One and done is probably gone.... A move to allow the elite players to go directly to the NBA will be good for every

I support that 100%. And it will help BYU more than it will hurt us.

I'm sure this will drastically change BYU's recruiting pool.

Just takes those players completely out of the college pool. As much as I want to see kids in school

those kids don't go to school to study, they don't go to classes, they drag down

It makes more sense for them to attend (if they want) in whatever city they end living in w/ the NBA.

My only fear is college basketball turning into college baseball.

BYUCougarsFan

I don't see why that's a fear. I think that should be an example to follow.

College baseball sucks because of the minor league system, right?

they aren't going to do a minor league system

Nat Gas Man

10/16/17 12:55pm

There is a much smaller draft for basketball than there is for baseball.

Either it needs to be allow HS draftees or make them wait 3 years like the NFL

That's how I feel. I'd prefer they stay in school but if not, just do it on your own where ever you land

I'd prefer they go right to the NBA. They deserve to get paid....

I'd like the NBA to adopt rules similar to baseball

I’d argue this actually hurts programs not getting the one and done players.

The NBA draft will have 10 of the first 20 kids taken straight out of HS. Fun.

I don't like that either. Busts. unknowns. and scouts all over high schools.

Return of the Yeti

10/16/17 2:55pm

And if they don’t get into the NBA they can still go to college?
