Syracuse hiring Alex Kline as GM

Excellent article - gives you a sense of the process without pulling back the entire curtain.

I'm assuming that Kline does analytics from each game and makes roster suggestions based on that, would that be a correct assumption? And as we are all saying that Kiyan should start and JJ should come off the bench, if Alex sees data that supports this, does he tell Autry? I am hoping we are using this to the fullest extent.

I'm a big numbers guy. I think analytics can impact so many things in life. And in sports. But, there are always too many outside influences that come into play. That's why 99% of gamblers, or whatever the number is, don't win in the long term. Otherwise people could win all the time.

I'm sure that Alex is taken very seriously. There is a lot at stake.
