They include Florida State, Houston, Michigan, Gonzaga and Oregon.

Rockets Red Glare
The NBA trade deadline closed yesterday after a flurry of late moves.
Through it, ESPN Stats & Info reports that the Houston Rockets came out of it in better shape than most.
Consider: After the Victor Oladipo trade yesterday, here’s how the Rockets’ have fared since the James Harden trade:
4 first-round picks … 5 first-round pick swaps … 20 games with Victor Oladipo … Avery Bradley … Kelly Olynk … Dante Exum … D.J. Wilson … and D.J. Augustin.
To my recollection, there has never been a player worth anywhere close to that kind of bounty.
