Amateur Status College Basketball Big 12 Preview


The Big 12 will be fun to watch this year. There will be NBA draft picks across the board (Cole Aldrich, Craig Brackins, Willie Warren) and talented freshman (Wally Judge, Xavier Henry, Avery Bradley) making an instant impact as well. You can even expect to see a transfer (the immediately eligible Jai Lucas goes to Texas from Florida, while former Wolverine Epke Udoh joins the Baylor front line and heavily recruited Curtis Kelly will finally see some minutes at K-State after coming from the end of Uconn's bench) make a move towards star status. Despite all the talent remaining in the league this year. The Big 12 race will still be contended solely by Kansas and Texas. The conference may come down to which potentially one and done freshman has the most impact on his respective team.
