Okay, let's go right up right now to the top left, the region of depth. Donovan Dent from New Mexico is one of the great point guards in college basketball. That is somebody you want to put on your radar for sure. Ole Miss has a couple of players. Sean Padula, a terrific veteran point guard who transferred from Virginia Tech. Also, John Poulakidis, I told you, from Yale.

We go down to the region of prestige right now. A couple of guys, again, who are off the radar I'm trying to come up with. Bennett Sturtz at Drake, who's kind of the maestro for them. Also, Neat Clifford from Colorado State, who has been part of this incredible surge by Colorado State. He has been elite, playing like one of the top 15 or 20 players in the country over the last couple of weeks.

I will also point out in the UConn-Oklahoma game, Jeremiah Fears, the freshman point guard for Oklahoma, the brother of Michigan State's Jeremy Fears, is a name to watch. And then as we look right now in your top right, the region of firepower, I'm going to give you one for Mississippi State, Josh Hubbard, an electrifying yard. Plus Oregon, you've got Jackson Shelstad and Nate Biddle.

Max Shulga at VCU. Richie Saunders at BYU. At St. Mary's, Augustus Marshalonis is the least talked about back-to-back conference player of the year we may have in history. He's won the award in the WCC in back-to-back seasons. Ryan Nembhard we know from Gonzaga. For Georgia, a talented player, Asa Newell, who's a good freshman. I'm trying to keep going down.

Ryan Conwell at Xavier is like a poor man's Michael Redd. He will be in the first four Wednesday night in the Xavier, Texas game. And then I'm going to say, I mean, UCLA, I mean, you don't really get in the weeds here too much. But, I mean, UCLA, Eric Daly and Tyler Bilodeau, I would say, are two names there.

Right. I know. I know that. But in terms of, like, Todd was always this guy. And, like, I'll just – I talked about this with Bruce Pearl on our show tonight.
