KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Here are some observations after spending Thursday at Big 12 media day: 1. Texas freshman Myck Kabongo is going to be successful. How do I know without seeing him play a single college game? Just call it a hunch. Kabongo was introducing himself in such a polite and engaging manner Wednesday night and then again Thursday. He had such a presence about him, answered his questions and even avoided some about other players in the Big 12 without sounding disrespectful. He might be one of the most impressive freshmen I’ve seen at a media day in terms of the way he carried himself. Kabongo understands the importance of a first impression. 2. If Kansas wins the Big 12 yet again this season, it could go down as one of Bill Self’s most impressive coaching performances. The Jayhawks legitimately don’t have a star or a stud on this roster that you can guarantee will be a first-team all-league player or an NBA first-round pick. But Self is relishing this roster. This is a collection of players who are just like him, players who have to earn their keep and will need to win by ensuring they are one team with one agenda.

Oregon will ignore the NCAA and Willie Lyles, at least until it can’t : No one thought Ducks coach Chip Kelly was going to say much at media day about the NCAA inquiry into scout/street agent Willie Lyles and his dealings with Kelly and the program, specifically pertaining to running back Lache Seastrunk . But there was no lack of trying to coax Kelly into saying something revealing: “We look forward to when we can [comment],” Kelly said. “I’d love to talk about it
