Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3839997, member: 7511"] Yes, I was aware. This change was the result of a number of high profile players skipping college only to crash and burn in the pros, as well as pro teams not being particularly fond of throwing big money at untested HS kids. I’m sure you’re familiar with the name Sebastian Telfair, who actually hung around the NBA or International ball for 13 seasons, signing with 13 different teams over that period of time. Telfair skipped college, and while he made a few dollars chasing his basketball dream, legal and financial problems eventually derailed his career. He is now appealing a weapons conviction that includes a 3.5 year prison sentence. [/QUOTE]
