It would hurt to see him in anything but a UT uniform. Dad is one of my all-time favorite players when he was here.
Mays is an easy #1 for me. Came here lightly regarded and played for Kaiser Bob. Absolutely worked his *** off to become a top 20 draft pick and most importantly was the leader in making UT basketball relevant. This is why I also have Blanks in your list and remove Durant. Blanks came in as a former top recruit, but a complete cast-off from UVA. Then like Mays, worked his *** off to become a first round draft choice and turn around UT basketball.
I include KD because he and TJ Ford made UT a sexy destination school for basketball. That plus his continued unwavering support for UT despite being here just one year. Your argument for Blanks is solid.
