Yor Anei and Isaac Likekele are legit freshman... Yor Anei is 6'10'' 225 and broke the OSU freshman record for blocks, and has a ton of talent. He is going to be a pain in the ass for 3 more years.

Likekele is probably going to be on All-Conference lists for the next 3 years.... 16 against Texas, 23 against Baylor, 17 against TCU, 23 against West Virginia, 15 against Kansas, 16 against Houston, etc. Guy is legit.

Next years lineup:

PG: Isaac likekele (6'4'' 209) - Sophomore... #2 in assists in the Big 12. Leading returning assist guy in league.
SG: Lindy Waters (6'6'' 212) - Senior... 12 ppg... #5 3pt shooter in the Big 12. 44.8% and hit 70 3's.
SG: Thomas Dziagwa (6'4'' 180) - Senior... 12 ppg this year... #1 3pt shooter in the league. Hit 105 3's.
PF: Cameron McGriff (6'7'' 220) - Senior... 12 ppg this year
C: Yor Anei (6'10'' 225) - Sophomore... #1 shot blocker in the Big 12.

But instead of having no backups like this year, they have:

Marcus Watson (6'6'' 215) - #90 overall player... 4 star
Avery Anderson (6'2' '170) - #123 overall player... 4 star
Kalib Boone (6'8'' 205) - #128 overall player... 4 star
Curtis Jones (6'4'' 180) - #69 overall player. 4 star. Indiana Transfer
Duncan Demuth (6'8'' 215) - #37 power forward... 3 star

They are going to sign one more.... but they have a great foundation with shooters, slashers, guys who got experience this year, etc. You just can't win with 6 scholarship players obviously.

If Mike Boynton can't win with the best shot blocker in the league, the best returning assist man in the league, the best 3pt shooter in the league, the 5th best 3pt shooter in the league, and a really solid PF in Cameron McGriff, and 3-4 "four star" players as backups I don't know if he will win in Stillwater.

OSU and WVU are going to make the biggest leaps this year.. OU is making significant talent upgrades. Texas Tech is going to be very good again.
 
They will be a lot better but still 7-10 in the Big12. Also could get hit with sanctions.
