I think everyone including the NCH janitor saw this coming...but you're right...hopefully he can keep himself playing at a high level for the next year so he can either enter the draft or at least get an opportunity to play some college ball.

He'll just bypass college and head straight to the NBA.

Agree. This kid has a case to challenge the rule whatever it is. He would effectively be asked to sit two years. I am sure there are a dozen agents/attorneys looking into it as we speak. |

Supposedly, he'll clearly be of age (19) for the 2007 NBA draft.

Anyone know the exact wording of the new rule? Would Walker be better off to quit school now and be 'one year removed from HS' next year?

It mentions being 19 and your class being one year removed from gradation. I guess it would just come down to the question of which class is his technical graduating class 2006 or 2007. |

Walker played a year as a ninth-grader at Rose Hill Christian in Ashland, Ky., before enrolling at North College Hill as an eighth-grader in February 2003, the association said.

Doesn't anyone else think this sounds odd? |
