This could be the newest problem that college coaches have to deal with. High School players going to play in Europe where they are eligible to play. Brandon Jennings is the first to cross seas in this controversy.

Jennings wants absolutely nothing to do with the NCAA and the NBA. The NBA prohibits players from entering the draft until they are a year out of High School, and Jennings doesn’t want to wait. Can he do it though? He apparently is in between going to Arizona to replace Jerryd Bayless, or packing his bags and becoming a modern day pioneer.

It’ll be a good thing for the kids, and a bad thing for college coaches.

This is just what the hypocritical basketball hierarchy needs. Some one to step up and make a move so obscure and profound that it addresses the situation in the right way. If this goes through I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this starts a new trend for the next couple of years until the NBA sorts this out.

Jennings is the perfect kid to do it also. He is out there to say the least and definetley sticks out in a crowd. His coach doesn’t seem to be surprised at this move at all.

If people tell him it’s the wrong thing to do, he doesn’t necessarily think he’s wrong.

If you have the opportunity to make millions of dollars or go to college, why on earth would you pick the latter. There is no point whatsoever. Who is the NBA and NCAA to say what you can or cannot do with your career. If the opportunity is there, allow these athletes to do what they want, quit treating them like kids.
