How bad did Elonu hurt A&M?

I know Loubeau is a nice player, but Elonu was their best player and had a chance at second team all big 12..

I had them finishing 4th, but I think losing Elonu might drop them to the middle of the pack. 6th, 7th, or possibly around 8th.

I think it is a huge loss. I stil think they will be better than most of the other middle of the pack teams because of thier experience.

I will put them 6th behind OSU right now.

Think they'll still be pretty good. But its hard to say, I think OU can be better than them, but OU is replacing Johnson, and the Griffins.

Elonu was the teams second-best player, I think, behind Carter, and now they are losing their two best players. They don't have a super recruiting class... I think they drop to about 7th.

Here's how I see it.

Last year - 24-10, 9-7
This year - 22-12, 8-8 (with Elonu)
This year - 20-14, 6-10 (w/o Elonu)

Here is their Big 12 schedule and my guess at how they'll finish now.

Colorado W 1-0
Nebraska W 2-0
Kansas L 2-1
at ISU L 2-2
at MissouriL 2-3
at KSU L 2-4
Tech W 3-4
OSU W 4-4
BU W 5-4
OU L 5-5
Texas L 5-6
at Tech W 6-6
at OSU L 6-7
at BU L 6-8
at OU L 6-9
at Texas L 6-10
