Lowest number of Draft entrants since 2015

This is an interesting stat, and follow up tweet by Medcalf at ESPN on why NIL is beneficial to everyone involved.

There were only 53 early enrollees from college last year who remained in the draft. I wonder if that number will stay about the same.

If all the dudes who left us early only to be drafted in the 2nd round (or undrafted) could have stayed for pay, we would have had some nice rosters. Add Dakari to 2016, or Doron Lamb to 2013, or Meeks to 2010...

This is great. We just need to be able to reduce the turnover at colleges.

This is one of the positives of NIL. Kids not going pro and not being drafted, causing seriously issues financially. Allowing them to develop more and earn enough money to potentially be life changing.

We just need to regulate it.

I'm a proponent of one free transfer and then either sitting out a year or some NIL handicap for a year if a player transfers again. Of course, athletes could still transfer freely if the coach changes.

This would all need to be collectively bargained, but I think it would be a solid start.

But, but, but. The bad guys break into my house and make me click on the links about players entering the portal and NIL deals. And that makes my delicate booboo all red.

I agree as that seems like a good middle ground.

Should enhance the value of a staff that can develop players, which I believe Pope and his guys can do

NIL.

Among the 106 early entrants are Oweh and Lowe.

I didn't realize Lowe had submitted his name.

As unlikely as it is that either he or Oweh get feedback that encourages them to stay in the draft, this explains (at least in part) why Pope and Co. have still been making at least initial contact with guards in the portal.

In the crazy chance that either of them stay in the portal, they at least wouldn't be starting from ground zero with potential replacements.
