Was Durant Among the All-Time Great Athletes at Texas?

]]> When I saw that the University of Texas was retiring the jerseys of several famous athletes and Kevin Durant’s name was on the list I thought….

Huh?

Durant was a great player and all, but does a one-and-done player who didn’t win a thing while with the Longhorns deserve to be in the same class as Vince Young, Ricky Williams, Roger Clemens and T.J. Ford?

In his one and only season at Texas in 2006-07, Durant was an All-American, the Big 12 Player of the Year and National Player of the Year among other numerous awards he received.

He opted out for the NBA Draft and had a very solid season for the Seattle (soon to be Oklahoma City) Supersonics winning NBA Rookie of the Year honors.

But does he really deserve to have his jersey retired at a school known for its outstanding athletes who all stayed for more than one year?
