you can take kenpom, torvik, etc with a grain of salt because their models take preseason data into account for another couple months and i think that's really tough to do in this portal era but not much about this (https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=North+Dakota&year=2026) screams anything other than it being bad. normally i would say there are some building blocks for the future but obviously any competent player is going to get snapped up in the portal
