Basketball Recruiting Predictions & Statistics
Posted Nov 13, 2013
Can statistics help predict basketball recruiting results? Jackson Fambrough thinks so. Fambrough developed a model using economic principles that predicts where college basketball recruits will, or should, go to school. We wanted to learn more about this model, so we posed some questions to Fambrough. "The model predicts UNLV is the favorite to land Rashad Vaughn by 35% if he follows through with his official visit there. Even if he comes to UNC for an official visit, UNLV is still the favorite by close to the same margin."
