Loaded was definitely a poor word choice. They will however be better than they were this year, if all of the core comes back. There is even talk that Garrett might stay due to everyone in hoops getting granted an extra year. If they do all come back, and that could be a big if, given how transfers have exploded and kids sometimes make poor draft decisions, they will be better than this year with another year experience. KU won't catch UK this year. With McCormick out for Big 12 tourney, I don't think they will win more than one game in KC. I think if they make it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA that would be a good year for this squad. It is definitely down in terms of past teams. I think KU wins 3-5 more total games this yearNone of those names, who helped Kansas to one of it's worst years in the last decade, equate to "loaded".
