Hopefully, they'll all be a little more "dependable" although the rule might be changed by the time they're in the mix and they'll have to decide pro or school and not have the option to bail if they choose school. I hope so anyways, I hate that one and done crap. We'll be lucky to have three recognizable faces at the start of next year.

I dunno, that scalper stuff has always scared my little sissy butt to the point that I've never tried it. I'm afraid I'd end up spending $500 only to be turned away at the gate! I know Augusta National has instituted a bunch of new rules this year and come up with ways to detect third party tickets and say they will not honor them. And sellers that can be identified will be banned for life. I don't know that it will make a huge difference but it just adds to my fear factor!

The one and done rule has killed NCAAB IMO. Need to go back to make kids either choose the NBA straight out of high school or go to school but gotta stay a minimum of 2 years. The quality of play hasn't been nearly as good since the change. Also, as you mention, kinda hard to have emotional attachment to teams when there is no "core" that sticks around for 2-4 years. When faces change like a revolving door it's just not as endearing to the hometown fans. I hate that. grizwilson 1

Although it doesn't seem to bother the millions and millions of people that still pay out the gazzoo to watch and support 'em. It won't happen but I still wish the rule would be a three year commitment just like football and baseball. If they can do it why not basketball? If the boys want to go pro out of high school let 'em. For the ones who make the wrong decision and fail, I doubt it will be last mistake they ever make in life. Kinda like the rest of us..... abkeenan 1 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." George Carlin "The only money ever wasted is money never spent." Me.

Finding myself agreeing with a Jayhawker all to often here lately. Maybe I am getting soft?
