List of players on blog at "cracked sidewalks" apparently a Marquette blog. Interesting to see where they think OU's players stack up.

Iteresting for OSU players as well. If you believe the formula Paige is more important to the team than Olukemi

The first Percent is value added over a generic BSC bench player (if I understand it right) and the second number if it is ther is over a Low D-1 player (maybe not bench I am not for sure). Ther are some problems for sure since some player he included are Freshman such as Guerreo, I would not think you could evenly evaluate him. Plus it has Fitz and Nick as about the same if put on another team and I don't know if I agree with that.
