On paper, I agree however I think WVU will be ahead in standings over Texas. Shaka has to prove to me he can win with talent in the Big 12.

With what Kansas is losing, I could see a pesky/physical WVU team giving them fits for the title this year.
Kansas will be fine next year and will win the league by about three games, barring a major injury. We've lost WAY more than this from season to season and been fine. Newman, Graham and Azubuike are going to be fantastic next year.

Plus another Senior in Svi returning and Junior Vick. They don't even need Preston to be great they just need him to be ok with all the other guys they have. Their backup bigs are shaky but that can be overcome.

I still think Azubuike is a question mark.

I guess I'm not as high on Graham as you are. However, he still is very solid and a senior guard.

Tough health breaks late for Jaylen.
@GaryParrishCBS TCU’s Jaylen Fisher has suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. Surgery next week. So he will not accompany TCU on its trip to Australia

Looks like KU very good chance to land Mitchell Robinson now. LSU is out of it. Visiting KU this weekend and then making a decision. I think the other rout he could go is overseas.

Robinson would still need a waiver to play this year which is far from a sure thing. If he commits to KU and is forced to sit this year he may just enter the NBA draft next year regardless as he's still projected to be a 1st rd pick.
I wouldn't be surprised to not see him play college basketball at this point no matter especially since he hasn't ruled out playing overseas.

yeah, definitely a weird situation. Only went to WKU in the first place because of his godfather. I think he went to less than two weeks of summer classes.

If he waits to see if he gets a waiver, it will be awhile and likely lessens the chance of playing overseas. So will be interesting to see what he does. I guess there is a rumor that at the time he left, WKU still hadn't officially admitted him. So if they simply deny his admittance there could be a chance is is eligible on a technicality.
