At 0.98, Andy Katz is the dominant pull in Jay Bilas's top 10 — and a second, nearly as strong cluster forms around Joe Lunardi (0.96) and Seth Davis (0.95), giving this a clear two-peak structure anchored entirely in college basketball media.
The shape flag is two-peak, and the data supports it precisely. The first peak is Katz at 0.98, a gap of roughly two points above Lunardi. The second peak consolidates around Lunardi, Davis, and Doug Gottlieb (0.94) — all figures whose audiences overlap heavily with Bilas's. Tallying the subcategories across the top 10: six are Journalists (Andy Katz, Seth Davis, Jeff Goodman, Todd McShay, Scott Van Pelt, Pat Forde), one is a Professional (Joe Lunardi), one is a TV Personality (Doug Gottlieb), one is a TV Channel (CBS Sports CBB), and one is a Sports brand (ESPN Stats & Info). The neighbor set is overwhelmingly same-kind: Bilas is classified as a Journalist, and six of his ten nearest neighbors share that subcategory. The two outliers worth noting are McShay (0.91) and Van Pelt (0.91), whose audiences skew toward NFL and general ESPN coverage rather than college basketball specifically — suggesting the second cluster carries some broader sports-media overlap beyond the college hoops core.
The overall picture is a tightly defined sports-journalism audience that peaks sharply on college basketball coverage and extends, with only modest drop-off, into the wider ESPN media ecosystem.
