Before or the preseason, analysts and experts will never, ever give us respect. Even though we've lost some players and our coach, we've brought in probably the best basketball coach we've ever had. Not to mention the fact that our recruiting class is incredible. We've retained some of our most important guys and we've brought in guys like Egor and Catchings who already have experience at elite levels. (Yes, I do know that the Big 12 is stacked this year) I'm really hoping that a time comes when we don't have to defy expectations to get some respect.
