Just seems weird that these analysts (Bilas and Fran for example) are now blasting how great this is to clean up the game that they love cause it's been going on for too long in their eyes. If you didn't speak up for all these years and had inside knowledge then sit down and shut up.

EVERYONE knew it was going on, and people have been talking around the edges about it for years. In the position they're in, unless they have concrete evidence that catches the culprits in the cookie jar, what are they supposed to say? That's where slander and defamation lawsuits come in.

I'm guessing the NBA draft is going to start taking high schoolers again.

Not likely. The prohibition against high school grads entering the draft is embedded in the CBA. It was just renewed this year and runs through the 2023-24 season. It is my guess we will see a few more recruits opt for the Euro leagues, or continue the one and done game we now "enjoy."

The NCAA could end the one and done by treating their athletes as contract employees. That isn't likely to happen, so my prediction is that nothing will change.

NCAA and NBA should just shift to the Baseball model and all this would not be an issue or at least a smaller issue. To the few guys that are really good enough to jump straight from High School, let them. Everyone else has to go three years to be eligible for the draft though.

The NCAA and NBA don't work together on this stuff. There's no monetary incentive for the NBA to do anything.

the reasonably new NBA commish has been pretty active talking about his displeasure with the one and done system. He is talking about allowing a kid to go direct from HS or wait 2 years (modified baseball rule). They also are beefing up the NBDL so kids that come out early and don't make rosters have a place to go. I expect within a couple of years you will see HS kids being drafted again.

For all its issues I think folks are going to wish the one and done was still around when the NBA gets done with what they are doing.

Holy crap. The whole AAU system could come crumbling down. Let's be real...AAU is just circuit to get BBall players ingratiated to the big shoe companies.

Man, high school bball coaches will actually have to deal with recruiting now. Imagine that...

AAU + Shoe compapanies = Corruption

Yeah, I could see it moreso being a straight-to-Gleague thing thereby cutting the NCAA out entirely. That way the Gleague becomes more of a viable/watchable product.
