Adam Silver changes stance on age-limit rule and that's bad news for college hoops
So if they go back to the rule letting high school kids go directly to the NBA does that help or hurt teams that corner the market on one and dones like Kentucky, Duke, etc.?
I think it levels the playing field some when you take the very top talents out of the college game. But I think we've seen over the past few years how hard it is to win a national championship with very inexperienced teams. The championship is usually won by more experienced teams. Kentucky has had the number 1 rated recruiting class almost every year since Calipari has been there and only won 1 national championship. But it's hard to say his teams haven't had great success overall. Take these no brainer one and dones out of the college game and what happens to Kentucky, Duke, etc.?
