G-League to NCAA

[navery12]

It appears there are no rules anymore, door is wide open now I guess

 

[CardiacAndre7]

So stupid

 

[Coach J]

Wow!😯

 

[HooperScooper]

It appears there are no rules anymore, door is wide open now I guess

So does this mean we can recruit an NBA player if there’s a need and a match?

How does this make any sense?

Once they started letting euro pros play, they pretty much had to do this.

The main eligibility hurdle now is your clock, not being a pro.

I remember when people were worried G League would negatively impact college basketball by taking away top talent…that really never manifested and now it’s college bball that is taking away talent from the G League…yes it’s weird and the times are changing but it also shows that the college bball “product” is probably stronger than ever and that the passion by dedicated fans is still very high (fans literally buying in).

I’d imagine this kid was on the g league ignite which is the nba got rid of. Now the high school to g league route is closed so I’d consider this more the exception than the rule.

We're going to see former NBA players dropping down to college.

He played for the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League last season.

Who among us isn’t excited to watch a 50 year old LeBron play for Ohio State.

 

[upstater]

Andre Jackson has some eligibility left.

Yeah if they can let the euros play I don’t see why they can’t do it for G Leaguers.

Kind of wild to think LeBron has four years of eligibility plus a Covid year. Think he fits nicely in Hurley’s system.

So you should be able to enter the draft and then go back to college if you don't like where you were picked. Why make them sit a year? Spite?

G pays crap to all but guys with 2 ways
that’s why so many go to Europe if they can when the NBA dream becomes a reach
College actually pays competitive with the top European league . If they allow why wouldn’t you stay home and make bigger money

The 6-foot-8 guard played last season in the G League as an unaffiliated player with the Delaware Blue Coats and Rip City Remix, averaging 10.9 points and six rebounds on 45% shooting in 29 games.

The influx of young international pro players onto Division I rosters offered precedent for Darlan's eligibility as a domestic-based professional, with the NCAA loosening its previously strict definitions of amateurism in recent years with the advent of name, image and likeness payments. The NCAA's decision to grant Darlan two years of eligibility was based on his age and years removed from high school at the NBA Academy, according to Ramasar.

NCAA grants former G League player eligibility

NCAA ruled that former G League Ignite player Thierry Darlan, 21, is eligible to play Division I basketball at Santa Clara, his agent told ESPN.

The gist is if you played for the old Ignite and never declared, you're good for college. Most of the other guys in the G League have gone through the draft (because over the last few years you'd stay in college for the NIL if you weren't good enough to get drafted) and so are ineligible for college.

Going through the draft is still the big swatter.

For context, he played on the same team last year as Jarron Cumberland

 

[Hey Adrien!]

One solution I've heard that can bring some clarity to this:

Once someone graduates high school, they have a five-year span of eligibility to play college basketball. No NBA experience allowed, but everything else if fair game. No redshirts. No hardship waivers. Just five years to play as much college basketball as possible.

At this point, I really don't care. It's all a joke and whoever can tell the best joke wins.

Even less rules in DIII apparently.
