If answered earlier, my apologies....but has Jasper Johnson given any indication as too when he will make a college choice????

Lots of ways to measure impact. I will say the difference in win totals with or without him is greatest on the team, in my opinion.
Another aspect to argue over the next four months - what player's presence, or lack of, makes the biggest difference in our win total.

At this point, I'm going to go with KP. Biggest reason is that w/o him we only have two legitimate guards on the roster (unless we add Johnson). Second he looks really good - guy that can score but can also make everyone around him better.

Yup. You're right. My bad.

But KU being #1 sure aged well...so did MSU being #4...so did FAU being #10...so did Miami being #13...so did ARK being #14...so did USC being #21...so did Nova being #22.

That's SEVEN teams that either...

(a) severely underperformed preseason ranking expectations...

(b) or even worse - missed the tourney...

(c) or even worse - became downright laughing stocks...

pretty concludable that preseason rankings hardly mean much in terms of projecting how a team's season will go.
But they mean a lot in terms of pre- and early season media coverage and visibility, which is valuable.
