I know this has been a touchy subject in college basketball and even in the NBA...the one and done rule...and I was wondering if anyone on here was against it other than me...the reason I'm against it is this....can a program after time live off players that is here one minute and gone the next...but the main reason is lets say lil johnny is avg. 20 pts 10rbs 7ast a game but he's in a small school out in the sticks...when all the coverage on tv is making a big star out of Timmy that avg. 14pts 6rbs 3ast a game... lil jimmy wants to get into a college to stay all 4 years to get his degree while Timmy wants the money and fame but not anything to do with college...all the scholarships are used up on the Timmys of the world and the lil Jimmys are left out...am I :crazy: for thinking this?

Not letting them go out of High School is a joke.

I heard Eddie Fogler suggest the other day that the NBA do like MLB. You either go right out of HS, or after your Jr. year if you opt for college. Works for baseball.

i can see both sides.. making the best players go to college would make college basketball better. And by giving these players mandatory college experience would ultimately make them more prepared for the nba and make the nba better. But at the same time i dont think you should be able to tell anybody that they HAVE to go to college if they don't want to, even if going to school is the right thing to do. Let these kids make their own mistakes if they want to. Thats the beauty of America, right?

They are technically "adults" and should be able to attempt to jump to the NBA whenever they feel that they are ready. They should be allowed to go straight out of high school. The world does not revolve around the NCAA, which they like to assume.

It's a stupid rule in baseball and would be even stupider if applied to basketball.

The one and done gives them a chance to make sure they are going to get drafted but I hate the rule. The announcers spend the entire game talking about the player going pro next year.

Here's what I would like to see...

-If a kid wants to go to the NBA out of high school, let him. However, if a kid chooses to go to college, he must stay for at least 2 years.

It works for baseball because there is a minor league system that those kids spend 3-4 years in. I have heard several NBA people say they want the rule changed to make kids stay 3 years minimum. Too many young players have gone to the NBA and are seriously lacking in basic fundamentals but get by on athleticism. NBA coaches do NOT want to teach the basics. That should be done by people at the college level. I hate this stupid rule, it has seriously hurt the excitement of the college game by reducing star power. Don't compare MLB to the NBA. That is a stupid argument. The NBA has no 4 tier level of advancement that is comparable.

I'm ok with one year of college ball. To force more years would be crazy.

Could you imagine making Lebron James play 2 or more years of college ball. It would be complete domination.

Same with Kentucky this year. If Wall, Cousins, and Beldsoe all return it would be ugly for everyone else.

This hurts the college game IMO, but helps the NBA, at least these kids get to have at least one year of solid coaching and playing against good competition.

Very few kids are ready physically and mentally, even Kobe needed a few years of being a role player before he was ready to show out.

Guys like LeBron are the exception and not the rule.

Depends on how you look at it. Many different ways;

1) kid growing up in tough times, trying to provide.
2) kid growing up with everything handed to him.
3) program struggling, looking for a savioir.
4) program at the top, looking to stay that way.

Take just these 4 ways and you can come up with 80 different arguements on the "one and dones".

At the end of the day, the NBA is a job. If anyone of us were majoring in anything,(let's say Accounting) and H&R Block offered us 6 figures to come on before we graduated.... I'm willing to bet 100% of the readers on here would take it.

These young men have to or will have to proivde soon for their families. This is their dream. Just like we have dreams.....


Just saying.

Kobe made a bunch of money during his apprenticeship. That's much better than playing for free in front of people who only care what you can do for Good Ole State U.

Young players get more, and generally much better, coaching in a week in the NBA than they get in a year of college basketball.

i heard that calapari has already told that he was going to star all over and he is wanting wall,cousins,patterson,bledsoe,and the reset of them to turn pro if they can ,everyone on the team to leave which is hard to believe but that was told to me by a good source on wildcats ,if every player was told to leave that would look bad on future recruiting any player who wants to go to ky unless they are automatic starters and pro potential the bench players would just loose their elgibilty

I agree with the above. Go straight from high school or most stay 2 or 3 years in college. If gone after 2 years donate money for 2 years of scholarship to the appropriate college.

The school gets plenty money out of them while they are there.

That maybe true, but putting an 18 year old kid in a locker room full of men with millions of dollars in his pocket is not good for his development as a player or a person.
