Thanks for posting this pretty cool
When I refreshed the link we moved up to #Six

The next question is will we add two more where will we stand?
Go Dukes

Yes thought the same when I posted on Freeman's site that we may leap frog a couple with our next signing. Either way, the Dukes are in the best of places right now.

You are correct. I should have explained that
 

I would like to understand more about this graphic, not to pour cold water on this but I don’t take too much away from it.

For the “lost” column it is clearly only counting players going into the portal. We obviously lost a ton in the form of Grant, Clark, and the rest of the graduates, but for the sake of this graphic we are only credited as having lost Nicholls, who had few minutes and this inflates our overall rank as we essentially lost no one. We all know this is not the case.

Can’t say I grasp what “OVR” and “MIN%” mean. I was thinking the one was minutes percentage, but how can that be in the hundreds? And is OVR some type of rank of the “MIN%” values amongst others on the list?

I don’t really know or understand how much any of this means.

After doing a little research, here are a few thoughts on this ranking/data.  These "Transfer Portal Rankins" were pulled together by @SBUnfurled - a St. Bonaventure and A10 fan. SBUnfurled: Who runs the account? – The Bona Venture (thebvnewspaper.com)

From what I have gathered, his methodology is fairly simple.  Using a combination of various basketball analytics sites and some sort of formula (see chart linked below), he has assigned a point value to every player (OVR) in D-1.  5.0 is the OVR value for an "average" player.  Regarding MIN%, this is simply a player percentage of his team's total minutes (for example, the Dukes played 37 games with no overtime games, so the most number of minutes that a player could have played would have been 1,480 minutes - 40 minutes a game - Jimmy and Dae Dae played in about 75% of the available minutes).

For each transfer coming into a team, he added up the player(s) OVR and MIN%; for each transfer leaving a team, he subtracted the player(s) OVR and MIN%.  These calculations resulted in the net team score.

The Dukes scored high since they currently have 4 good players transferring in and only 1 player (Nicholls) with a low OVR transferring out (Barba didn't qualify for an OVR or minutes).

FYI

Despite the question on how this rating goes
We are now #2

They have us with 0 commits.

There is a lot of activity among power conference teams trading 3 and 4 star rated recruits. We are not in that world, hence no commits listed. But in the real world for us--Mid Majors, Atlantic 10-- we have done quite well.
