MEN
2008-09 outlook
Predicted champion: Oklahoma State
Predicted player of the year: Rickie Fowler, Oklahoma State
Predicted freshman of the year: Peter Uihlein, Oklahoma State
NCAA Regional bound: Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Baylor, Colorado
Team on the rise: Texas
Biggest question mark: Texas A&M
Wouldn't surprise me to see: Oklahoma State senior Trent Leon, a two-time All-American and member of the 2006 NCAA Championship team, lose his spot in starting line-up given how strong the incoming freshmen class is in Stillwater, and the improvement by those already on the roster.
Would shock me to see: Texas A&M senior Bronson Burgoon not return to the All-American form he showed in 2006-07.
