Now that we know the roster, and practice has started, seems like as good a time as any for this thread.
If I were setting a preseason over/under for regular season wins, I would put it at 17.5. I see us going 10-3 in noncon, and am torn between 7-11 and 8-10 in conference. We are much less athletic than last year, and I think the guys we brought in as a whole are not as good as the guys who left (even though many of them never came close to their potential at OU). The new conference makes it tougher to predict how we will do since we will be playing in so many unfamiliar venues and against so many new opponents.
As for individual players, I think some of our new guys will likely look good against the dregs of our schedule, which will get expectations up among a lot of fans. Once we play real teams, I think we will see why most of the transfers were low-or-mid major guys. It sounds like we should have more shooters on this roster, but it's much tougher getting open shots in the SEC than it was for guys playing at Long Beach State, Fairfield, or High Point.
