I've been thinking a lot about how many players within the program are playing pro ball. And now several NBA contracts.
Guys playing pro ball oversees: Babb, McGee, Ejim, Matt Thomas, McKay
Guys with actual NBA contracts: Niang, Morris, Nader
Guys with 2-way contracts: Naz, Burton
We managed two Sweet 16s. And had 1 tied for second place finish in the Big 12 with many 4-5 place finishes. This isn't meant to troll or disrespect any of the success our teams have had over the past 5 years but it seems like we should have done more?
Your thoughts? Did we underachieve over the past 5 years (with the exception of last year)? Meet expectations? Exceed them?
For me, with bringing back the program from the dead but having so much pro talent - I'd say we slightly underachieved. The UAB loss really hurt in the potential to do great things. I really wish we could have seriously contended to break KU's streak. But we made the tournament for 6 straight years, won several Big 12 tournament titles, and have been fun to watch so that makes up for most of it.
