Big deal. Anything like this is always gong to benefit teams like Kentucky, but if CCM turns out to be a good/great coach and recruiter that kids want to play for, then it would benefit us as well. If this rule was in place last year, we'd still have Tobias, and likely be a 1 loss team right now.
Marginal improvement of a rule that makes a mockery of the idea of "student athletes".
If these kids are truly good enough to go to the NBA out of high school then let them go. Otherwise, basketball needs the same rule in place for college baseball. Once you enroll you are there at least until the end of your Junior season in school.
I believe that is actually one of the focal points of the deal. If you want to declare, you can go straight to the draft. If not, it's a 2 year stay.

I have to agree with this. I absolutely hate the One and Done Rule and I don't want anymore one and dones at Tennessee. If your good enough to go to the Pros out of HS, then go, otherwise go to college and grow up. I also think that the NBA should have a program for those young men that go to the Pros out of HS with basic money management courses, Public Speaking and such.

This wouldn't benefit UK, it would benefit other programs, those guys wouldn't sit behind the Soph. stars UK has. Regardless, this isn't happening.

I must have missed that part. That would cut down on some of Kentucky's 5* recruits then. Some of the guys they recruit are only going there for a year because they can't go pro. Would make it less dramatic than I was making it out to be. The thought of Kentucky getting four 5* players for a second season and adding four more 5*'s was mind blowing.
They go to Kentucky because Calipari can coach them into lottery picks in the span of a season. I'd gladly come off the bench my first season and start the second season if I were guaranteed to be a lottery pick.
