Hey griz fans! In English I had to write a paper on a debatable topic, and the topic I chose was the one and done rule and was wondering if I could get some of your guys opinions on it! Thanks
Mavman said:I would like to see a rule that says you have to play 3 years before going pro.
I would also let kids who want to skip college go to the G-league where they have a 2 year window to get
picked up by NBA team. If they don't they can try over seas ( there must be a risk factor for not going to school).
One and dones have changed the landscape of Hoops drastically. A few mid major schools are combating this by going hard after transfers from major schools. Nevada's starting five were all transfers.
Recruiting players and developing players is almost a thing of the past. Coaches in most major and some mid-major programs no longer have to develop talent over a three-four year period, they look for transfers or recruit a few one and done kids each year. ( I would love to see the numbers for kids who have stayed all four years at a school 15yrs ago compared to the last couple years)
I do think the one and done rule has allowed mid major teams to be more competitive in the last 5 or so years. Taking a team of all american freshman vs a seasoned team of jr and sr who have played together a couple years can lead to upsets.
I love this subject thanks for starting this post.
I will be back with more thoughts later.
