Marquette Debuts in Top 25 With Chartouny Signing

Joseph Chartouny's signing with Marquette increases the team's projected Value Add for the 2018-19 season to the 23rd best in the country.

(For the record, I ranked MU 72nd going into last year http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2017/09/st-johns-most-likely-to-replace-mu-to.html, and 48th the year before when I didn't get my preseason rankings up until a couple of games were played http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2016/11/value-add-rankings-projected-ncaa-bids.html)

I have stated I believe the impact is even stronger than my own calculated projections - as Chartouny ranks as the best defensive guard in the country to fit one key spot, and his offense should improve beyond the projection because he will be driving with the benefit of the 3rd best three-point shooting team in the country in Marquette after having no support from the 348th best three-point shooting team in Fordham.

As for the rest of the teams, we did start to add in Crystal Ball projections to fill in some spots on teams rosters - even though they could change - and we caught other updates such as it appearing that Ashton Hagans will reclassify to play for Kentucky this year, Ronnie Harrell leaving Creighton for Denver, and look out for new Memphis coach Penny Hardaway stealing commitments away from other schools to Memphis.

Below are the newest updates on players reflected in Google Sheet, and not yet updated at www.valueaddbasketball.com.
