I've had some good talks with my colleagues about this just wondering others input.
LaFamilia roster in all their primes could they win a national title? Let's say Pope is the head coach with current staff and this is his roster.

Sr
G- Grady 6-5 205
G- Canada 6-6 198
F- Sestina 6-9 234
F- K.Kanter 6-10 245
Jr
C- Willie Cauley-Stein 7-0 240
So
G- Aa Harrison 6-6 212
G- An Harrison 6-6 210
Fr
G- Eric Bledsoe 6-1 190
G- James Young 6-6 215
C- Daniel Orton 6-11 255

Starters/Bench
G- Bledsoe/An Harrison
G- An Harrison/Grady
G- Aa Harrison/Young
F- Sestina/K.Kanter
C- WCS/Orton

I argue that team could cut the nets down in April. My co-workers say it's a very flawed team but are UL fans.
 
Could they make a run if they got hot? Yes. Would they be favorites? I’m not so sure. That looks like a team that might struggle to score in stretches because the guards are pretty inconsistent, and the bigs that we actually got to see play were mostly defensive specialists. Kanter would be the wild card since we never got to see him play at the college level. If you assume he’s a dominant go to guy in the post, then it raises the ceiling quite a bit. I’m personally not sure he wouldn’t have had some growing pains as a freshman, so he doesn’t change my assessment much.

Considering that team has the same general makeup and many of the specific players from the 2015 team that nearly finished 40-0, yet has even more firepower, your coworkers are trolling or too stupid to walk and chew gum. That team can obviously win a NC
