2016-17 Season: What Players Big 12 Teams are Losing, Returning, and Adding

[kucyclone]

The Big 12 this year is one of the best conferences of the last 15 years so yea it's gonna fall back pretty hard. Especially when you lose players like Niang, Buddy, Ellis, etc. Even Tech loses Gotcher and Williams. The league will still be a top 5 conference nationally but as long as it isn't at historically high levels like this year then it's better for ISU.

I completely disagree with your notion that it's better to play in an weaker conference.

Cool.

Iowa State will not have the respect next year that we have had the last few years so you almost need the league to be good so you can get some good wins and prove you aren't winning games just because the league is down.

Unranked 2 star add for Bruce.

(Not really a knock on the kid Webber seems to get solid players out of the unknowns)

6'3 Cartier Diarra of West Florence has committed to Kansas St

Sounds like a B-Web player...

@CoreyEvans10 Cartier Diarra announces for Kansas State. Major sleeper out of South Carolina. 6 4 guard who is best on the ball. Facilitates and finishes

KSU's last Cartier was pretty darn good.

That'd be a big blow to KU next year if he isn't going to return

Is this sarcasm?

You can add Devin Williams to the list. Entering the draft but it doesn't sound like he's coming back either way. Big loss for WVU.

Yeah important Big 12/WV news. Suprised he is not testing the water first and getting feed back before hiring an agent but looks like he's committed to going pro.


@collegehoopsnews West Virginia forward Devin Williams will enter the NBA draft and will sign with an agent according to reports. #Mountaineers #NBADraft

Big 12 is going to be down next year... immensely so. No reason if we have Monte back, along with Naz, Thomas, and Burton that we can't compete for top 2-3 in the league. KU I think runs away with it, but other than that I thought WVU would take 2... this hurts them.
