Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 1651282, member: 741"] MLB drafts high school kids without their permission (more or less). If a kid doesn't like his situation (team, low draft round etc), he doesn't sign and most likely goes to college. I'm not sure if he is eligible to be drafted again (MLB rules) the next year or it might be two years. I have seen situations where kids have been drafted multiple times before signing. The key here is that the kid is still NCAA eligible if he gets drafted. I have mentioned before that the NCAA should allow the same for b-ball players. Get drafted but decide not to sign, go/stay in college. NBA could easily go to more than 2 rounds every year with later rounds more of an indication of how good they feel a prospect is. If they start a better development league, this would be would be a way for them to fill their rosters. Also, I think that for MLB, foreign players are treated much differently. [/QUOTE]
