00:00I hate them dead as much as the Celtics.

00:07Those are the two teams I hate more than any teams on earth in basketball.

00:11But I have to admit that I believe in Cooper Flagg that much that I think he's going to

00:18carry them to the final four and to a national championship, literally in his one and done.

00:28And I think Shire's a really good coach.

00:30I think he's only going to get better.

00:33And everything they got around that kid makes them very dangerous to me.

00:39And I don't dispute your snags here.

00:42I know you're going to throw some teams out there like Alabama.

00:46There's a lot of really good teams.

00:47I just think this kid is, you know, he's going to go for it.

00:53He's got one shot at it, and then he's going to be the number one pick in the NBA draft.

00:57So he got one shot, and I'm not doubting this kid in the least.

01:02He is the best prospect college basketball player, bar none, in the country.

01:08That's it.

01:09That's all there is to it.

01:10He's better than Dylan Harper.

01:12He's better than Ace Bailey.

01:15He's better than everybody, and you know it.

01:17I'm not disputing that at all.

01:19I'm not disputing it at all that Duke should be in a conversation to win a national championship.

01:25They should absolutely be up there.

01:27Guys, if you could put back up the lines there, the odds to win a national championship.

01:33Yeah, absolutely.

01:34Duke should be in a conversation, but I'm still going to think about Alabama for what

01:38they have coming back.

01:39And then the fact that their biggest issue was on the defensive end of the floor, and

01:43they brought in Cliff Omori to kind of shore up the defense there at the middle, then allow

01:48Grant Nelson to slide over to the four spot.

01:51So to me, you've still got to look at a team like that to have a chance to win a national

01:58championship.

02:00So I still like them in that spot, Alabama 12-1.

02:04And I'm looking at Baylor 20-1, a Baylor-Bears team that brought, you know, obviously gets

02:10Jeremy Roach to transfer over.

02:13They go ahead and they get another big name transfer.

02:16They had Scott Drew kind of figured it out a little bit.

02:20So I do think Baylor is someone at 20-1 to think about.

02:24And the other team, and no one, it's not on here, and I don't know why, it's really deep,

02:27is T.J. Aschenberger at Iowa State at 30-1, they have four out of five starters coming

02:34back.

02:35Like, and they're 30-1?

02:36And the way they can defend and lock people up, they may not win it, but at 30-1, Iowa

02:41State is a very big value option here to win a national championship.
