It matters. You might be a fan but you are not a Cane then. It’s all about The U, not some about it.

Quality of play has gone up because the evaluation process is more efficient. That's the reason we have the one-and-done rule-- to help evaluators.

It's hard to accurately pick high school players. It's easier when you have a year of college evaluation. The more efficient the evaluation process, the less busts you have on the floor. Early 2000s basketball was littered overmatched high school players fumbling around the court. They had to play early because they were picked too high.

Now, the draft is better, the skill level is better and the league is better. The rule worked.

I don't really care about fairness. It's unfair that LeBron James was born with his genes. For every high school player who gets into the league early, a fringe player is pushed out. It's a zero sum game.

All I care about is the talent level. The one-and-done rule has greatly improved the talent level, which was the point.

There’s a million reasons why evaluations are better though. AAU is better. EYBL leagues have changed that process substantially for elite guys. Scouting is better. The analytics revolution. Basketball is just in a much better place overall. It’s not about the 1 and done rule being removed solely. The last 1 and done class produced a bunch of guys who had long NBA careers.

The whole thing is bad. The NBA gets worse and college basketball gets worse. Terrible result.

And for every high school kid that gets to feed his family, an older player is pushed out the door. So that’s not even a silver lining.

And kids get their money quicker and get to the 2nd contracts quicker. That’s how a free market works. Let the teams decide if they value the young guy more than the vet.

One night back in the early 70’s all six of us remaining Cane fans, stayed late after a football game and voted on it. Actually, the Second Law Of Canes states: “It’s a Cane thing, and you wouldn’t understand.”

It goes like this: We hold these truths to be self evident:

First Law, It’s all about The U!

Second Law, It’s a Cane thing and you wouldn't understand.

Third Law, It’s only happening at The U.

We are very tolerate so you can be a fan until you learn the error of your ways and abandon all else. Then and only then can you be Cane.
