NCAA announces CBB rule changes: HS players can hire agents/Undrafted players can return

quote:
College basketball players who request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, participate in the NBA combine and aren’t drafted can return to school as long as they notify their athletics director of their intent by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft. This change is effective if/when the NBA and NBPA make an expected rule change, which would make undrafted student-athletes who return to college after the draft ineligible for the NBA until the end of the next college basketball season.
quote:
College basketball players can be represented by an agent beginning after any basketball season if they request an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee. This rule change is effective immediately.
quote:
Pending a decision by the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association, high school basketball players can be represented by an agent beginning July 1 before their senior year in high school, provided they have been identified as an elite senior prospect by USA Basketball.
The effective date will be decided if/when the NBA and the NBPA permit high school students to enter the draft.
quote:
Agents can pay for meals and transportation for players and their families if the expenses are related to the agent selection process. Also, the student cannot miss class, and the money must be spent where the student lives or attends school. Additionally, high school and college student-athletes and their families can have meals, transportation and lodging paid for by an agent if those expenses are associated with meetings with the agent or a pro team. These changes are subject to revisions to the Uniform Athlete Agents Act, Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act and relevant state laws. If/when those are changed, the new rules are effective immediately.
quote:
All agreements between agents and high school or college student-athletes must be: In writing. Terminated when the student enrolls in or returns to college. Disclosed to the NCAA (for high school students) or the school (for students already in college). This change is effective immediately.
quote:
Basketball student-athletes can make more frequent campus visits paid for by colleges (referred to as official visits), which can begin as soon as Aug. 1 the summer before their junior year in high school. They can take:
Five visits between Aug. 1 and the end of their junior year of high school.
Five visits between the end of their junior year and Oct. 15 after high school graduation.
Five visits between Oct. 15 after high school graduation and the remainder of their college eligibility.
A student-athlete can visit a school only once per year.

What is the point of hiring an agent if they can’t go pro until after their freshman year?

This rule is likely changing very soon as well.

So now everyone will declare and see what happens. I like this

I like the changes. Well done NCAA

They are panicking getting ready for HS players to be able to go straight to the NBA. This is a brilliant change though

Sounds a little closer to how baseball works doesn't it? Obviously a little different but similar principle.
I like it.

It's a little of the baseball and the hockey model. Baseball needs to adopt the hockey aspect of being able to have an agent and not an "advisor".
Overall, I think these are good changes that will strengthen the college game. Strengthening the college game helps with delivering pre-made stars to the NBA.

It will be interesting to see how it affects recruiting. Essentially every HS top prospect is going to declare for the draft, but only a fraction will actually be picked. I'm guessing coaches will have to hold spots and wait for the draft like baseball coaches.
Maybe it was mentioned, but what if a guy declares and is taken in the second round? Can he choose to go/return to college?
Roster management will be interesting, because coaches are going to have to wait until then end of June to figure out who is going to be on their team in the fall. To a lesser degree, I guess HC's will have to take the baseball approach of getting commitments from top players and waiting to see how the draft shakes out
Is there a limit on how many times a college player can enter the draft, then come back to school? Conceivably all the top players would enter the draft every year only to see what happens. In baseball you are eligible right out of HS and then not again until 2-3 years later.

Will programs hold a scholly in case a player isn't drafted ?

Holy shite, common sense by the ncaa

Probably depends on the program.
I like this. It allows players to return if they don't get drafted and the team wants them back. I don't see how that's a negative.
If the team doesn't want them, all scholarships can be voided at that point anyways. Any player with a half decent relationship with his coach should know what his situation is.
This is a good move.

The NBA will have to extend their draft if that's the case.

So the NCAA gives USAB the responsibility of selecting the “high level” players without even getting the ok from them? Typical.
