Message: [QUOTE="Txhoopsalot, post: 4082255, member: 5143"] I am interested to see how Oklahoma looks with a new coach and perhaps a few more player pieces. Also, can Coach Gerlich make any progress at Tech or will the Raiders just tread water? The roster continues the pattern of lots of yearly turnover. How much of a threat can West Virginia be? Their roster is significantly deeper but is missing top scorer Kysre Gondrezick. Something I find interesting is the difference between the national view and the conference coaches view. The AP pre-season poll has Texas at #25 and Iowa State at #12. Preseason NCAA tournament predictions show Iowa State in the 3/4 seed range and Texas in 8/9 territory. Big 12 coaches are quite a bit higher on Texas with the pre-season poll predicting a Texas and Iowa State tie for second place. Texas received 2 #1 votes. National pundits also seem to expect that Baylor will not skip much of a beat this year under a new coach. Conference coaches are sensing a possible opening with a team adjusting to a new coach. Texas has a really talented energetic group of newcomers. In terms of wins/losses, I am prepared for results not so different from last year's team with some early losses (@Stanford for the second regulation game? Yikes), but coming on strong later. I am hoping for better conference results. The team needs early acclimation by at least a couple of the newcomers. The team had a public scrimmage Sunday with the players scrimmaging first against each other and next against some male practice players. The value of experience was on clear display, but so was the talent of the newcomers. Freshman pg Rori Harmon appears to be the starter. Aaliyah Moore will see a lot of minutes as a power forward and will be looked to for scoring. [/QUOTE]
