Still waiting on the shocker that Barnes was talking about....regardging the scholarship situation...

Here’s hoping it’s Hill that gets the ax…

#3 Sounds about right.

It’s our best team since the Gibson, Aldridge, Tucker days.

This ain't football, thank goodness

With so many new starters, it may take some time for the team to gel. If we drop a couple of close matches before we find ourselves (like Notre Dame last year) we could drop down from #3. Then we have a tough Big12 schedule. I’d be happy to be in the top 10 when we start our tournament run.

The talent is there...

I think Damion coming back will provide the leadership that’s needed to succeed.

I don't see Damion as a leader.

Maybe there is something there behind close doors. I did like when he yelled at Balbay at the end of the game. “Dunk that $h!t, Dunk it all the time.”

Jai's job

Floor leader is the point guard’s job. Barnes does not need any help yelling at the players.

Leader and director are two different things.

I imagine the leadership is coming from Dex and Mason.

Bradley

Although only a freshman, from what I have read he has leadership written all over him. It will take time for him to earn the respect of his teammates.

One of the big issues last year was there was no team leadership or chemistry. Neither AJ, Mason, Atchly, James, etc.stepped up to the roll.
