Things I look for:
- Seniors and Juniors who started last year returning - GOOD.
- Freshman and Sophomores heavy in starting rotation - BAD. (real big schools can be exceptions if talent is high)
- Bet against lower-middle tier teams who lost players but are still overvalued due to last season record.
- Cocky statements from team/coach a positive for early confidence.
