Its typical to have message board discussion on how good or how bad the next team will be, especially when we lose so much scoring AND experience. Probably somewhere in between both sides of the spectrum. While many have pointed out it will be fun to watch the young talent grow (while hoping the returnees like Babb and Young can really step up their games), all I can think of is last year's OU team. There was a lot of talent on that team but they had lost Cousins/Heild/Spangler/etc. OU really struggled but showed promise and had some high spots occasionally. Guessing that's what we're headed for...depending on what good additions we could still pull off yet in May.

I actually didn't think OU had a lot of talent last year.
While I agree with your comparison to OU from last year I also think the XII will be down from last year. KU will be good, West Virginia and Baylor should be decent but who else scares you? Im in the boat of just wanting to get into the tourney and see alot of should be wins or toss ups in conference.
I like Boykins' size for a guard. Good shooter, nice drive ability. Don't really get a lot of clips of defensive ability on highlight reels... but I think he'd be someone to look at. I think he'd provide good leadership and crunch time experience, while allowing our young guys to develop. With his size he'd be good depth at both SG/SF.
I agree with you. KU and WVU will be really good. TCU and Baylor will be tournament teams, the rest is up in the air.
I think they did, but not very well balanced talent. A lot of big guards/small forwards, and not a ton else.
1. Dont think we were ever involved with this kid but if Kansas took him maybe we should've been
2. Kansas is seriously the new Transfer U
I disagree. He was bad, I loved when he was on the floor. Because they always seemed to try to go through him a good amount, and he'd either turn it over or throw up a contested shot.Which would make this being his last Big 12 action:
Which is awesome.
And you're not even mentioning his defense, which is the worst part of his game.
What do you disagree with? I think its funny that his last Big 12 action is fouling a 3 point shooter and acting befuddled that it got called...when he's laying on top of the guy.
I will miss his bad defense though.
Trueee, how could I forget about that Defense. I misread the post, thought it was just saying "which is awesome" to the "Svi isn't coming back regardless". Where as I wanted him to stay in the league for as long as possible
Sorry for the confusion
