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

Mateen Cleaves—Now
Cleaves was drafted 14th overall by the Detroit Pistons, but his career never really caught on in the NBA. He bounced around the league for a while, played overseas, and retired in 2009. He became an ESPN analyst in 2010 and is currently promoting a young rapper named Jon Connor.
