Bill Connelly from SBNation looked at the impact of returning players on point production.
It's definitely worth a read.
Relevant bit from Indiana -- he expects Indiana to drop 1.8 points offensively due to losing 52% of starting production. But due to returning 84% of defensive production, we're projected to actually improve defensively by 3.7 points per game. Putting our total improvement at 1.9 points per game (56th nationwide.)
Just something interesting to chew on -- it shows how big of an impact appropriate roster management can have. LSU is projected to improve by 9.4 points a game (total) due to their returning starters.
