One platitude that people have continually been tossing out when it comes to the work Mike Boynton has done with this year’s Oklahoma State team is that he’s doing more with less. He’s accomplishing a lot with little at his disposal from a roster standpoint.
I understand why people say it, but I don’t like that there’s not a great way to measure it. Even if there was (and there is, see below), I hate that people will just toss this to and fro without actually doing the homework.
So I did.
There is obviously no perfect way to measure the talent of rosters, but one halfway decent method is to look at how players were rated coming out of high school.
