but i don't think he hires an agent. june 14 (or somewhere around then) is the last day to withdraw. since he's a senior next year, it really doesn't hurt to do some workouts and learn what the big boys think about you. you have to pay for your own workouts, but that's about the only downfall.</p>

went this year mid 2nd round at best. He will be back mark it down. I don't think it would hurt him to declare without an agent just to see what he needs to improve on.

don't just make everyone eligible (that qualifies) so we don't have to go through this charade every year? Isn't that what baseball does...Didn't Easley write to take his name out of the draft?

because you don't know who will actually sign and who will shun you. the system protects the teams - keeps them from going a whole draft with no draftee actually signing. since the NFL and NBA lack highly developed farm systems like MLB, that sort of result could be disastrous. plus, it keeps you from having to have 30 rounds in your draft.

<font class="body">High school baseball players can be drafted by a major-league team, but once a baseball player goes to college, he isn't eligible for the MLB draft until after his third year (the exception: if he goes to community college or junior college, he's eligible again the next year).</font></p>

<font class="body">In the NFL, a player is eligible for the NFL draft only if it's been three years since his high school graduation (it doesn't matter if he attends college all three years).
</font></p><font class="body">Rather than establish an age limit, once a college basketball player steps on campus, he can't leave until after his third year. This would be a great solution to a major dilemma that would bring stability to college basketball and the NBA.

sure, you'd be sure that any player would be on campus for 3 years. unless he has an unbelievable first year. then he transfers to a juco so that he can go pro after year 2. more players would be going juco or euro, since they don't want to be stuck for 3 years.

the system in place now is probably a best case scenario for college basketball. in the grand scheme of things, you're only talking about a very small percentage of players who can go pro after one year or even two. i wouldn't want to create a new rule that could alienate (and scare off) your biggest potential cash cows. the top 20 players (or more) each year would probably go juco or elsewhere, hoping to get to the league in 1 or 2 years.

if i'm college basketball, i don't want to do anything that makes me more like college baseball.</p>
