I think you are misunderstanding my point. I didn't mean it as a negative. We will obviously continue to be very good as long as Fred is here, I was just saying next year we know we have the pieces for sure. Future years we don't know who will be on the roster
Good stuff. I hope it proves to be true. If both Kansas and ISU are projected as no. 1 seeds.....the Big 12 is going to be very interesting next year, to say the least.
Decent chance- if underclassmen come back and spring additions are as good as last year's imo. Though to those limited to paper it will be hard to top this year's nonconference winning %.

I think losing Staten is really big for WVU. They may play a "good" system but they need all the scorers they can get.
And I thought Spangler was a senior for OU this year?

Nope. Thank goodness. I can't wait to see what kind of epic tribal he adds to his tat setup.
I hope so. Very small sample but they have looked fine without their starting backcourt the past two games and they add some offense in recruiting.
My focus on next year won't hinder this year's tournament performance, I can assure you.
Well, if you look at the scholarship chart, beginning my ************ for 2016-2017...
Monte Morris (now a senior, and probably the destroyer of worlds)
Custer's a junior by then, maybe ready for significant minutes
Cooke/Thomas for shooters from the 2-guard spot
Burton as the bulk energy and "trashman" like Hogue
Williams can do a Niang impression as a stretch 4
Morris/Cooke/Thomas/Burton/Williams would be a fun small-ball lineup, but might not stop anybody.
I'm sure Fred can shore up the lineup by then with a few transfers, JUCOs, and high schoolers for a Niang and McKay replacements. That "team" already has a good back-court, but they'd need some new bodies down/low or in the inside-outside positions that make the Hoiberg offense chug.

I wouldn't say huge if Monte returns, we'll have Cooke, Thomas, Burton, Williams and Hopefully a two-and-done superstar in the post. Plus the last thing to worry about is Fred finding players.
OK only loses Thomas, assuming Hield doesn't go pro. The league will be even tougher next year.
I think Williams gets a lot more minutes than Edozie did this year. Also, Burton is the most physically gifted guard I can remember having under Fred, who is beating up players in practice, and who has the potential to dominate other guards if he's in there playing the 2. I think by the end of the season, they'll be making contributions at least equal to Nader's this year. (Of course, I'm concentrating on the positives of the players which Fred has a history of bringing out.)

As much as next year is about talent its also about getting better about not losing the games we shouldnt. Games like South Carolina, @TTU and @Baylor spotting them huge early leads, or not being able to keep our foot on the gas and take a win when its in our grasp (Baylor, @KSU) need to be avoided and those werent just a lack of talent. Now with the core we have returning, hopefully that means we'll be a well-gelled machine pretty early in the season.
