Does the Malou signing put us to the point to not expect a drop off if Monte comes back? I'd say if Burton is a Big 12 player this year it is.
Niang/McKay will be hard to replace but Morris, Thomas/Cooke/Burton, and the other newcomers of this year and next year including highly touted Malou and Jackson...that's a ton of talent and possibly a top 3 backcourt in college bball.
Huge if that Morris plays 4 years, but if he does it's a great luxury having Jackson instead of just a solid plan. Also if he does play four years you're looking at ISU's all time assists and steals leader with him likely passing Hornacek. Think he could move up pretty high in scoring as well.
