I’m not too optimistic for next year.
2006-07 was a year for optimism with a core of sophomores. We were the reigning Big 12 regular and tourney champs. We brought everyone who mattered back. We were also bringing in 2 big time recruits (Collins and Arthur). The team was already made up of proven winners and was only getting better.
This time, we have a core of sophomores who haven’t won anything. No big time recruits are coming in (so far). We’re losing our most productive player. If Doke comes back, we can’t count on him being healthy.
3rd or 4th in the Big 12 and a 5 seed is probably an accurate expectation for 2019-2020 (unless the recruiting news significantly changes).
