I can't see a 12-17 season either. Everyone except Cade Davis is back from a team that went 14-18 last year, plus we have more quality depth and size this season.
I think a reversal of last year's numbers to get us back on the winning track at 18-14 is about right. I wish I could be more optimistic and hope for a 20-win season, but I have a feeling we may be a year away from a return to that level.
It all depends on Newell, Grooms, and Osby. They are all projected starters, and if they play like high level players OU could win 22+ games. If they are average or if the team cant get a rebound, they will finish around .500.
