Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1806098, member: 1423"] I can see why coaches from Nebraska, Penn State, Cleveland State, etc (schools mentioned in the article) hate it. They spend lots of time grooming players and when they're ready to give them the keys to the car, they get jacked by a higher-level program. The beneficiaries aren't just elite schools, however. The players benefit and I can see why they like the option. Guys like Gillon might not have been elite prospects out of HS. But they worked hard, improved through experience and earned a degree. Why shouldn't these kids be given an opportunity to plug in with a high-major team? White was a little more highly recruited but didn't get the PT he wanted, then moved to a team that wasn't going anywhere. So he now has a shot at a long tourney run and a good look by the NBA.
