Luka Garza - He was Player of the year his senior year and probably should have been player of the year in his junior year as well.

I thought Calvert Chaney and Jim Jackson were both going to have HOF careers. They did ok, but nothing like I was expecting.

would be a monster in today’s nba. TJ Ford comes to mind, unreal how he got that Texas team to a final four when you go back and look at the roster.

Outside of Isaiah Thomas, Bobby Knight players didn't typically transition all that well to the NBA.

Sam Bowie comes to mind but he was always injured, same as Pervis Ellison. Probably Christian Laettner
