I thought long and hard about this and I am gonna say yes. The 2010-2011 team that was also a #1 seed? Gary was a fine big man on that squad but he wasn't close to what Blair would have brought. Blair was a generational player. By then as a senior he would have been unstoppable. Hell as a sophomore he was already pretty much unstoppable.

I truly believe that '10-'11 team if they had Blair gets to the final four. The outside game of Ashton, Nas and his role, senior Brad Wanamaker and his stellar game, Gilbert Brown and the athleticism... Oh man having Blair gets us over the tournament hump imo.

So I'm saying yes. Curious to see what others think.

His numbers as a senior would've been mind blowing.

With Blair they should have made it talent wise. But lots of things still have to go right to get to a Final 4. But if I had to bet I’d say yes.
