Well that headline was scary. Need to go back to the 3 stars headline to let us know we're about to hear good news.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Omg...that was a scary read. Lol.

 

[RutHut_rivals]

I imagine kids with potential get offers like this now more than we know. One thing I think is pretty obvious, we will see more kids opting for professional development and skipping college.

In terms professional development, do these training operations give players an advantage over college? I'd imagine that one benefit (or drawback depending how you look at it), is a kid doesn't have to focus on school.

Do they get paid? Get better coaching? Better development? Play better competition?

Given that things are up in the air for next year I expect a few players to take the bait.

It'll be nice regularly sending players to the league

I think in the short term that is true and I am fine with the one and does no longer going to college. Right now this program is thought to be a one year experience with the league picking up the tab. After that they go into the draft and sink or swim? Wouldn't a better solution be to just reach an agreement with the players association to allow HS kids back into the draft and then have individual teams pick up the cost of developing their own rather than the league doing it?

Don’t usually go on kids twitters, but love his shot. Hope there are no more speed bumps before he signs.Also, anyone know if the Siamese Cat song is available on a 45? :CHOPounding Nails

Sure seems like's a helluva prospect. Perhaps he'll sneak into the top 50? Tallest guard in his class with a sweet stroke.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if he isn't ranked in the top 50 by February 2021.

Part of training for the next level is competing against the best talent. College hoops has that advantage.

Idk about top 50, lots of prospects out there my guy. I think top 75 is more than reasonable.

I'll settle for top 75. :ThumbsUp

There's not much difference between the 47th-ranked player and the 62nd-ranked player.
