My early predictions

PrintA slow day today, so I decided to throw out my early and quick predictions for the upcoming season.
1) Kansas State: Jacob Pullen is a great scorer and he should have enough help with the role players.
2) Baylor: Perry Jones is the freshman I am most interested in seeing and the inside out combo of him and Dunn will be deadly.
3). Kansas: Tyshawn Taylor is the x-factor and could be a solid player if he matures and plays within himself and the system. Add in Josh Selby and Marcus Morris and you have a nice team.
4) Missouri: I think Mike Anderson is a coach that does not get enough love. If he puts together a good season here, he could some bigger offers than in the past (Oregon)
5) Colorado: Bzdelik is gone but Higgins and Burks are good players to build around.
6) Texas
7) Oklahoma State: I think this is the cut off for possible tournament teams. I am not sold on OSU making it but I don't see any other teams below them making it this year.
8) Texas A&M: They lost too much last season and I do not expect much from them.
9) Oklahoma
10) Texas Tech
11) Nebraska
12) Iowa State: Hoiberg is just biding his time until 2011/2012.
Thoughts? Again, these are early and quick. Let me know if you have any glaring arguments.

Texas Tech
I think Texas Tech has a chance to be decent with Roberson & Singletary both back to lead them.
I think Oklahoma is too high. Frankly, if it were possible, I’d peg Oklahoma, Nebraska, and possibly Iowa State to lose all of their games. They might be that bad. Luckily, they play one another, and someone has to win. I like your top half of the conference though. I think KU may surpass Baylor by the end of the season, but I predict they’ll be playing catchup. They need to learn how to win with the new kids on the block. Mizzou might be a sleeper if anyone falters. They’re never an easy win. I’m most interested to see how Colorado does under the new coach. They certainly have the talent to succeed.
