It's good for the student athletes. Eventually it will sort itself out. The alternative is having all the semi decent players realize that the G-league/Europe is far smarter.

Works for me...what was so bad about College Basketball when the early entry rule wasn't in effect for the NBA?

I don’t have an issue with kids going directly to the NBA. And if they declare and don’t get drafted- why not let em enroll with eligibility? I don’t think you should be able to block a man’s ability to make a livelihood when he reaches his majority just because the NCAA wants to bleed him for $$ for a year. Especially if you are not college material.

I guess the bball fan in me selfishly would like a better product where you can get to know and appreciate the guys who play for your school. I feel like I will be watching an Pickup game at the park with the amount of roster turnover that is going on. Have to believe a lot of these kids are making poor decisions that they are gonna regret. Oh well... free world. Go at it!

I think continuity is still possible, sticking with the same team is generally going to be the better decision in terms of a players future. The riskiest players to get are the projects, seeing as you might spend two years developing a guy only to have him bolt to a high major once he starts to reach his potential. We need a coach who is able to build and maintain relationships, something that Brannen has completely failed at thus far.
