smh at them sleeping on Newell, he might be the most talented player on the roster.

My thoughts exactly.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm hyped about the season getting started, but just a couple of observation:

1. Young point guards, lets not put too much pressure on him early, Blair is the steady one...Remember "slow & steady" whens the race

2. We need to play inside out, establish Fitz or Cj, first.

3. Play for each-other, set your picks, rebound and play defense

4. People are talking talent, we had more people drafted then UNC, DUKE and countless other teams that finished ahead of us, so talent wasn't the problem...see #3

5. This roster is loaded with guy's that seem to enjoy each other and that should translate into victories.

We are a good young team, that should have plenty of success, i'm predicting 22 victories this yr.

22 wins and Capel might win Big 12 Coach of the Year.

This roster is loaded with guy's that seem to enjoy each other and that should translate into victories.

I couldn't agree more, sharp1. There were too many "me first" players on last year's team, and that is never a good thing, regardless of the talent.

If these kids play together and for each other, as you are predicting, I believe 20 or more wins is possible. But even if we don't finish the season with 20 plus in the win column, I, for one, will enjoy it a lot more. I have a feeling the players and coaches will, too. I NEVER want to go through a season like last year again!
