I really hope they get rid of the “one and done”. It would benefit everyone involved. If a dude is good enough, let him play in the NBA after High School. College fans can know their team better as well. The 3 year model the NFL does is perfect imo.

Since they don't accept any players less than 3 years removed from HS, let alone straight out of it. With the relative non-existence of foreign leagues, the only viable path to the NFL is to spend 3+ years in CFB,

In basketball, if the rule was either 3 years in college or straight to the pros, why would any high level prospect go to school? The number of HS seniors who think they will be one and dones is a lot higher than those that actually go that route. That's ignoring those who might see themselves as two and dones. The G-league or foreign leagues look an awful lot better when the alternative is waiting 3 years to draw a paycheck.

He would mostly hang around underneath the basket and only shoot 3s when he would get the random opportunity to at Texas. This year's Michigan team would've been scary with Bamba at back up center and Beiliein definitely would've done more with him then just made him a lob target

Sorry guys but if Bamba was on this year's team we would have played Wagner at the 4.  Wagner could do it on offense easily.  Defense would be a little bit awkward but not much more than playing Duncan as a 4 on defense in the post.  And you would substantially improve the overall defense by inserting Bamba instead of Duncan/Livers.

I think he's right, Bamba on this year's team would have been great.
