I don’t think he’s ever outlined his model in detail probably because that would reveal his “secret sauce”
But as I understand it he built a model, using historic player info, to be able to then predict the probability a prospect succeeds, and to what extent, based how close statistically they resemble players from the past
It’s basically a predictive model based on stats alone
At least I think that’s how it works.
He also watches a lot of hockey clearly but I think his rankings are based entirely on his stat based model
