This is a real report. The names just aren’t.

Everything on these pages — every grade, every ranking, every projection — is actual certified data from a real Division I program’s incoming transfer class. We’ve retracted the player names, schools, and conferences to protect that team’s identity and their competitive edge. What you’re looking at is the engine, not their roster.

The headline finding from this sample: the player everyone was planning the offense around graded third on his own incoming class. The possessions, not the press release, told that story — and that’s the kind of edge a staff gets before the first practice instead of discovering it in January.

Take ten minutes with the pages that follow. Then ask yourself one question: do you know this much about the players you just brought in?

— The Possession Report, powered by PBiR

Here's the truth of the class you built, every possession graded. Ten new players, ten prior programs, three hundred fourteen certified games — all of them measured by one engine, one yardstick, so for the first time this class can actually be compared.

The headline finding: your crown jewel is Player A. The his prior school freshman put up a season the engine almost never sees — thirty-three a night of certified impact, led his team twenty times, and not one negative game all year. And the steal is — twenty-two a night, led his prior school thirteen times, and he never graded negative either. Two floor-never-cracks seasons in one portal haul.

Player D — the name everybody knows — certifies as a real weapon, honestly priced: fourteen a night of impact, not twenty. Player C's minutes were limited but his rate was second-best in the class — the center answer may already be in the building. Player G swings, Player E steadies, Player F insures, and the thin samples are told as thin samples, because that's the product.

The bottom line: the press conference sold a backcourt. The possessions bought a frontcourt. Sixty-nine percent of this class's certified impact lives up front — and knowing that in June, before the first practice, is the whole reason this report exists.
