Mission

Our mission is to empower the next generation of forward-thinking elite college basketball programs to decisively leverage data science in order to create an efficient process for roster construction and portal management, a sustainable competitive advantage, and a differentiated and compelling strategy for long term success.


Realities

  • Remnants of the past:
    • 4-year players
    • Growing and developing talent 
    • “Traditional” approach to recruiting and coaching
  • Revenue Share/NIL has brought “moneyball” to college basketball. 
  • Data-driven insights become substantial competitive advantage with potentially full roster turnover each year.
  • Access to Revenue Share/NIL money might be the single biggest driver of your success; accordingly, losing access presents the most risk.
  • The availability of data is expanding exponentially.

  • The only way to digest and develop actionable strategies with the volumes of data coming available is AI, or machine learning.


  • Player tracking data, previously limited to the NBA, will be available soon for college basketball.

  • Artificial intelligence enables robust, multi-variable predictive models which can introduce attributes beyond performance data—-critically important intrinsics such as durability and unselfishness.


  • AI informs spend by optimizing for efficiency and volume.
