I hate them dead as much as the Celtics.
00:07
Those are the two teams I hate more than any teams on earth in basketball.
00:11
But I have to admit that I believe in Cooper Flagg that much that I think he's going to
00:18
carry them to the final four and to a national championship, literally in his one and done.
00:28
And I think Shire's a really good coach.
00:30
I think he's only going to get better.
00:33
And everything they got around that kid makes them very dangerous to me.
00:39
And I don't dispute your snags here.
00:42
I know you're going to throw some teams out there like Alabama.
00:46
There's a lot of really good teams.
00:47
I just think this kid is, you know, he's going to go for it.
00:53
He's got one shot at it, and then he's going to be the number one pick in the NBA draft.
00:57
So he got one shot, and I'm not doubting this kid in the least.
01:02
He is the best prospect college basketball player, bar none, in the country.
01:08
That's it.
01:09
That's all there is to it.
01:10
He's better than Dylan Harper.
01:12
He's better than Ace Bailey.
01:15
He's better than everybody, and you know it.
01:17
I'm not disputing that at all.
01:19
I'm not disputing it at all that Duke should be in a conversation to win a national championship.
01:25
They should absolutely be up there.
01:27
Guys, if you could put back up the lines there, the odds to win a national championship.
01:33
Yeah, absolutely.
01:34
Duke should be in a conversation, but I'm still going to think about Alabama for what
01:38
they have coming back.
01:39
And then the fact that their biggest issue was on the defensive end of the floor, and
01:43
they brought in Cliff Omori to kind of shore up the defense there at the middle, then allow
01:48
Grant Nelson to slide over to the four spot.
01:51
So to me, you've still got to look at a team like that to have a chance to win a national
01:58
championship.
02:00
So I still like them in that spot, Alabama 12-1.
02:04
And I'm looking at Baylor 20-1, a Baylor-Bears team that brought, you know, obviously gets
02:10
Jeremy Roach to transfer over.
02:13
They go ahead and they get another big name transfer.
02:16
They had Scott Drew kind of figured it out a little bit.
02:20
So I do think Baylor is someone at 20-1 to think about.
02:24
And the other team, and no one, it's not on here, and I don't know why, it's really deep,
02:27
is T.J. Aschenberger at Iowa State at 30-1, they have four out of five starters coming
02:34
back.
02:35
Like, and they're 30-1?
02:36
And the way they can defend and lock people up, they may not win it, but at 30-1, Iowa
02:41
State is a very big value option here to win a national championship.
