#8 Texas

National Championships: 0

Head Coach: Tom Penders

Nickname: Longhorns

While I don’t generally love using one-and-done players, Durant is obviously exceptional, having won the National Player of the Year award as a freshman before heading off to become one of the very best players in the NBA. Between him and LaMarcus Aldridge, opposing forwards are going to have their hands full. Chris Mihm and LaSalle Thompson provide solid interior options, and the backcourt is full of NBA talent with Daniel Gibson, TJ Ford, and seven-time All-Star Slater Martin.
