College teams should be allowed no more than 2 top 30 rated players

[Paesano]

The only legitimate (and enforceable) rule that could be implemented eouldf be (similar to football) having a cap not only in total scholarships but also scholarships per year. If a coach knows he might run out of players if everyone he signs is planning on leaving once their freshman year is over, he'll likely mix in a few multi-year prospects wirh each recruiting class.

What would you set the limit to?

 

[Travelman6]

However, under my suggestion UConn probably would get in. See I'm always looking out for the little guys.

So if 5 final fours and 4 championships and countless Big East regular season and a number of BET and AACT wins is little, I wonder what you actually consider BIG? Maybe just UCLA...and...?

Get back to me when the dwarf leads the Bearcats to the final four just once! Nah, at least 2!

Redistribute the players! It's unfair some schools are better than others!

 

[Fishy]

It makes a ton of sense and levels the playing ground. Whats going on at Kentucky and Duke is not reasonable and doesnt provide a fair playing ground

Define ‘sense’.

 

[Stainmaster]

If we’re redistributing Top 30/50/100 recruits, I would personally like some. Please and thanks.

In 1999 dook has the greatest college basketball team every assembled.

 

[beakumhawks]

What about the short fat kids? They should get a chance to play as well.

 

[UC990411]

This is what UConn fans are now like? No wonder that guy said “goodbye boneyard” the other day......

Life is not fair nor should it be. If a high school basketball player has the talent, he or she should be able to play at any school they are recruited by and would like to play for.

 

[Jaker]

There should be a college draft with the worst college teams based on rankings getting access to the 5 star recruits first.

 

[Ewekon]

Modified version of MLB that I think the NCAA might go along with as well as the league.

Free to declare out of HS and take your chances.

But if don't declare you have to stay in college for 2 years or leave for a non nba/G league team such as Europe until 2 years are complete.

This is America, not commie land.

 

[Durks07]

Let's have mandatory consoling when a team goes up 2o. Game stops and the team up big has to hug everyone on the other team so they know it'll be ok, remind them that the other guys have feelings too.

 

[beakumhawks]

These are some brilliant ideas. I would also suggest that fans in attendance be required to cheer for both teams. I'm sure the visiting team feels bad when the home team does something good and the crowd cheers like crazy. Force them to cheer for the visitors when they do something good.

Taking things a step further, there should be a draft based on SAT scores for kids coming out of High School. Why should MIT get all the top Engineering students? Shouldn't Devry have a chance? It's just not fair, I tell you.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Or we could let HS kids go to the college of their choice. Just a thought.

 

[BlueMAB]

this thread is gold. the OP has to be trolling you guys.

My preference is to require all scholarships to be for four years, and every kid offered a scholarship who attends class deserves a degree - even if a player uses up his eligibility, he can still earn a degreee at no cost, even if it takes five or more years.

 

[beakumhawks]

Tom, I like your idea, but I would change it to five years, with four years of eligibility. I worked with a guy who played football at Nebraska and he said that for most of the guys there was no way in hell they were going to get a degree in four years. The athletic demands were just too great.

In terms of the rankings, the services don't always get it right. Frank Mason was a National Player of the Year by most publications, and his 247 ranking coming out of High School was 118: Frank Mason, Massanutten Military Academy, Point Guard By contrast, Josh Selby was the #1 ranked recruit coming out of High School, and he didn't do squat.

The key is to have a coach that can identify the talent and mold it into something he wants, not to go apepoop over recruiting rankings.

Artificially leveling the playing field is the first step toward a mentality that takes down the scoreboards and awards participation trophies.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

The title of this thread is quite honestly one of, if not, the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

When our own program goes to Spartacus, let's change the rules for everyone else in order to level the playing field for us.

I quite like this idea.

Until we start winning again and get high end recruits then we should probably change it back.

 

[jibsey]

There's no incentive from a tv ratings perspective to try to address this. The networks are quite happy to show Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, MSU, and Kansas' every game. Why would they want things to be more balanced? Let them divide up the top 10-15 players every season for their one and done and then move on.

 

[billybud]

yep....too many top women play at UConn...right?

This idea just is not a good one,,IMHO
