    Which college would you choose if you had a chance? I would go to Duke because they are always a good team every year, they also have a great coach in Coach.K also my favorite player went there(Grant Hill).

    I'd go to Memphis. They're my favorite college. I would love to be coached by Calipari. Second choice would be Louisville. Pitino would be a great teacher of the game as well.

    I would go to UNC because I would want to win a championship and I think they have a good chance this year. I also like the Heels and would want to play next to Rashad Mccants because in a couple of years, he will be star.

    I'd go to Kentucky because they're my favorite team, plus they're in the running every year to win the championship...

    I'd go to Arizona because it is such a great point guard school and they are my fav team.

    I would go to North Carolina, as you all could have probably guessed. They have great academic classes, and a great basketball program. Roy Williams is a great teacher, and ever since I was a little kid I have dreamed of jackin up a buzzer beater 3 in the Dean Center against Duke, and win. That is my drive when I'm out there practicing.

    I would go to the University of Kentucky, I have always been a fan of UK. Like pettit33 said they are in the running for the National Championship every year. Also playing in the SEC and playing in a local area would be cool. And it would be a dream just to play in Rupp Arena.

    North Carolina baby, for sure... Michael Jordan, Rasheed Wallace, Vince Carter, and Antawn Jamison all came from there and there's a lot more. If it's not there I'd have to be UCLA because Reggie Miller, Baron Davis, and Earl Watson came from there. And if it were none of those it would have to be Fresno State because of Rafer Alston.

    I'd love to go to UConn, or, if not that, stick around home and go to Iowa. Either one would do me fine.

    I'd have to rep my colors and go to the University of Kansas.

    Paul Pierce, Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, and even Wilt Chamberlain came out of Kansas...and I'd love to be next on that list. [​IMG]

    Has to be Duke. Having the priveledge of being coaches by one of the greatest basketball coaches to ever live is a once in a life time oppurtunity. Being able to play at Cameron indoor stadium, sends goose-bumps down my skin.

    I'd either want to stay home and go to the University of Washington or play at Arizona under Lute Olsen with great weather and plenty of girls.

    If I had to choose if I was going to be a high school senior promising NBA basketball player it would have to be UNC, may favorite school by far, getting coached by one of the best in the game today. Plus having a chance to be one of the national power houses each year.

    But if I have know I have no shot of making it in any basketball leauge and I would have to choose from an academic stand point it would probably be Penn, St. Joes or somewhere close by that has a good academic college.

    Shard if you are looking for girls come to Towson State University. It's a d-1 school, and has a great incoming coach. Plus Playboy rated them as the best looking college for girls in the country in 2003. My bro goes there, and let's just say he'd likin' it.

    I would go to Gonzaga if I had my choice and be taught by a great coach in Few. An Alterative would be Missouri even though they are having problems right now you have to love Quin Snyder.

    I would first chose a school that has a great academic record and is not focussed more on basketball than academics, so that automatically excludes all SEC and C-USA schools (minus Marquette and Rice). Then I'd look at the few schools I felt were academically excellent and weed out the teams that don't have good basketball programs (so out goes all Ivy League school and a few others). The list I'd have left would look a little bit like -

    1. Notre Dame
    2. Duke
    3. Michigan
    4. North Carolina
    5. California
    ----------------------
    Academics Aside -
    1. Michigan State
    2. Indiana
    3. Villanova
    4. Syracuse
    5. Hawaii (always got to consider Hawaii [​IMG])

    I'd go to the University of Washington. ...wait, I already go there. Cool.

    If we're talking purely basketball, I'd choose Duke.

    I'd probably go to either North Carolina or Duke.Both have rich basketball histories.Duke has an incredible coaching staff led by Coach K. Playing alongside Rashad McCants would be pretty cool,too.Not to mention Roy Williams.
