7. Kalen DeBoer should be ranked higher than Sark Freeman and Lanning dude played in a National championship idk why he gets overlooked he wins everywhere he goes

A what-if moment that doesn’t get talked about enough: How much deeper does Texas go in the 2002 NCAA Tournament with a healthy Chris Owens?

I’d drop Day behind Cignetti and DeBoer. I’d also put Matt Campbell in the coin flip group. I don’t think he can get ever enough credit for making Iowa State a respectable football program.

I'd like to see more from Cignetti before he is anointed.... amazing year, but he is going to lose a lot of players, can he maintain? build? all the credit in the world, but sometimes you get magic in a bottle w/ a team... I'm wait and see a little more still. 🤘

Rick Barnes' run from 2001-02 to 2007-08 for me. Fun era of basketball to watch. So many great wins and heartbreaking losses, but was fun watching all that talent on the hardwood during that time.

If the little 12 wants a new commissioner with a ton of experience and focus on safety and no prior experience I’m Yormark’s replacement. I’m sure the idea was “it’ll look cool and we’ll be able to sell ads ON the court during game time!! Plus, we can put graphics and other trash to distract fans from actually watching and enjoying the game. Oh yeah it may be a huge issue for the players, but they’ll adjust.”

Texas host Ole Miss this weekend.

Duke has had too many great players to mention. Grant Hill, for a lot of different reasons, is the GOAT.

Get the Northern Arizona University men’s cross country team to transfer.

If there is issue with the ankle he would been a boot, so just chill.

non-Texas, I grew up in the northeast so the big east tournament in the early 2000s was always peek hoops for me. My family didn’t grow up with a lot of $$ but my dad would always take me and my two brothers to a full day/night session and it was always the best. Was never a big NBA guy so really how I started to fall in love with college hoops. Texas wise - the elite 8 team after KD with Augustin, Abram’s, Damion James. What a fun team, Memphis was just too good

The strength of that conference is in it's basketball programs and the last thing the tournament needed was a gimmack. What an idiotic move by Yormark. I guess a leopard cant change its spots.

Good list - very interested to see how Campbell does over there at Penn State. Don’t like the guy for some of his BS but solid coach so very interested to see how that plays out.

No doubt, still just hate that it went down that way

Pretty spot on. Where would you have Lane? I feel like you are pretty high on him so surprised you don’t have him in the sark/lanning/mario section. I guess you if did just offensive minds he’d be up there no doubt but just curious.. I personally wouldn’t

💯 It ain't Bob's Refried Beans either.... 🤘

For me going into this season ... 1. Kirby 2 Day (I joke about Day being born on 3rd base like anyone else, but has been to five CFP's, 7 straight top 10 finishes and has kept Ohio State amongst the top 2-3 college programs since being hired - which is all very impressive). Would go Day, for now. 3. Cignetti 4. Kalen DeBoer - taken two teams to CFP, and played for an NC 5. Marcus Freeman -played for an NC, and took over top historical brand in CFB at age 37. Many have failed in similar scenarios before him at various blue bloods. 6-8 ... Flip coins on Sark, Lanning and Cristobal ... depends on your criteria Sark and Lanning the convo ... Lanning bad playoff losses, also went out and won the Big 10 first year in the league (meaningful) Cristobal is the one of the three that has played for all the marbles. BTW, Dabo has really taken a tumble on these lists due to portal approach IMO. It's cost him. But what he's done at Clemson is still CFB Hall of Fame stuff.

1980s

Graduated HS in 87 and UT class of 92. Loved the Tom Penders Runnin Horns with BMW and completely enjoyed many of the teams from 2003 to 2011 under Rick Barnes but the greatest period for College Basketball imo was the 80s into the 90s. Indiana and Bob Knight, NC and Dean Smith, Georgetown and John Thompson, Duke and Coack K, Syracuse and Jim Boeheim, Kansas and Larry Brown then Roy Williams, Michigan and the Fab 5 plus all the other incredible teams in the Big 10 from Illinois, Iowa, Purdue and Gene Keady!!! great times!!

University of Houston, North Carolina and Georgetown, back in the mid 80s. Great college basketball. More excitement. Then got good at Texas with Penders and BMW attack. That was ultra fun basketball, Texas and Arkansas.

Mine hasn't happened yet ... lol CBK has always been tremendous. March Madness is the best thing going in college athletics, and I don't think it's particularly close.

With Muschamp now leading the defense and Sark going into 6th season, I predict this will be Sark’s best coaching year yet at Texas. He has the talent now to unload his full arsenal of creative play calling. Will it match his last year at Bama as OC? Will be fun to watch!!
