Need, competition and confidence are 0 to 100. Need rises with the workload, production and depth that leave after the season and falls with the recruits already mapped to the role. Confidence under 50 means the public roster detail is thin; verify against the next official roster before treating it as an opening. Last cycle: 8 Division I transfers · 14 high-school signees · 8 draft selections.
