New NBA Age Limit - min 2 yrs
News Observer
Quote:
SAN ANTONIO ? NCAA president Myles Brand and NBA commissioner David Stern are holding a press conference here on Monday and are expected to announce a change in the NBA's draft eligibility policy.
Brand hinted Thursday the NCAA and NBA had worked out a deal to create a 20-year-old age limit, which would keep the best players in college for a minimum of two years.
The NBA adopted a 19-year-old age limit in its collective bargaining agreement with the players' association in 2006, which prevented high school players from jumping directly to the NBA.

Looks like that insider over at scout knew what he was talking about  Oh if only this had happened sooner 
The NBA CBA expires in after the 2010-11 season, so perhaps Deshaun will be here longer than expected.

Hunter as a sub, Lighty & Twigs as energy guys, Turner a utility man. Wallace able to redshirt. Much less pressure on Diebler to perform.
Oh to dream...

Dang it!
I wanted it to be a 2 year minimum when they first changed it. The one year was pretty stupid, IMO.
But, yes, we can only dream about what might have been if the 06 class had to stay 2 years.

I was just dreaming about that yesterday..
I love this. I'm a big fan of college sports, and this definitely helps improve college basketball. It's good for athletes as well, whether they realize it or not.  |

This is great news. I haven't been nearly as passionate about college basketball since Kevin Garnett in '95 when it seemed most of the best kids turned pro. The one and done policy was possibly more frustrating because it seemed like a big tease to me. Don't get me wrong, last season was magical, but didn't anybody else feel a little flat when Greg, Mike and Daquan decalared? I certainly did.
