probably because they know that the players association will never go for it. Also I think if we had that rule that we would see a lot more guys than we do now make huge mistakes and go straight out of high school that shouldn't. A lot of kids would not want to go to college for 3 years so they will just go straight from high school and would never be heard from ever again.

So do I and I would love college basketball go to the baseball rule. You go straight to the NBA but f you go to college you have to stay 3 years.

2018-19 FIRST TEAM F: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks F: Paul George, Oklahoma City Thunder 😄 Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets G: James Harden, Houston Rockets G: Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors SECOND TEAM F: Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors F: Kawhi Leonard, Toronto Raptors 😄 Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers G: Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers G: Kyrie Irving, Boston Celtics THIRD TEAM F: Blake Griffin, Detroit Pistons F: LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers 😄 Rudy Gobert, Utah Jazz G: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder G: Kemba Walker, Charlotte Hornets * Official release & voting totals Tis is the list of the all NBA for 2018-2019. I did not take the time to look but a lot of these players were not 5 star recruits.

I would think the players association likes the one and done rule because it allows the older players more roster spots. If the players accept this then they will want something from the NBA so there will be some negotiating.

I agree with you but it is not that easy

because the NBA can't just implement this because it has to be through collective bargaining with the players association.

but it has not produce that many champions lately and I would rather IU go to the UVA and Villanova route of roster management.

I saw a couple of rankings that had him in 80-90 range

Did it say if he is going through the process or leaving for good. Also I thought our UI poster that comes here said that no way Cockburn would leave after this season.

Geronimo

He probably still thinks that Donovan and his wife is in town looking for a house.

Now a days you have no clue who will leave early. I saw that Richmond had 3 guys declare for the NBA

Well now that is another big ten big man out of the way (Oturo, Tillman, Wesson and Smith)

What a surprise but he is predictable.

To me this is kind of funny on the same day that a Duke insider puts a crystal ball prediction for us on Kaufmann is the same day this guy post this tweet.

Yeah you and Fepaugh are never wrong. I bet he is over on rivals talking about Duncomb not being a high enough rated recruit.

Give it a rest, we know you don't like Archie but your statement is ludicrous.

I wouldn't say Geronimo was a lower rated recruit with him being a top 100 player

What new assistant, I don't think anyone left did they?

Great pickup and he looks like your typical UW post player who we always wished had come to IU

Good read and I have had a feeling Jordan will be a very good player earlier than people are thinking.

So do I and just don't understand why coaches today can't see that is a more efficient way to run an offense than the ball screens we see today. Also back then you saw a team come into the front court and start their offense right away. Now we see them just come up and dribble a few seconds or go into the weave for 15 seconds before starting their offense. With this time off these coaches should look at these older games and see how well a lot of these offenses ran compared to wat we see today.

I also think why offenses are not as good now is that the analytics has taken out the mid range game and you no longer see kids shooting a 12-15 foot shot. Those early 90's team had several guys who shot those 15 foot baseline shots at a great percentage.

It is because they all took good shots and did not have t force shots at the end of the shot clock. 45 seconds was a good tie for a shot clock because it still allowed you to work on offence to get a good shot. It also prevented teams from just holding the ball the last 4 minutes of the game. Today at 30 seconds you just don't have time to run an offense where you move the ball and the players moved. You see way to many times where a player has to take a contested shot at the end of the clock that has about no chance to go in.

Another thing that caught my eye watching these older games is how announcers talk about how guys will be coming back the next year. Watching the 81 championship game the other day and Billy Packer without hesitation talked about how 8 of the 10 starters will be back the next year. We are talking about 5 or 6 1st round draft picks on the floor and there was no talk about guys leaving early. Even though IT did leave and Turner had his accident it is just funny how times were so different. Even watching the 92 sweet 16 game against FSU they talked about how every starter in that game would be back the next year which all did. To me this is the biggest difference in basketball then than what it is today. I know people get tired of me saying how much better the game was back then but this is why it was better. I did not say the individual player talent was any better back then but best players stayed and your team could grow over the years. Last night the Assembly Call crew watched the 93 sweet 16 game against UL and then had a show afterwards to discuss the game like they do normally after a game. They kept talking about what kind of leader Calbert was and how he could take a game over which is true. The thing was that he was a great senior player who was so experience to know how to take the game over. Today we see so many players leaving early for the NBA who is not even close to being ready. Vanderbilt has two guys turning pro and they were one of the worst power 5 teams in the country this year. I know it is different and don't blame the palyers in thinking about the NBA but this kind of thinking is what is hurting the college game.
