2021 Target List

Kennedy Chandlers top 5: UT, Duke, NC, Memphis, and Kentucky

So basically us and all the blue bloods
I'm sure its semantics and not a big deal but I NEVER EVER consider Memphis a Blue Blood. To mention them along with Duke, NC, and Kentucky as a blue blood is just not accurate. They've only PLAYED a couple of times for the title and never won one. I think to even get close to Blue Blood status you need a minimum of one championship. But I understand the point you're trying to make.

To clear this up, I dont consider memphis a blue blood either, that why I said "basically" sorry I should have been more clear. They arent on there level for sure, agree 100%

I consider Duke, UNC, KY, Kansas, and UCLA as blue bloods. UCLA built up a lot of equity in the 60s and 70s. Georgetown was nearly a blue blood but couldn't keep up their status. UConn needs another natty or 2 to join the club. Indiana was there and kind of dropped out. After the 5 blue bloods the next group includes Indiana, Gonzaga, Arizona, Louisville, UConn, Memphis, Florida, NC State, and a handful of Big 10s and maybe another B12 or two. Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and maybe Purdue since they have a winning record versus all others in the B10 teams iirc. There's a log jam after the top 8 or so. Also the time frame matters since Gonzaga is a new blood and Indiana had it rolling 30-40 years ago. San Francisco was once a power as well. Florida's success doesn't go back very far.

Memphis and NC State are not 2nd tier bluebloods. IMO.

I wouldn't say any are 2nd tier "blue bloods". There are just a bunch in the group outside that could join the blue bloods with about 5-10 years of being in the FF and championship game. 30-35 years ago Duke probably was not a blue blood and Indiana was. After the 5 blue bloods, my next 5 would include Indiana, Michigan State, Arizona, UConn, and either tOSU or maybe Michigan. After the 1st 10 or 12 then there are a bunch of candidates in the next group. Anybody with recent (1960 or so forward) multiple Nattys should be there. NC State has two.

Cisse is releasing top 6 today according to his twitter, think we will be in it with him most likely reclassifying?
