Haha! No, that’s too bold even for me. I said he will have A 13+ rebound game. Not average 13+.
Due to our size, conference, and leading scorer being not great at D, we will play more zone this year. It will probably get a cute name and will be effective. But it will be a zone and deep down drive CKS crazy.

Coogs finish second in the regular season
Win the conference tournament
Win the national championship
Bold Prediction: Kelvin hands reigns to son at end of the year.
Not this one. Too soon. I love Kellen, but would be grateful if kelvin just finishes his contract.
On the other hand, if he turns it over at the end of the season to Kellen, it means we had a great season!!
My prediction: We finally get lucky and don’t have any key injuries going into March madness.
Emmanuel sharp has a coming out party and is voted big 12 6th man of the year.
Jwon averages a double
Jamal wins the non Cousy award.
Coogs win Chamionship

I look for Tugler to be the first guy off the bench along with TA and Dunn. Out of all the Sampson interviews I’ve heard, Tugler is the guy he’s praised the most for his tenacity on defense.
While Dunn could start, I’m thinking Sharp steps into the starting rotation along side Cryer and Shead. That gives the Coogs two guys that can light it up from the outside. Again, we could see Dunn start, but I think Sharp is proving to be a starter with his scoring and improvements on defense. Regardless, I think Sharp will be the guy everyone is talking about by the end of the year.
As for TA, I’m still hopeful he can put it all together like everyone else. Where I defer is that I still think he has a ways to go before being a significant contributor. He shot horribly during the summer, Australian games, so that doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that he can shoot well at this level of play.
On the other hand, he’s solid defensively and can rebound a bit, and we all know that’s how you earn time on the court under Sampson.

Between Dunn and Sharp, the better defender will start. Cryer is already a step back defensively from Sasser.

Interesting.
2020-21
Damian Dunn averaged 13.5 points and 4.2 rebounds. Made All-AAC Freshman team.
Tramon Mark averaged 7.8 points and 3.0 rebounds. Did not make All-Frosh team.
2021-22
Dunn averaged 14.9 points and 4.2 rebounds, making 2nd team All-AAC.
Mark was injured and played 7 games.
2022-23
Dunn averaged 15.3 points and 3.7 rebounds, making 3rd team All-AAC.
Mark averaged 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds. Did not receive any conference honors.
Both shot similarly. 39% from the field. Mark was 30% from deep. Dunn 31%. Mark 79% from the FT line. Dunn 81%. Dunn committed more turnovers.
I don’t know about Dunn’s defense, but on paper he appears to at least be an equal replacement for Mark from a scoring, shooting and rebounding perspective.
===========
Sasser scored 854 points on 734 shot attempts in 2025 career minutes going into his senior year. 0.42 points per minute. 1.16 points per shot attempt. 36% from deep.
Cryer scored 788 points on 600 shot attempts in 1695 career minutes at Baylor against tougher conference competition. 0.46 points per minute. 1.31 points per shot attempt. 42.5% from deep.
Cryer is not the defender Sasser was. But from a scoring perspective, Cryer appears to be more efficient and at least equally productive.
