Today, we’re graduating Dropback for Basketball out of beta—the next step in our mission to bring pro-grade decision infrastructure to every college sport.

‍

Football may have been our starting point, but the challenges we’ve been solving there are universal:

• GMs are being asked to make faster, sharper, and more defensible decisions about their rosters.
• College programs now operate in an environment that looks more and more like the Pros—constant roster movements with annual expectations to construct championship-caliber teams

‍

Teams that thrive in this new era will be the ones who bring pro-level structure to the way they evaluate players and manage their rosters. Basketball is no different.

‍

And Dropback is here to help.

‍

Why We Built Dropback for Basketball

‍

Basketball is the most analytics-heavy sport in college athletics. And from our dozens of GM conversations, thousands of data points may exist for on-the-court analysis—but translating that data to off-the-court decisions (roster construction, contract valuations, etc) is near-impossible.

‍

Dropback for Basketball helps elite men's and women's basketball GMs to translate on-the-court analytics to off-the-court roster decisions.

‍

We’ve taken the same technical foundation that powers our football product—modern data pipelines, no-code modeling infrastructure, and real-time collaborative workflows—and built a basketball-specific experience that allows staffs to evaluate talent, shape roster strategy, and manage the cap within one, private, pro-grade infrastructure.

‍

Elite Infrastructure for Elite General Managers

‍

Programs can finally work from a modern, unified front-office workspace that’s purpose-built for the Rev-Share Era—bringing together the data they already trust with the tools they now need.

‍

Here’s a glimpse:

‍

‍

• Powerful, pre-built data integrations with thousands of analytics across vendors you already use & trust—like BartTorvik, CBB Analytics, EvanMiya, and more.
• Player valuation model builder that democratizes PhD-grade analytics into a simple drag-and-drop platform. Build infinite custom athlete analytics models to reflect your program's ideal player archetypes
• Rich athlete database powered by over 1.5 million player records across high school, college (DI-DIII, JUCO), grassroots (shoe & independent), and international levels
• Real-time athlete search with your models to instantly discover high-value talent as compared against your custom analytics models
• Fully-collaborative roster planning tools that allow staffs to compare scenarios, forecast roster spend, and manage their unique roster modeling strategies

‍

Dropback Powers the College Front Office

‍

After months in beta with numerous college basketball blue-bloods (announcements coming soon!), we're excited to open up access to DI programs nationwide.

‍

Dropback’s goal is simple: give programs a platform that mirrors what the best professional front offices already rely on.

‍

And now, Dropback’s entry level tier is available starting for free for men's and women's basketball GMs. Ready to onboard in < 72 hours? Reach out to hello@dropback.com
