For 2027, SMU's clearest openings are at middle blocker (need 65) and outside hitter (need 43). Scores come from departing workload, returning competition and known commits. Research confidence: medium.
Three scores for every position. Roster need is how much of the role is leaving, minus recruits who fill it.Competition level is how strong the returning players are. Research confidence is how much evidence backs the numbers. Low confidence lowers rankings; it is never hidden. How we score.
