[QUOTE="Captain Bubbles, post: 1210303, member: 522476"] I just want to say something regarding this (guess it's suited for this thread). I can't imagine being in a D1 coach's mindset when a player of his declares to try out for the NBA Draft Combine without hiring an agent. Some will hire one like Poetl did yesterday (and I think he has a legit shot at the NBA), and some will not. I'm not fond of this rule. It's really a hassle for those on scholarships. For a coach like Indiana's Tom Crean and Troy Williams to try out the Combine waters...I can't imagine what is going through Crean's mind now. Maybe Williams shows promise and could get drafted, maybe not. It's like a chess game. Amazing how this rule is causing so many headaches among college coaches. Not knowing if one of their players will be back or not. It's unreal. I follow Jon Rothstein on Twitter and he's been echoing the negatives of it. [/QUOTE]
