RE: Good chance we will have a worse resume this year.
I think realistically we'll go 14-6 in conference play and be 4th in the Big 12 which would most likely get us a 2-3 seed. I think the Big 12 is slightly over hyped this year, it'll be the best conference in the country but not by a lot. Creighton, Duke and UConn I would argue are the three best teams coming into this season. We'll probably make it to the sweet sixteen or elite eight before getting beat by Duke or UCONN. The games we lost last year was because we couldn't handle the physicality of the opposing team but this year we've got Mag, we've got Boskovic, we've got Keita. We're going to be pushing teams around and it's going to be fun to watch.

Continuity matters to an extent and we have continuity with Dallin Hall and Richie Saunders etc. I would argue though that depth is more important. Kansas learned that the hard way last year. The coaching changes that Kevin Young is bringing seems to be building off of Mark Pope's philosophy but with the offense being a lot more three dimensional. It helps that outside of Boskovic everyone's been attending summer practices so the adjustment from Pope to Young should be relatively minimal by the time the conference season starts.

The main worry I would say is potential chemistry issues especially if people start complaining about lack of playing time.
