There’s jokes about Kentucky being home of the one and done. Last year they set a record with having seven players declare for the NBA draft. This year coach John Calipari went even further and says that all eligible players will declare for NBA draft, even the walk-ons!
via ESPN:
Calipari posted tweets Wednesday saying Kentucky players of age will declare for the draft, though all might not attend the NBA’s invitation-only combine.
Under new NCAA rules, players declaring for the draft can return to school if they don’t sign with an agent, have up to 10 days after the pre-draft combine to withdraw from consideration and can try out with an NBA team.
Calipari explained why he’s letting every eligible player submit their name and it makes sense. The NCAA finally made a rule change that benefits the student athletes.
