This hurts alot unless at least 2 players on the roster have made astronomical leaps forward.
I've heard good things about Key. Not sure "astronomic leap" good, but good.
Looks like Louisville was the shark in the water for Faulkner. Can't fault a Kentucky kid for going home to play for a premier program.
Worst case is we go back to Thomas Akyazili-Xavier Talton level at PG, right?

Key is already a step ahead of those two.
My guess is KJ Simpson is that good. Faulkner realized his playing time would be shared with Simpson and Key - you don't transfer across the country to play 15-20 minutes a game, he can do that at Louisville.
Sorry to be confused but is Key, Keeshawn?
That's my thought (or hope). Also, unless I'm misremembering, I thought Faulkner needed a surgery and wasn't going to be available for camp & maybe early season.
Plus a couple of weeks of coach-led practices that are otherwise unavailable.

Do we really play Oregon/Oregon State twice at home? or one of those should be away?
Wow! That’d be disappointing!

I think we can set our sights a little higher than that

With a team with 5 freshman and 4 sophomores that will get plenty of playing time? We were 24-11 in spencer and askias freshman year. And they had brown dufault and Roberson guiding the ship. Think 20-21 wins makes sense

Teams with freshmen talent win 23+ games routinely in college basketball, especially when brining in a top-10 class. It isn't like CFB where more time is required to develop teams.
Look at Syracuse for instance, their rosters are almost always built from high 3* and 4* players, and they regularly win around 25 games a year.
I'm not saying it will for sure happen, but I think the team should set higher goals than 20 wins.

Syracuse last won 25 games 8 years ago.
Well... I don't hate the schedule at all on first blush.
Sure. Go for it. But in reality this team is all about potential at this point. Until we find someone to run the point in place of a GOAT, figure out who can be our go to scorer, and whether we can get through some transition/growing pains quickly, my prediction is spot on.
Fun Fact: In Tad’s first 9 seasons of PAC-12 conference play, CU had 84 wins out of 162 games played, or just 3 games over .500. Last season was the first 20 game conference schedule, and CU finished with 14 wins to 6 losses, or 8 games over .500. That’s their best conference record in fifty two years, when they finished 10 and 4 in the Big 8.
Da Lama I think your prediction is reasonable. I’ll wager on the over, because it’s Kool Aid season.

To clarify things, this is regular season. I anticipate finishing 4th or 5th in conference then winning 2 and losing 1 in the Pac 12 tourney. We dance as a 9 seed, win first rd, lose in the second and gain some great experience for the young guys. Final record 24-12 or 23-13.
