Deonte and Naz should have switched spots. Naz looks tiny and Deonte looks huge.
Monte's shoes lol. Also looks like Hallice is wearing orange shoes. Oregon State gear?
Ernst looks pretty huge, too. I can see why several have compared him to Homan.
Iowa St picked 3rd in Big 12 by coaches

The OU and ISU games this year will be epic. I can see them being second due to fewer question marks and Hield is a heckuva player.
If Prohm has a positive influence on defense and maintains offense we will just need to avoid bad losses and protect home court to possibley steal the title, but an easy road it will not be.

Such a crap shoot as to who goes where, I realize, but I'd bet anyone here that West Virginia will finish in the top 5. Not a Huggie-lover at all, but Staten or not, I think they will be tough as nails again.

Congrats to my Frogs for their highest-ever Big 12 preseason poll position! T-8th! T-8th! T-8th!

Thought the Frogs were going to have a decent shot at being a convincing step above Tech and K-State this year and more of a threat to challenge for some wins to get in the 6th-7th place position in the Big 12 to make a case for the NIT. But, man, losing our returning F Kenrich Williams is an absolute killer. I'll settle for baby steps--if we can beat Tech and K-State 2x and get a couple more Big 12 home wins in the new arena, I'll be pleased. One thing I can say about last year is that even with everything--absolute inability to shoot free throws, playing "home" games in (literally) a high school gym, and going from undefeated in non-con to losses on losses in the Big 12, our coach kept the team motivated and fighting to the very end of games. TCU is just a couple recruits and an injury-free offseason away from being competitive. Hopefully the new arena will help recruiting and we can set up 2016-17 to be a year the Frogs can emerge as at least an average Big 12 squad.

There are 9 votes for each team, but ten votes for each ranking. ISU was voted second 3 times.
Looks like everyone voted Ku #1, and ISU or OU #2 or #3. ISU, KU, and OU don't vote for themselves and they cast #3 votes for UT, BU, or WVU.
It looks like there are 5 tiers here.
KU
OU
ISU
UT
BU
WVU
OSU
KSU
TCU
TTU
There a lot of teams with question marks heading into the season but the top 3 are absolutely loaded. I look for UT to be potentially in the mix with that top 3, WV and Baylor will be the next tier, after that, who knows. I think we'll have tourney teams.
He meant the USA Today sports writer, not the poll. The USA today poll is from the coaches. Meanwhile, a USA Today writer will make their picks and write an article about them later.
We need to prove it; they've earned their spot.
UT at #4 seems strange to me...I haven't followed their recruiting much, but last year's team + new coach = too many question marks to be ranked above Baylor. Unless I'm missing something?
Every coach would vote for their own team all the time. I'm sure you would even have Trent Johnson voting for his own team.
Yeah, I agree. Taking away that option gives you the most realistic views of the predicted team standings.
