Where Are They Now?
Former NCAA Superstars—Are They Having Hoop Dreams or Hoop Nightmares?
For most sports fans, the NCAA basketball tournament known as March Madness is all about bracketology. For the young players on the court, it's win or go home. Snakkle selected a slew of college b-ball heroes from the '80s, '90s, and '00s. (The latter is typically referred to as "the aughts." Yes, we're nerdy.) Some went on to NBA greatness, some not so much. All of them were certified sports superstars who helped their college teams snag a championship. Is your favorite on our list? If not, leave a comment and let us know! We can take it. (A tip of the cap to our friend Vin Getz of Sports List of the Day for his kind assistance.) By Brett Singer

Corliss Williamson—Now
Williamson was drafted 13th overall by the Sacramento Kings in 1995 and won an NBA championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004 before retiring as a King in 2007. Williamson’s nickname was Big Nasty, partly because of games like this one, where he and one of his Detroit Pistons teammates were ejected for being a bit too aggressive with the Sacramento Kings’ Brad Miller. Williamson was the head coach of the Central Arkansas Bears until 2013 when he left to be an assistant the Sacaramento Kings.
