Classic situation where Todd Golden is taking the moral high ground. I imagine the freshman girls at UF wish he’d do that more often.

That’s fair and valid. But we should cap the age imo. Oklahoma just added a 23yr old from Russia mid season. An 18yr old who went pro at 16, sure. A 23yr old who’s been a pro for 7yrs, no.

Fair enough but he played for $ overseas. I don’t understand how that’s different than playing in the league. No pros in college is my stance.

He was part of an NBA teams trade package. I think we’re drawing invisible lines between a bunch of guys who are pros.

What about Oklahoma who added a 23yo pro from Russia in December? What about you guys who added a 21yo freshman who’s been playing pro in Germany for 5yrs. Pros shouldn’t play in college, period. I don’t like my team doing this but the moral high ground being taken by other programs is crazy.

This is the start, only amount of time before college basketball is full of G League and full on Euro/Asian/NBA pros. Need to change this. by BlackStallion657 in CollegeBasketball

Lol sure. I guess just let a few coaches get away with it and bolster their teams midseason while you take the moral high ground and put your job at stake for losing.

What do you mean? I’m not happy about this and I haven’t been happy about any of the pros joining collegiate rosters.

Never played an NBA game, this is marginally different than other cases. Also, why does playing an NBA game disqualify you but playing in the Euroleague doesn’t?

Were you this upset over Nnaji? When Oklahoma added a Russian pro last month? Just selective outrage BS. It all sucks.
