Predicting The College Basketball Senior Dunk Contest

Participant #1- Markel Brown, 6'6" G, Oklahoma State
Markel Brown is probably the best dunker in college basketball, and it just so happens that he is a senior that can participate in the end-of-the-year dunk contest. Brown will come in as the favorite, mostly because of his in-game ridiculous dunks.

Participant #2- Cory Jefferson, 6'9" F, Baylor
Jefferson, the man you see posterizing Jeff Withey, is not only a poster dunker. Jefferson is known for his crazy ups that he can use to do dunk contest style slams. In one game last year, Jefferson caught an alley-oop and injured his elbow, that's right, his elbow, on the rim.

Participant #3- C.J. Fair, 6'8" G/F, Syracuse
C.J. Fair is mostly known as a poster dunker, but the athletic swingman can throw it down with flare. His length will give him a strong advantage in the contest, since he should be able to grab alley-oops easily. The only question is if Fair can be consistent and original.

Participant #4- Jordan McRae, 6'6" G, Tennessee
Jordan McRae strikes fear into the heart of opponents, because they know he can make them look like fools with his dunks. McRae's time at Tennessee is almost up, and one of the best ways to top it off would be to participate in the dunk contest. McRae, like C.J. Fair, will bring exceptional length to the table in the contest.

Participant #5- Cleanthony Early, 6'8" F, Wichita State
Cleanthony Early has quietly led Wichita State to an top 5 ranking, but he should make waves with his dunk contest slams. Early's athleticism he displayed in last season's tournament will definitely give him a boost getting into the contest, where he will have to bring his best. Early is sure to bring excitement to the table in the contest.

Participant #6- Victor Rudd, 6'9" F, South Florida
 Rudd may be the first player on this list you have never heard of. If not, search Victor Rudd on YouTube and watch some of the dunks. Then you will believe the South Florida star deserves to be in the dunk contest. Rudd is one of the most underrated players in the nation, but he will make a name for himself when he lands a spot in the dunk contest.

Participant #7- Casey Prather, 6'6" G/F, Florida
Prather has made a name for himself this season, and he should finish the season off in the dunk contest. Before Prather became a star this year, the only thing he did for Florida was slam it down easily. With some assists, Prather is a darkhorse to win the contest.

Participant #8- Russ Smith, 5'11" G, Louisville
Russ Smith is no Nate Robinson, but he can still fly. At 5'11", trick dunks in a contest may be difficult for Smith. If he gets the opportunity to take part in the dunk contest, he will definitely make the most of it.
