A few years ago, we gathered every ACC player from 1954-present in our database, and one of the great new features we were able to add was our stat projections. The idea behind the system is that we can compare any given player to the 2000 or so historical ACC players and find the closest matches. Then we can take an average of how their comps performed in the same respective season and get a good projection of how the player will progress. We'll be the first to admit that the system is not perfect, but it does do a pretty good job of setting a minimal expectation for what to expect from a player.
One reminder, since the data is dependent on prior performance, no incoming freshmen have projections, only returning players. So stick to the recruiting gurus for the scoop on the freshmen.
Without further ado, the following links will show you the projections for each of the respective teams...
| Boston College | Clemson | Duke |
| FSU | Georgia Tech | Louisville |
| Miami | UNC | NC State |
| Notre Dame | Pittsburgh | Syracuse |
| Virginia | Virginia Tech | Wake Forest |
