I have a feeling it is the norm.  I had pointed out that not to long ago there were something like 65 underclassmen declared for 60 draft spots.  Can't remember what year, it may have been when Flynn, Harris and Devendorf left in 09.  Now there is a counter example of why kids leave early.  One was an obvious 1st rounder, one was going to be a 5th yr sr with a family and the third was not going to improve his status.  So for them to go early made sense to them.  And while that may have been true of some of the kids who left early this year, some, even the 2nd rounders would have benefited from staying.  Even the experts point that out.
 
I do wonder about the NCAA though.  If it is about the students, why are kids given such restrictions (declare/undeclare by certain dates, don't sign with agent).  Why not allow kids to enter the draft, pay for their work outs and be able to go back to school if they don't want to accept their draft fate.  Heck, in baseball, kids get to make their choice.  Get drafted as a hs senior then decide if they want to go pro or to college.
