Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
I like the change...especially that once a player enters his name into the draft that he can't return to school.
Why does the kid need 3 months to decide if he's going to enter his name or not? And then this not hiring an agent non-sense, good to see it go. Schools are put into binds as they try to decide whether or not they need to replace a player or not. You're either in or your out.
I applaud the rule changes.Last edited by countryboy; 04-22-2009, 09:15 AM.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

I realize that the rule change is better for the schools, but it obviously doesn't appear to work out for the athletes, in more ways than one. Not that they should be able to take a school hostage, but their well-being and future should be the primary concern of the NCAA, IMO.
Just a thought.Comment

Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
I'm against them. This is another case of the multi-billion dollar, no-profit NCAA protecting its own interests instead of giving the student the best opportunity to make the best decision. The reason they were lobbying for the NBA to get rid of the one-n-done was to keep kids from making a hasty decision. Now they wil be forced to make another rushed one.Originally posted by VP Richard M.

Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
On the flip side, what about the kids who declare, go to the draft camps to have their stock evaluated, and then come back? It would seem like this rule change prevents that; at the very least, it certainly inhibits it.

But in my opinion, something had to be done. It was becoming a 3 ring circus. Look at the Randolph Morris situation. As I said, schools were put between a rock and a hard place as their future depends on who a kid is listening to.
I honestly wish they would just make it so that a player has to have completed his Sophomore year in college before he could declare. Something has to be done to protect the collegiate game. Its work well for college football(although its junior status for them or 3 years removed from HS), so why can't they do that basketball?I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

There, in my opinon, lies the problem. All these "experts" feeding these kids all this BS information.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
you're never going to end the hasty decison of a kid. Never. Even if they adopt the college football draft eligibilty rule, you're never going to stop a kid from making a "hasty/uninformed" decision because there are far too many people in their ears.

Instead of taking an option away from the players, why not extend the late signing period?Originally posted by VP Richard M. NixonI always remember that whatever I have done in the past, or may do in the future, Duke University is responsible one way or the other.

Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
And there are some players who do wait to get informed info. Now that option has been taken away. Now they do have to depend more on pundits & hanger's on instead of scouts. They have no choice. Its now a guess not a plan.
Instead of taking an option away from the players, why not extend the late signing period?
And so you extend the late signing period, that may help, but still, if a kid decides in June that he's not returning, then you have from June until what, August? to find a replacement player, in order to get him onto campus in time to enroll in classes?
Its a bad situation all the way around the way the whole process is/was setup. I still think they should adopt the rule where a player must be 2 years removed from High School before he opts to declare. But that will most likely never happen.I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

Re: Changes in the period for players to come out of the draft
I understand that, but 3 months? do they really need that long after the season(providing they play in the Final Four) to get all the info they need to make an informed decision?

And yes, it takes 3 months. How much do they change mock drafts in 3 months time? NBA also wants to make an informed decision. They bring in players over those months & work them out & compare. All while half the teams are still in the playoffs. That takes time. W/all the variables that included early entries, European players, good & bad workouts, do we really think these kids can ascertain their status in 45 days? When they are in college, they don't have staff & connections to figure these things out.
Now all of that is taken away.
I can see why Roy Williams pushed for this. Its given him a tremendous advantage. 99% of the other schools don't have the experience in early entries like UNC has. W/their history kids will know he has better access to info. For nearly everyone else this going to be a problem in the long run. They are going to lose players more quickly & those players aren't going to have the option to get back.
Push the start of the late signing period back.Originally posted by VP Richard M. NixonI always remember that whatever I have done in the past, or may do in the future, Duke University is responsible one way or the other.
