Thanks for something, anything, to comment on during off-season. While I think your lists are 30-40% bonehead calls, I'll confine my comments to the few things I follow closely enough to be confident about:
Kansas returns only two (possibly Chalmers, as well) of their ten who saw meaningful minutes last year. That is not "a lot of key pieces." The chemistry that made them champions will have to be completely re-invented, which took 3 years last time. They may well finish the year ranked, but pre-season, no way. Eight or ten losses is not out of the question.
There may well be no conference next year better than the BigXII, sure as hell not 3 of them. There won't be a single "weak sister" in the entire conference. New coaching blood abounds (but only OSU changes this year), and talented players spread through the conference. Consider that Bill Self, at 5 years, is second in longevity only to Rick Barnes.
