AP Big 12 COY

Outstanding. For certain no whorn can say he did not earn this recognition. Definitely the best of the two candidates.

Unless your a squawk...they're pissed that Selfie didn't win it this year. Claims of OU brought back too much talent to be included in the discussion for COY. This was a direct quote from a group of KU fans I had today

"Returning too much talent" -- from KU fans? Oh, that is RICH

Perry Ellis: Rivals ***** Scout **** ; consensus top-5 PF in Class of 2012

Andrew White: Rivals **** Scout **** ; Rivals #51 in nation / Scout #54 2012

Anrio Adams: Rivals **** Scout *** ; Rivals #98 2012

Naadir Tharpe: Rivals **** Scout *** ; Rivals #92 2011

Tarik Black and Hunter Mickelson, both transfers, were Rivals and Scout **** and top-100 players on both services...

Give me a break, KU fans. "Too much returning talent" happens when a team doesn't have national Top-5 guys jump to the NBA and then the 4-star guys stuck behind them get thrust into starter minutes, I guess?

Not an intelligent group of KU fans, that's for sure. Did you remind them that OU lost their three best players, 4 starters and 5 rotation players altogether... from a team that was a one-and-done #10 seed? I'm well-aware KU lost most of their top players as well, but they had the #2 rated recruiting class in America behind Kentucky...ours didn't sniff the top 25.

I don't recall what KU lost but OU lost three starters and five of their top 7 or 8 players depending how you count. M'Baye, Osby, Fitzgerald, Grooms and Pledger are all gone. That was major minutes from last years team.

All 5 starters from last years' team (McLemore, Withey, Releford, Johnson, & Young). I wouldn't have been upset had Self won it because of that, but it's not the slam dunk they're making it out to be IMO, because they're totally overlooking the status of the job itself in the pantheon of college basketball. If you're a half step above Bozo the Clown (& Self is WAY above that, no doubt), you can recruit well to KU.
 
The KU fans that I talked to today thought that Kruger was robbed (and OU as a whole was robbed being our players were under-rated too). But I would not have had a problem with Kruger or Self getting it over Barnes.

Glad the AP got this one right.
