Players should be able to be drafted out of High School.   They should be able to try to go pro whenever they want.

As to #2 why create some strained ridiculous evaluation construct?    You already have it, its called the draft.   Players should not forfeit their eligibility simply because they were drafted.   The whole idea that they have to renounce their eligibility to be eligible to be drafted is really sort of an ultimate screw job by the NCAA.    Basically the NCAA is working in concert with the NBA and saying we'll make things more certain for you by eliminating the possibility that you draft a kid and he then chooses to play another year of college ball.

You could even allow the kids to go to controlled workouts if you want to, without impacting their eligibility.   There is no reason that they need to sign with an agent prior to being drafted and making a determination that they want to sign.

Why make the whole thing harder than it has to be?   I understand why the NBA wants it that way....teams have a hard enough time selecting productive players.   Add in the possibility that the player you select might return to school and you'd really see the NBA GMs scramble....but why should all the risk be on the kids' backs.
