Tonight’s game between Gonzaga and North Carolina will determine this years champion. Or will it? With so many of the best high school players playing for one or at the most two years of college ball before moving on to the NBA its hard to tell what team really is the best. I believe the Kentucky Wildcats could win the next two championships…. if the players they recruit would stay longer than One and done. I’ll pick Gonzaga in tonight game. They are not the most athletic team nor are they stocked with NBA players. That is why they will win. They have senior leadership, which means some of them have been there for four years. At Kentucky and some other Universities if you stay four years it clearly means you are not good enough for the NBA. Kids there want to win and they want to win NOW. The majority of the top tier players tell the Univ. that you guys have my services for one year then I’m moving on. Gonzaga players say “I doubt if I am going to the NBA, so I will enjoy all four years here , we will get better as a team, not as an individual & we just may win a championship”. Nothing is promised but i will take my shot with the “Team” than with the next so called “Jordan” for only one season. I know there is a fan out there reading this thinking Syracuse won a championship with freshman Carmelo Anthony, you would be right but ..a) that was 15 years ago, times were different. b) Keith Duany was the point guard on that team….a Senior. So enjoy the game, and marvel at the players ability, but unlike back in the day with Magic, Bird, Manning, Smart, Laitner, Ewing, Hurley, Alford, Cleeves & Olijawan they wont be in the NCAA for long.
