[SBR Tony]

Steve Kerr says Yes

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Monday said players who leave college early for the NBA draft but go unpicked should be allowed by the NCAA to return to school.

I think the answer is yes but maybe pride is a factor with the NCAA basically saying "You thought you were so good to leave us so tough luck now".

[b1slickguy]

Only if it's on their own dime.
No scholarships or financial aid.

[tony_come]

2-3yrs in college or go play in the G league

[MMANick]

I think so. They should be paid already as well.

[magaman]

The only reason the NCAA has that rule is a pure bully tactic. NCAA is so freaking corrupt

It's the whole amateur status and agent thing as well.

[jjgold]

YES

[reigle9]

logistically impossible

95% of players would declare, would make it impossible to manage a roster

nice idea in imaginationland, though

[funnyb25]

Absolutely

[BuckyOne]

Yes, as long as they have not retained an agent. I also like the idea of a combine. Invitation and expenses paid and that not be in violoation of the NCAA. The coach can even attend - maybe learn something from the other coaches and players there. Maybe, even have classes there on how to avoid the black plague of agents. How to identify them and how to report them and how to stay away from them.

Agents are the Scum of the earth! Should not be allowed at the combine!

If they went to Arizona, they were already paid

[Snowball]

big move by Silver to scoop up high school talent
bypassing college - straight to the G-League. (with pay)
Could be massive and have huge negative impact on quality of NCAAB.

[jjgold]

The NBA is promoting blacks not to go to college that’s really a great idea for a race that is not educated as it is and going backwards . Majority of these players end up in prison, on drugs and busted out on the streets after basketball because they have no education

Way to go Silver

Oh, it's not just Arizona.

Yeah, that one semester of academics when they're taking all gym classes and electives is really helping them get educated

[Snowball]

Silver won't even wait for them to graduate high school.

Fukk no
Do you get to leave your current employer , go work for a new one then decide to go back to the current one after a week or so ? No , their job is to find someone to fill your dumbass spot .
Add on agents will blackmail them by money given to them

[DOM_Toretto]

Why not??

more work for nba scouts, but who cares

[DOM_Toretto]

But if you went on a job interview and didn’t get the job, your current employer would probably not even know and you’d probably keep working there...

[Slipknot26]

Agents will lock them in, get money upfront , then they'll blackmail the piss out of said player on his next try when their first attempt fails .
Everyone can then do it , then app 2000 players "decide to return".
It's simple , just like NCAAF , get told where the potential for draft is , if not first round , nobody misses a beat , most return .
Move on

[RangeFinder]

No. Tell those cry babies to get a real job if they can't get drafted.

[Hman]

LoL some great replies in here.

[jjgold]

3 years college or go right from HS and be a bum in 3 years

Since when is NCAA an employer? They don't even pay slave wages.

If anything, wouldn't this be more like interviewing for a new job, not getting the job and keeping the current job?

[xKMACKx]

I think so. They should be paid already as well.

Whatever they ask for they can get, at least at the major programs. As someone who was around the Oklahoma program they weren't hurting, let's put it that way.

^^^This. Plus, when has Kerr ever had a sane thought.

[krk1030]

They are allowed to return to school....just cant play anymore.

[smittyallsports]

not under scholarship though..

[19th Hole]

JJ...Where did you get your Ph.D??

[jjgold]

I am very educated men it is all you need to know.

[eidolon]

Seems like Silver is trying to be FIFA. Scout 12 year old kids and throw money at them.

[jjgold]

A liberal disaster

Lol pushing black kids not to go to school


Then they wonder why it’s a white man’s world
