2014-15 Season: Who Big 12 teams are losing, returning, and adding

[Dandy]

Color me confused: why is everyone so high on OU?

Just checked my box of crayons and I don't see any confused. Sorry. I can't help you.

Well, they got the 2 seed in the Big XII tourney this year and return most of their roster, for starters. Good coach and a pretty solid recruiting class.

My predictions as of now would be like:

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

I would put OSU below TCU. We're going to be terrible next year.


Also OSU is losing Brian Williams and Gary Gaskins. They are both transferring.

Man… we are losing 4 of our top 6 players off of a 9th place team. We are looking at a TCU type season. F…

My advice would be a name change and ditch the whole public university thing. Maybe Texas Lutheran Tech. Seems if you're a private religious school in Texas you can pull some great talent with little history or fan support. Baylor, SMU, and even TCU all bringing in some talented players.

Here is the link for Brian Williams transferring.

Here are a couple links that confirm Gaskins is transferring also.

TCU's Aaron Durley who red shirted the past two seasons because of two torn ACL's; his career is over at TCU before it started.

LOL! I think you are a little harsh on your team. I would say anywhere between 7-9. TCU still finishes last next year.

nope, I'd bet TCU does better than Tech next year.

Marcus Smart is going pro.

Damn it, I wanted to watch BDJ make him triple flop next year! (Cue the double flop from Kane)

It's a sad day for twocoach.

@ESPNCBB: Official: Kansas C Joel Embiid will enter the NBA Draft. http://t.co/hInyGXofSx

It's all good. We have a great big man rotation for next year and if we are fortunate enough to add Myles Turner it will be even better than last year. Glad we got to see Embiid play if only for one season. My picture of my daughter standing next to Embiid will be one we chuckle about for a long time. Nice kid. It will be fun to follow him and Wiggins as their NBA careers take off.

That chick from Tech, Hannahs is transferring to Arkansas

It was on Google News that UCONN is still looking to move to a different conference including B12.

It’s no secret that Connecticut wants out of the AAC and hopes to be invited to the ACC or the Big 12, whose TV contracts bring in at least $15 million-$20 million per school annually. But it really doesn’t have something that will enhance either conference’s football product.

The Huskies play in a 40,000-seat stadium, don’t have a track record of success and people outside the state don’t turn on televisions to watch them. They wouldn’t bring the Big 12 the Boston or New York cable markets.

I was thinking about UConn joining the Big 12 during their run.

Wesleybot does not compute that this thread is about basketball player losing, returning, and adding. Not teams to the conference.
