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

Miles Simon—Now
Simon was indeed a great college player, but his game didn’t translate to the NBA. He was drafted in the second round by the Orlando Magic in 1998 and only played there for a year. He did very well in the CBA, and also played for teams in Israel and Italy. He was an assistant coach at his alma matter from 2005 to 2008. He currently works as an ESPN college basketball analyst.
