I know I'm jumping the gun here, but could Stokes be eligible for the draft or do we have him at least until next year since he was a mid term enrollee? I don't think he will try to, but ya never know. After his performance today against a quality opponent he definitely won't stick around all 4 years, imo.

This is the kind of thing that has tempered my interest in basketball anymore. The new one-and-done thing really has the potential to trash a team unless you have a continuous pipeline to the studs like calipari seems to. Everybody else will always be playing second fiddle to get more than one kid that fits that has that kind ability. And when they get one.. he has a great year, then see ya... Kind of depressing when you think about it. I guess that is what the NBA is all about though.. $$$$$$$$$$, and very mediocre basketball.

Yep. See Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, etc. I wish the NBA / NCAA would come to an agreement of either lifting draft restrictions to allow high school players to go directly into the NBA or go to college and stay for 2-3 years or mandate that you have to be 2-3 years removed from high school before being draft eligible. Would make the college and pro games much better. For NBA fans, I think you'd see a reemergence of the big man in pro ball. Give them time to develop their skills in college.
