[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1392267, member: 588522"] The overall best practice is to do everything to better these kids. Let them get advice/combine workouts/etc. in high school, let them enter the draft, if they get signed, no more college eligibility. If they dont, let them go to school or choose to go overseas/G league. Once you sign a pro contract, its over, but short of that, they should be able to do whatever they want. Obviously, getting at least some college work will pull some kids in, though admittedly this is a small pool. This, of course, is detremental to college basketball overall. Talent pool shrinks, and chaos increases heavily in the offseason. Coaches will have to work exponentially harder to get and retain talent, at least at the highest level. Being completely honest, this might make CBB more exciting, as this favors teams like Loyola/ISU that will almost never have multiple guys who will never sniff third tier Euro leagues. It should make competition more even as teams like Duke will have constant flux and mid/low majors should be full of experienced "system" guys. [/QUOTE]
