Grooms has a list.

1.) Texas
2.) Kansas
3.) Texas A&M
4.) Kansas State
5.) OU/OSU/ISU/Tech/Missouri
6.) Baylor

Thats how I rank the league this year. Everyone in "5" is even to me right now.

"Right Now", this very moment, I wouldn't put OU that high. Right now I'd put OSU and MU a little ahead of OU; and ISU and Tech a little below OU. When you officially have the people you will probably get, then I would move you in with OSU and MU. Just my opinion.

Yes, that assumes OU will get Grooms or Jones. If OU doesnt get Grooms or Jones, they will be below those other teams. Thats how important getting them are.

Now, I think you are sleeping on ISU a little bit. They get everyone in the league this year in Ames, a traditionally tough place to win, and have a good roster. ISU is going to put a GREAT shooting team on the floor next year.

PG: Tyrus Mcgee (6'2'' 190): 1st Team Juco AA in 2010. Averaged 20.1 points per game as a sophomore, and shot 48% from the 3pt line with 115 makes. Possibly the best 3pt shooter in junior college basketball this year.

SG: Chris Allen (6'3'' 205): Transfer from Michigan State. Started 27 games and averaged 8.2 points to help the Spartans reach their second consecutive Final Four...led the team in 3-pointers made with 53, connecting on 39.8 percent of his shots from downtown...averaged 2.8 rebounds and was third on the team in assists with 73.

SG: Chris Babb (6'5'' 220): Transfer from Penn State. Averaged 10.2 points while starting all 18 Big Ten games. Was third on the team in assists (69) and steals (22)...made the second-most 3-pointers on the team, hitting 69-of-185 (37.3 percent) from beyond the arc.

SF: Melvin Ejim (6'6'' 215): Started 30 games in his freshman campaign, averaging 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds...shot 48.6 percent from the field (121-249 FG) and tallied 39 steals, second-best total on the team...one of 12 Iowa State freshmen in school history to average double figures in scoring...recorded 214 boards, the third-best rookie total in school history...ranked 11th in the Big 12 in rebounding (6.7)...ranked third in the Big 12 in offensive rebounding (league games only) at 2.9 orpg. Honored as the Big 12 Rookie of the Week twice (Nov. 22, Dec. 13)

PF: Royce White (6'8'' 250): Transfer from Minnesota. One of the top players in the Class of 2009...ranked No. 19 and No. 2 small forward in the final Rivals.com ratings of 2009...Scout.com ranked him as the 10th-best power forward...was one of 20 preps invited to play in the prestigious Jordan Brand All-Star game in 2009, scoring 10 points...named Mr. Basketball in the state of Minnesota in 2009.

I just dont know how you arent good with that kinda lineup and experience.
 
yes we play the other nine teams twice

The chances of Baylor winning 12 out of 18 conference games in this league are slim to none. There are a lot better, more experienced, better coached, more talented teams than Baylor this year.
 
How can you lose the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Big 12 and a top 5 draft pick, replace it with players who arent even close to their level, and get better?

Bringing in the 5th best player in the country, and the 43rd is a decent start, wouldn't you say?

And Jones isn't gone yet, unless I've missed something, and they probably aren't done recruiting yet.

I never said they'd be great, but I'd bet you just about anything they don't finish in the bottom two of the conference next year.
