Hard to tell a kid he can't make money, that he has to go to school. The nba's farm system is college basketball. Win win for them. Very hard on the coaches, work your butt off to have a kid for 8-10 months, and frustrating for the fans, but who cares what we think. I miss not having these kids longer too.
I say the top 40 high school seniors could be invited to a mini combine before their senior year and then ones that will be drafted high can go straight from high school. All others stay at least 2 years. It won't put as much strain on college coaches to fill their roster this way.
Yeah Ol Roy tries to get these kids, and the scandal may be hindering them, but I think the Carolina (Dean Smith) system may hurt him in bringing the "studs" to Chapel Hill. Like the joke was back in the day, he was the only man able to hold Jordan to 20 a game, and these kids may feel they can't "shine" in that style.
