG
Dallin Hall 26.0
Egor Demin 14.0

SG
Egor Demin 12.0
Dawson Baker 24.0
Trevin Knell 4.0

Wing
Richie Saunders 24.0
Trevin Knell 16.0

PF
Mawot Mag 20.0
Kanon Catchings 20.0

C
Keba Keita 20.0
Fousseyni Traore 20.0

Here are the percentages for this roster:
Returning players: 57%
Transfer minutes: 20%
Freshman Minutes: 23%
