Good article. Didn't mention chance of transfer playing which I think makes them very good and not rely on freshman as much.

I don't know that texas was exactly in the "national spotlight" last season, but overall a decent article.

We will win it if Thomas is eligible.

"The biggest threats to Oklahoma, on paper, are Texas, Kansas State and Kansas." Where is Iowa St? This might be there best team yet under Hoiberg.

I like Buddy believing that we can do it. Speaks volumes about him.

niang lost 25lbs and looks like a greek god now! ISU will be up there with OU, UT, and KU...

ISU got the UNLV transfer that can play... A lot like Kane (I heard)

Ok article, decent for a biased blogger. I wish sports websites like this would stop being created. But at least they figured out that Ryan Springer is not someone on the team. (When the article was originally published, Spangler was referred to as Springer."

Yes, and we will.

I hate (and I mean hate) Kansas.

I live in Vegas and saw him a couple of times. Bigger head case than Kane and not as good a basketball player.

They always lose their 2 best players.

They have Jameel McKay redshirting. Gives them another post player to go with Niang.

They have Abdel Nader who redshirted last year after averaging 13 ppg for NIU as a sophmore.

And Bryce Dejean-Jones who averaged 13 ppg for UNLV last season

to go along with Niang, Hogue, Morris, Thomas and Long.

non of those guys are the big 12 POY or kane ..

None of those guys are Royce White and Chris Allen, Will Clyburn and Korie Lucious either!

And who expected Ejim last year to be POY this year?!?! He only averaged 11ppg last year.

Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa State, and Kansas State ... The top half of the Big-12 will be very strong. It should be a fun season for Big-12 basketball.

Can't wait for it to start.

I wonder whats happening in West Virginia! They had a shot to be really good this coming season but they lost 2 starters to transfers. Ever since they moved to the Big 12, they've gone straight to the bottom.
