I seem to remember Pope said he applied analytics to the portal. Tough question, but what metrics do you think he uses?

Very good question. I've been interested in this as well and would like to know.I seem to remember Pope said he applied analytics to the portal. Tough question, but what metrics do you think he uses?
I can't give specifics... Because I don't know them... But I've taken graduate stats, and dude, the amount of info you can glean from seemingly nothing is astounding. Not only from seemingly nothing, but also seemingly completely unrelated stats.I seem to remember Pope said he applied analytics to the portal. Tough question, but what metrics do you think he uses?
I called coach Pope and asked him. His answer, "The basketball ones."I seem to remember Pope said he applied analytics to the portal. Tough question, but what metrics do you think he uses?

Very, very interesting. Love these kind of posts.See a thread I started for my opinion:
Transfer Portal BIG BOARD - Player Ratings Thread
I've spent a lot of time looking at various analytics on the portal players. The Player Efficiency Rating (at College Basketball Reference) seems to be a high indicator of a player's overall success. There are no players that I have come across that were not good players who had a high PER. I put together a spreadsheet of over 200 players, including from the Final Four teams and Kentucky teams this year, plus many of the transfer players (not all of course), and the average PER is around 17.3. So, I would put the average college basketball player at a PER of around 17.3. That may be a little high, considering I have opted not to include all of the portal players, especially those with a low PER.
One thing that I like about the transfer portal is that you are dealing with basketball players who have played in college, and not high schoolers whose competition level has huge factors on their ratings. The portal gives us a lot more accurate indication of what a player will do based on what they have done. Most players with high PERs continue that trend through their career.
I would say PERs between 14-20 are average, 21-25 are above average (Reed Sheppard, Antonio Reeves), and 26-30 are great) and 30+ are phenomenal (Zach Edey was 39.3 this year; Oscar Tshiebwe was 35.0 in 2022).
The only thing I don't know how to factor for is PER when transferring from Mid-Major or lower programs to Power Conferences. Generally, there's a dip, but not always.
