This helps to reflect that we as Iowa State fans have kind of been in a bubble as far as losing production from year-to-year in this new era. Even in an offseason where Iowa State loses its top 3 scorers, we are still returning a far more significant part of our roster than most other teams.
Would be hard to account for recruiting advantages some schools may have, and fairly ranking strength of schedules of each school, but would be interesting to know how much returning production translates to win percentage
