K.D. should definitely make it into the Top 10 career assist leaders and possibly into the top 5 depending on how this season plays out. Jank's 42-4 non-conference record at Moody is impressive but also indicative of the difficulty SMU has in getting good programs to come to Moody.

Did not realize Sasser & Carl Wright were so high on the career assists list
