Message: [QUOTE="Conrad13, post: 2319267, member: 3186"] This debate was brought up on the recruiting board and I thought that it was worth bringing here. If there was a viable minor league that took players straight out of high school, it would suck a good bit of talent out of college basketball. On the one hand, we college basketball fans would lose our opportunity to watch some great players and future NBA stars. But for me, one of my favorite parts of watching Syracuse basketball has been watching guys develop and mature over the years. I felt like I knew them. If I were to make a list of my favorite players (not the best, but the ones I grew attached to) it would include players like Fair, McRae, Pace, Warrick, and Douglas. Now, I have nothing against the guys who went to the pros early, I completely get it, but as a fan, I might prefer college basketball with players that weren't lured into leaving early and a system that could potentially have less corruption.
