Sorry you took me literal. I'll clarify next time.

Yeah. That's my bad. In re-reading it, I get what you meant. Throw in Xavier and Washington and even literally you are probably right.

I think many NBA scouts would disagree with that. I think schools backed off b/c of eligibility concerns. I'm sure Mick was love to have a 21 year old freshman if they were good enough. He already prefers prep school and 5th year players because they are older.

That's true about Mick but I don't know about the NBA. They crush people and drop them in the draft because of age. That is something that SK will be fighting next year. If this kid is good enough to go pro after his first or second year it probably wouldn't matter but the odds don't favor that.

I agree that the NBA drops based on age, but not 21. Assuming a kid is not a complete project, which Etou might be, most college coaches would love to have older kids. I think age is an issue with Etou but more so because of any eligibility concerns, not because of developmental concerns.
