I actually don't have a problem with the 1-year rule. The cream of the crop flows through the factories like Kentucky, but good players who want a degree go elsewhere. Butler was a great example this year. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: duq81 's message, "The "one and done" rule is a bunch of nonsense that benefits the big name schools. If a kid is NBA ready after high school, let him go the NBA Sidney Crosby and Mario were in the NHL at 18, and I heard no complaints. Do it like baseball. If you go to college, you can't come out for 3 years." on Thursday, September 16, 08:03:18pm

What? -- Edrick, Sunday, September 19, 08:45:09am
- Edrick, do you have a problem reading or comprehending what you read? The discussion is about the rule that permits kids to play a year and leave school. I used Butler as an example of a program that gets kids for four years, and is able to build a "program," as opposed to a system like Calipari's, which feeds off kids with NBA talent and dreams. That was the essence of my post. (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, September 19, 09:28:46am
