[QUOTE="RIVERCITYCHIEF, post: 1523044, member: 677672"] If my son at 18 or 19 years old was in this position. I would certainly prefer a college over the G league. College baseketball is big business and has professionals to develop players. They likely have bigger budgets than the G league teams do. I feel that for most people that age they still have a lot of growing up to do and being away from home is hard enough for a young person to make the right choices.. I just think the leadership, good coaches, good teammates and a staff can provide has a lot more to develop these teen aged young men in other areas besides just basketball. IT should be a big part of a good coaches plan., The reason so many of these young people fail is because of making the wrong choices an poor leadership and direction. I am not saying that is the case for KW but he certainly wishes he hadnt picked Kentucky and shouldnt have to sit a year. He should have options like coaches do!. Those are just my thoughts and one reason why it ticks me off a kid cant just transfer and not sit but grown coaches can. At 18 or 19 these young men need time to develop and grow on and off the court, and maybe even have a little fun. Most kids arent prepared for the real world at 18 and can use the guidance, commitment, and leadership a good coach and program could provide. Most kids need time to grow after high school on and off the court. KW or any player should be able to transfer now and that is what is sad. These programs shouldnt possess them and restrict them from being able to follow the best path for them personally. It is crap. [/QUOTE]
