NCAA hoops was so much better 15 years ago when the kids could go pro straight out of high school. We got blessed with Melo, but the one-and-done has ruined college basketball. UK has turned into a series of 5star recruits that come in for one semester and leave. Duke seems to be headed down that model as well. It’s a rush to get the 4 or 5 best freshman and you hope the figure it out quick enough to get to the Final Four.
Sure, lots of kids will screw up by skipping college and opting for the draft, but let them chase their dreams.
I long for the days players were in college for 4 years and only the great ones leave after their junior year. Much better for the team, much better for the fans, much better for the game.
Let the kids leave after high school. There’s no value in delaying the inevitable.
