The big 12 next year will look something like this, in my opinion
Tier 1: Both Kansas schools heavily favored with great rosters
KU is KU is KU. It will be interesting to watch Weber coach with REAL expectations and a loaded roster. I don't have much confidence in him, even though they went to the Elite 8. Mostly because they hardly beat anyone (Kentucky was a good win with a talented roster but half their team was more focused on picking an agent than their college career)
Tier 2: Texas, Iowa State, West Virginia
Texas always get overrated but no one questions their talent, Huggy is the second best coach in the league and until they calls fouls on his style of play they are always a top 1/2 team. Maui will be a great measuring stick for Iowa State. I think this team plays tons of small ball next year (Shayok and Talley at the 4).
Tier 3: Tech, TCU, Baylor, OU and OSU
Tech and TCU lost TONS of production and aren't exactly lighting the world on fire with recruiting. Baylor is always solid but they too lost a ton of production. OU and OSU are taking solid transfers but both loose their best players and shot-makers
