(although it does make it interesting that Duke was also pursuing Wall and Bledsoe and didn't get them and they win it all, but they were involved up until the end, so what's that say?) That Calipari is and always will be a terrible "coach" but a wonderful motivator (in the same way the CIA "motivates" captives to talk). The fact that he had (apparently) FIVE NBA players (a full starting line up essentially) and didnt win a championship just goes to show how terrible a coach he is.

Greg and Wesley J. seem like the only two lottery locks that have yet to decide.

and Ed Davis, but his lottery status is debatable with the injury.

Malcom Lee to return to UCLA. Where was he going? Seriously--I believe some guys base the NBA on how they play in video games.

Its simply become a rite of passage for a lot of these guys. Play a year of hoops in college basketball (against your will of course ), and then declare you're ready for the money..er...I mean pro game. Whether you're good enough to help lead your college team to at least a decent record is not even important.

Be way at this rate the 2011 NBA Draft, from an early view, looks like garbage. Particularly in the lottery.

It would be interesting if someone did an in depth study of average effective team age versus on court success and financial success over the period since the one and done rules have been in place. It seems to me that experience has been a common thread between most of the NCAA champions. please correct me if i am wrong.
Of course it is not the objective of every school to win, but they would me more concerned with revenues. This would require deeper research than i think any of us could do with out significant inside connections.
I think that over time there *should* be fewer and fewer one and dones (at least those that need more time- Kevin Durant was ready to go as was Oden, even if his knees werent, but i cant say orton truely is). I dont think this will actually happen and guy who arent born ready, like Lance Stevenson will continue to jump and fail.
But if ADs and school presidents want to create the best programs i think that over time they will shy away from coaches who rely on one and dones like Calipari and begin to focus on hiring coaches like Coach K or Roy Williams (or a ton of others) who will accept one and dones but understand the nature of their role in a program and accept all the consequences.

West Virginia's Devin Ebanks will declare for NBA Draft, but will not hire an agent yet. Via Fox Sports "The New York native struggled with his perimeter shot, but has made huge strides on the defensive end and several NBA executives said he would be a lock first-rounder due to his length and versatility. "

" From the WVU release, it doesn't sound like anyone expects hiim back: www.wvillustrated.com/wvubasketball/topstory/id/750And as expected Wes Johnson signs with an agent. Glad Cuse only got one year out of him

might get killed for saying this but I think ACC might be just as tough as Big East next year with the way things are shaking out.

At the Top end, probably, and the worst ACC teams are better than the worst BE teams, but i think their will still be more quality (i.e. tournament worthy) teams in the BE than in the ACC, even with all the departures.
