G League adding two top HS recruits

Interesting

Well so much for that

 

I guess the question was did they go to him or did he go to them? Seems feasible he saw other guys do it and said sign me up.

 

there are so many questions about even returning students to campuses at all, much less a college basketball season actually happening. i don't necessarily agree that they targeted this athelete, but was more likely a financial decision on Nix's advisors part facing the uncertainty surrounding college hoops and access to training facilities as part of the of the NCAA's policy.

 

If this keeps up, the NCAA might actually have to pay athletes just to get them.

 

I think the fact that they are going to pay for college for these kids is amazing. Big picture wise, that is huge for them to fall back on when basketball is all done.

 

maybe NCAA getting the message. allowing for student athletes to profit from certain activities.

 

Yeah the NCAA isn't fair, they prevent young adults from working and don't pay them.

I agree the G League paying for college fixes the issue of athletes not receiving a free education. A player who ended up not making it professionally at 25 will be a much better student than a 19 year old that thinks he may become a multi millionaire athlete.

 

any mention which program he had been planning to attend?
edit: never mind. i see was uncommitted but kentucky was strong consideration as well as both georgia schools.

 

So, they don't have to go through the draft in subsequent years? If they don't, it's a big win for Big Market Teams.

 

They still have to enter the draft.
