Just spoke to Fran Fraschilla.
Convo started out on Conference USA, but obviously segued to Big 12 hoop, and he felt after ku and Texas - Jesus, the Longhorns are loaded, maybe more so than the Jayhawks if the talent pans out - it's wide open. He felt K-State has a good chance to be No. 3, but he thinks six teams, at the least, get into the NCAA Tournament, and the Wildcats should be one. He added that K-State is currently a major national sleeper, but he expects that to change.
Also, he thinks the starting backcourt in upper tier in Big 12. Said if Kelly can play 15-20 high-energy minutes for KSU, that's huge. Thinks Judge is an elite athlete. Has heard great things about McGruder and can't wait to see him. Loves Jam-Sam, saying people don't know about him and good he can be.
Yeah, I miss you guys.
