Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 3521078, member: 2524"] The big risk isn't 10 $1m spots, it's 200 $50k spots. If the top 200 high school players skip college to start in the pros every year -- and why wouldn't they if they get year-round professional coaching from NBA staffs? -- then the quality of college ball goes way down. I doubt even Jim Calhoun could generate a lot of fan excitement with a starting 5 of Craig Austrie, Terence Samuel, Brendan Adams, Charles Okwandu, Tyler Olander. Most of whom were top 200 recruits. That's what the best college teams might start looking like. [/QUOTE]
