Early CBS confrence predictions

[Tedcyclone]

K-State returns almost everyone and Baylor will always have top 5 talent.

so, i still dont see us finishing behind them... i get the predictions, but i dont care who they have coming back. I exact Hoiberg to finish top 3 every year for the rest of forever. He shouldnt be fired if he doesnt, he shouldnt be ever, but i still expect it.

In for the $50. Just became a part-time TCU fan

[enisthemenace]

lots of homers here it looks like. We lose arguably our 3 best players in White, SC, and Allen...we do gain Lucious, Clyburn and the 4 freshmen, but is that enough to offset White, SC, and Allen? I don't think so.

PG-Lucious
SG-Clyburn
SG-Babb
PF-Ejim
PF-Gibson

Is what I think our lineup will be next year...Kansas will be good...Baylor has arguably the best rebounder and center in the class coming to them (Gathers and Austin).
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma return everyone...Oklahoma will be alot better then people think. Tech will be better, probably 3-4 conference wins. TCU will be better then people think. Kansas St. returns everyone.

I see it ending like this

1) Kansas
2) Baylor
3) Kansas St
4) Oklahoma State
5) Texas
6) Iowa State
7) Oklahoma
8) West Virginia
9) Tech
10) TCU

I think people are underestimating how big a loss Royce will be...I think we get a play-in game appearance, win that, beat a 5 seed and lose in the sweet 16.

Lost our best player, no doubt. Lost a couple of pretty good scorers too. It's probably also safe to say we 'lost' some defensive holes (I tried to think how to say this without it coming off too harshly).

I think we're going to see a much better defensive team next year, will have a true PG and a true scorer on the wing.

Top half is not that much of a stretch, IMO.

I will look for my $50 in the mail in about 11 months then.

Really, nobody's figured out why no one will be getting $50 yet?

Big 12 conference season isn't until 2013 ie. not "this year".

Ding.

Really, I'll be surprised to see them beat anyone other than Tech. Losing a lot of scoring, new coach, and of course moving to a vastly more difficult league.

Arrgh!

Nobody told me I'd have to think.

Yeah, I was on that but not going to spoil it for the others.

Don't worry. His technicality really doesn't stand up to common language usage. It's just a cheapskate excuse.

When people say "next year" about an upcoming season, they never mean "the section of next year that happens to fall in the current calendar year." When we say "next year," it's common knowledge that we are referring to the 2012-2013 season.

The technicality is a sham. The $50 still stands. Go Frogs!
