Not making the big dance this year would be very dissappointing as we likely lose Brackins and Gilstrap next year.

Expecting to be in the top 4 of the big 12 is a tad bit overly optimistic if you ask me. KU, Tejas, OU are pry top 3 and KSU has a monster recruting class coming in. Beyond that, even though A & M and Mizz won't be quite as stacked, their program is on much better footing to have a successful season.

I think top half should be the goal and hope for a first day bye in KC.

I think we could make it. This team is pretty experienced to this point with a few new talented D1 recruits to fill in some holes. We did alright last year considering we stayed competitive with walk ons. With the recruits, we should do even better I would suspect. If they can pick up the system quickly even better.

I just want to see the 62-63 points a game average go up quite a bit. Which it should do this year. Not going to beat a Kansas team scoring 65 points.

I think this season, GMac lets the boys play ball. He's said for awhile now that he wants to play an uptempo game, but didn't have the horses. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Last year, we were able to compete with anyone....for the first half. I think we'll see a much different/improved team this season.

I agree with this. The walk ons kept us in it.. The new guys will help us win it.

Yeah Im a poet.

?

There are far more questions than answers about this team so it's early to get jacked up or down.

Need to be Top 5 in the Big 12 and a couple wins in the B12 Tourney....I am predicting about a 23-8 season...get a 6 or 7 seed..and we bow out in the 2nd round of the NCAAs.

This would be a great year for GMac....finally. There is no room for failure again this year. I believe our guys have the skills needed to win. Now it is time for coach to win and direct. They must get it done....especially with a top 5 caliber player in the country on our squad.

I agree to a point. Depends on if they recruits brought in for immediate impact do so.

We need to make the postseason this year. If it's not the NCAA's, the only way people might be somewhat satisfied, is if we win the NIT Tournament.

IMO it is a must that we are in the top 6 of the Big 12, but I doubt we are much higher than 4th. 5th or 6th is more likely.
